# PhishDestroy threat dossier — krakens-pro.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 22:30:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krakens-pro.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 141.140.14.45 (HK, Hong Kong) ASN: ASAS135542 LIGHT CLOUD TECHNOLOGY Hosting org: AS135542 LIGHT CLOUD TECHNOLOGY Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns53.domaincontrol.com, ns54.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-02-07 Page title: Kraken ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-08 19:27:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 04:37:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c3ea9-3e4a-738f-b28d-8ec5934d5a8a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/41a4d6d2-542e-4981-8933-59f0ab985bfa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krakens-pro.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krakens-pro.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krakens-pro.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krakens-pro.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krakens-pro.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 06:36:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain krakens-pro.com was configured to impersonate the Kraken cryptocurrency brand. The site posed as a cryptocurrency platform, presenting a page titled "Kraken." The primary threat was social engineering, as the site attempted to deceive users into believing it was the legitimate Kraken exchange, likely to harvest credentials or funds. Technical analysis reveals the domain was created on 2026-02-21 and registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It had no SSL certificate. The IP address, 141.140.14.45, is hosted in Hong Kong (HK) on AS135542 LIGHT CLOUD TECHNOLOGY. VirusTotal flagged the site with 21 out of 95 detections. Google Safe Browsing flagged the site for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. The domain was flagged by ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, and Cluster25, and appeared on 3 blocklists. The GridinSoft trust score is 0 out of 100. The domain is currently DOWN and OFFLINE. The DOM risk score is 10, indicating a high risk. The combination of brand impersonation, social engineering flagging, and low trust score confirms this site posed a significant threat for cryptocurrency-related fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260208-1A3671 Favicon SHA-256: c6fac2bdcac5ed71bc1582e59814b4522b09763139300ff3326104850f7593aa ## 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/krakens-pro.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krakens-pro.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.
