No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## 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 03:05:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-29 00:09:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:50 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 05:05:49 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d36e7-ca8f-75cc-b50c-0bbbcff8c4ba/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2eb4b209-3bb5-413a-8472-397a8d233ef7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krakenonion.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krakenonion.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krakenonion.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krakenonion.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krakenonion.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 03:06:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain krakenonion.com is currently under investigation for a brand impersonation threat targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. This domain is actively involved in attempts to deceive users by mimicking Kraken’s brand identity, which may lead to credential theft or fraudulent transactions. The specific threat type is brand_impersonation and its status remains active as investigations continue. Technical analysis reveals that krakenonion.com was registered recently on February 20, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, potentially to enhance its appearance of legitimacy. VirusTotal scans report zero detections out of 95 antivirus vendors, meaning it has not yet been flagged as malicious by these engines. There is currently no public blocklist count available, indicating it may not be widely recognized on threat intelligence feeds. Given the absence of VirusTotal detections and the domain’s new registration, the risk remains under assessment but should be considered potentially harmful due to the nature of brand impersonation threats. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with krakenonion.com, especially providing any login credentials or financial information. Organizations should monitor for related phishing attempts and update their threat detection systems accordingly. Immediate blocking and user awareness campaigns are recommended to prevent compromise through this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260329-BAEB76 Favicon MD5: 3e0895adc4e70c1512435585ecdb1345 TLS cert SHA-256: a6820eb897980a8a74bcd314420c71152749ed22e52b2d0c0f7ff1d841318219 ## 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/krakenonion.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krakenonion.com 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.
