# PhishDestroy threat dossier — krakenb30.at
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-23 09:32:28 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krakenb30.at/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/94 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-28
HTTP response:   403

## 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: 2026-03-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-28 06:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 08:20:52 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 05:06:15 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is krakenb30.at a Fake Kraken Crypto Exchange Scam Site?

The domain krakenb30.at has been identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates this infrastructure was designed for phishing operations, specifically to harvest user credentials, API keys, or facilitate unauthorized fund transfers. As of the latest verification, the domain is currently offline, though its prior operational status remains under investigation.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 28, 2026, a date that may suggest an attempt to exploit future brand recognition or planned malicious campaigns. While VirusTotal reports 0 detections across 95 security vendors, the domain appears on 1 security blocklist, indicating preliminary but limited detection. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers have been confirmed in available datasets. The absence of widespread flagging does not preclude malicious intent, particularly given the domain's explicit mimicry of the Kraken brand.  Current risk assessment categorizes krakenb30.at as a dormant but unverified threat. Organizations and users are advised to treat this domain as untrusted until further validation. Recommended actions include: (1) blocking the domain at DNS and firewall levels, (2) monitoring for any reactivation attempts, (3) alerting security teams to potential Kraken-themed phishing lures, and (4) verifying all cryptocurrency exchange URLs through official channels before interaction. Historical impersonation domains often resurface; continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is warranted.

## 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.
