## 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.

krakenshop.cc Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report analyzes the domain krakenshop.cc. The site’s page title claims to be "Kraken: Buy and sell crypto securely in The Netherlands," and it impersonates the legitimate Kraken brand. The identified scam type is cryptocurrency, indicating the site poses a threat by attempting to deceive users into engaging with a fraudulent crypto platform, potentially leading to financial loss or credential theft.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 10 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It was created on 2023-07-19 and registered with Soaring Eagle Domains, LLC. The IP address is 104.17.189.205, located in the US, and hosted on AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (R12). The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE.

The current status is DOWN/OFFLINE, indicating the site is not accessible. The GridinSoft trust score is 0 out of 100, and the DOM risk score is 10, reflecting a high-risk assessment. The risk level is elevated due to the impersonation of a known brand and the cryptocurrency scam classification, even though the site is offline at this time.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      8e8bdb1f69ed9b7d372e09b0efdbd0cfdbb55b5c8d06cc96688ccfc834dfd581

## 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.
