## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:48 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-30 12:06:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

krkn4at.com - Malicious Domain Targeting Kraken Users

krkn4at.com is a phishing domain that targets users of the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. It has been flagged by 5 out of 94 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a recognized threat. The domain was created on March 29, 2026, and has already been taken offline, reducing its immediate risk. However, its presence on public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, highlights its potential danger.

The domain's takedown suggests a swift response from authorities or hosting providers. Despite its offline status, the fact that it was flagged by multiple security vendors underscores its malicious intent. Phishing domains like krkn4at.com often aim to steal login credentials and financial information by mimicking legitimate sites. Users who may have visited the site before it was taken down could have been exposed to such risks.

PhishDestroy's inclusion of krkn4at.com in its blocklist ensures that users relying on these lists are protected from accessing the domain. The relatively low number of VirusTotal detections at the time of analysis suggests that the domain was either newly active or adept at evading certain detection methods. This case exemplifies the ongoing challenge of phishing threats in the cryptocurrency sector, where attackers frequently target popular platforms like Kraken.

## 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.
