Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies krakenmarket-zone.cc as an active brand impersonation site created on March 13, 2025, specifically targeting Kraken cryptocurrency exchange users. This fraudulent domain resolves to IP address 86.54.25.38 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Security analysis reveals that 12 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating its involvement in phishing campaigns designed to steal login credentials and financial information. The domain's recent creation date and high blocklist detection rate demonstrate an elevated threat level to unsuspecting users. The fraudulent site uses the official Kraken branding to deceive visitors into entering sensitive account information, with potential consequences including unauthorized access to cryptocurrency wallets and financial losses. The domain's recent registration and active status suggest this is part of an ongoing campaign rather than an isolated incident. If you have visited krakenmarket-zone.cc, immediately change your Kraken account password and enable two-factor authentication. Check your account for any unauthorized transactions and consider revoking any API keys or withdrawal permissions granted to this fraudulent site. Report the domain to Kraken's security team and your local cybercrime unit. Avoid clicking any links from unsolicited emails or messages promoting this domain, and verify all cryptocurrency-related URLs through official channels before entering any sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c7a2a7714e66837403812bbb88005842 ## 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/krakenmarket-zone.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krakenmarket-zone.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.
