No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-29 02:43:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-28 23:44:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-24 16:16:59 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d36d2-eb20-76cb-8680-32938bdaa972/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4a1a4d31-5e1d-44e9-89f7-152e521b2fcd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken60.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken60.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken60.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken60.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken60.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 02:44:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain kraken60.cc is currently flagged for brand impersonation targeting the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. This domain poses a potential risk of deceiving users into trusting a fraudulent site that mimics Kraken's brand, with the ongoing investigation status marking it as an active threat. The impersonation threat specifically relates to Kraken, raising concerns over user security and trust in cryptocurrency platforms. Technical analysis reveals that kraken60.cc was registered on April 7, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.35.67, and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal currently shows zero detections out of 95 vendors, indicating no immediate malware flag but does not imply safety given the impersonation intent. No blocklist counts were indicated, but the domain’s registration and SSL details suggest a crafted attempt to appear legitimate. At present, kraken60.cc remains active and under investigation. Users and security professionals are advised to exercise caution when encountering this domain. Concrete recommendations include verifying website authenticity via trusted sources, avoiding input of sensitive credentials on kraken60.cc, and monitoring communications purportedly from Kraken for signs of fraud. Reporting suspicious activity related to this domain to security platforms like PhishDestroy will aid in further risk mitigation and user protection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260328-F3142F ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken60.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken60.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
