# PhishDestroy threat dossier — krkaen.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 12:09:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krkaen.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: dns1.p08.nsone.net, dns2.p08.nsone.net, dns3.p08.nsone.net, dns4.p08.nsone.net Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wixstudio.com ## 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 10:08:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:10:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 12:36:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf78-4d62-72a2-8486-e0a018acf5a2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/afe4d43d-098e-4694-bf9f-08006ba46a8f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krkaen.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krkaen.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krkaen.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krkaen.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krkaen.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:42:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, krkaen.wixstudio.com, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. The site mimics legitimate Kraken branding, login interfaces, and promotional content to deceive visitors into disclosing sensitive credentials, such as wallet private keys, recovery phrases, or account passwords. Such impersonation schemes are frequently used to facilitate unauthorized access to cryptocurrency wallets, leading to asset theft or financial fraud. The domain’s design and content structure closely resemble official Kraken properties, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks against unsuspecting users seeking to trade or manage digital assets. Analysis of the domain’s infrastructure reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on December 17, 2016, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious, with 12 out of 95 engines detecting it as a threat. The domain appears on five distinct security blocklists, including those maintained by cryptocurrency-focused security providers. Additionally, the SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt does not mitigate the risk, as legitimate-looking encryption is often exploited to lend false credibility to phishing sites. The domain’s presence on multiple blocklists, combined with its long-standing registration and recent malicious activity, underscores its persistent threat to users. Users who have visited krkaen.wixstudio.com or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If credentials or wallet information were entered on the site, affected accounts should be considered compromised. Users should revoke any active sessions, reset passwords, and transfer assets to new, secure wallets. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enabled on all related accounts, and any suspicious transactions should be reported to the legitimate platform. Additionally, users are advised to scan their devices for malware, as phishing sites may distribute malicious payloads. Monitoring for unauthorized access or unusual activity is critical, and affected individuals should remain vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts via email or messaging platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-F89D87 Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/krkaen.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krkaen.wixstudio.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.
