## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-25 20:01:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified krakenmall.cc as a malicious domain engaging in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. Classified under high-risk due to its deceptive nature, the domain aims to mislead users into trusting fraudulent services or divulging sensitive information.

Technical analysis reveals that krakenmall.cc was registered recently on March 25, 2026. VirusTotal scans indicate that 10 out of 95 security vendors currently flag this domain, underlining its suspicious activity. The infrastructure supporting this domain is consistent with common tactics used in phishing campaigns, including mimicking brand appearance and deceptive URL patterns designed to confuse users.

As of now, krakenmall.cc remains active and continues to pose a threat to unsuspecting individuals. PhishDestroy advises caution and vigilance when encountering this domain. Users should refrain from engaging with the site and report any suspicious interactions. Continuous monitoring and timely updates will be provided to assist security teams and end users in mitigating the risk associated with this impersonation attempt.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260325-F63FBC
Favicon MD5:       06ef92b689fa080cb0d67fc8a7596abd
TLS cert SHA-256:      66f1ac63c142b48ec33e1025e201f9e5918979f7c606f09e126c22265fdf0b5b

## 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.
