## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Brand Impersonation
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-29

## 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.

krakenqr.net Fake Kraken Alert

PhishDestroy identifies krakenqr.net as a domain posing a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Kraken, and is currently offline. 
   
This domain was flagged by 6 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a notable level of malicious activity. Although specific details such as the registrar name, IP, creation date, blocklist count, and trust scores are not provided, the fact that it has been taken offline suggests a proactive measure against its malicious intentions.

The current status of krakenqr.net being offline reduces its immediate risk, but users should remain vigilant, especially when encountering domains that impersonate well-known brands like Kraken. To stay safe, users should always verify the authenticity of websites, especially those related to financial services, and be cautious of domains that mimic established brands. Utilizing antivirus software and keeping browsers up to date can also help in mitigating such threats.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-03-29
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed

## 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.
