# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvydonion.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 02:23:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvydonion.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, Sophos, ThreatHive, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: -1 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registered: 2026-03-29 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## 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 05:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 04:20:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-30 12:06:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:37:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Kraken Impersonation Domain kraken6gf... Flagged This domain, kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvydonion.net, presents an elevated risk due to its specific threat type: brand impersonation targeting Kraken. Such domains are crafted to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate service, often used in credential harvesting or distribution of malware. The elevated risk level indicates that while the domain is currently offline, its potential for harm was significant. PhishDestroy's analysis reveals several concerning technical indicators. VirusTotal flags this domain with 14 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, a strong signal of its deceptive nature. The domain was created on March 29, 2026, which is relatively recent, often a tactic used by threat actors to evade detection. It appears on one security blocklist and has been identified in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Despite being taken offline, the domain's brief existence underscores the need for vigilance. The domain impersonates the Kraken brand, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, making it particularly dangerous for users in the crypto space. To mitigate risks from Kraken brand impersonation, users should always verify the URL before entering credentials or sensitive information. Bookmark official Kraken domains and avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails or messages. Enable two-factor authentication and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. If you encounter this domain or similar threats, report it to security teams and block it at the network level. PhishDestroy recommends using threat intelligence feeds to stay updated on emerging impersonation domains and educating users on recognizing phishing attempts. ## 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 (operator 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/kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvydonion.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvydonion.net 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
