No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:52:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 11:10:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e48-17d4-726b-8f4e-20aebece9d53/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krakengadget.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krakengadget.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krakengadget.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krakengadget.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krakengadget.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:55:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] krakengadget.net has been identified as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency platform. The site uses deceptive branding and a misleading page title—KRAKEN Market—along with Cyrillic text to give the appearance of legitimacy, thereby increasing the likelihood of user trust and engagement. This domain is designed to mislead visitors into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Kraken entity, putting users at significant risk for fraudulent activity, such as credential theft and financial loss. Technical analysis reveals several risk factors. VirusTotal currently lists 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain, indicating that malicious activity has been detected, but widespread blocklist coverage is not yet present. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was created on June 24, 2026, making it a recent addition to the threat landscape. The site is hosted at IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may further contribute to a false sense of security for users. These indicators collectively demonstrate that krakengadget.net is active, technically equipped to operate as a phishing or credential harvesting platform, and currently evades most automated detection systems. Users who have visited krakengadget.net should immediately avoid interacting further with the site and refrain from entering any personal or financial information. Anyone who has submitted credentials or sensitive data is advised to change passwords and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams should block access to this domain and monitor network logs for any signs of compromise originating from 188.114.96.3. Increased user awareness and technical controls are recommended to mitigate the risks posed by this brand impersonation campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2d7cd7d038c52a63ef33345d319f7117 TLS cert SHA-256: cc39359564aa7970280a54aac0e8f5ebe275f1f501bba079bba15a41c84377b2 ## 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/krakengadget.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krakengadget.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
