## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      84.32.84.32 (LT, Vilnius)
ASN:             ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R12
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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:19:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies krakenverification.com as an active domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. The domain attempts to leverage Kraken's brand recognition to deceive users, potentially for phishing or fraudulent activities. Given its medium risk level, users should exercise caution when encountering this domain to avoid falling victim to scams.

The domain krakenverification.com was registered on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 84.32.84.32. VirusTotal flags it by 8 out of 95 security vendors, and it appears on two security blocklists, indicating notable suspicion within the security community. Additionally, it is referenced in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Despite the page title showing a parked domain notice from Hostinger DNS system, the domain's association with Kraken impersonation persists.

At present, krakenverification.com remains active and continues to pose a threat to users who might mistake it for an official Kraken site. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interacting with this domain, verify URLs carefully before submitting any personal or financial information, and report suspicious domains to their security teams. Employing browser security tools and consulting threat intelligence databases like PhishDestroy can help mitigate risks associated with this domain.

## 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.
