================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-23 06:32:22 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krn16cc.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 59/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Seclookup
URLQuery:        -1 detections
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 detected:    2026-03-29 05:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 08:20:51 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-30 12:06:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is krn16cc.com a Credential Theft Scam Targeting Users?

This domain, krn16cc.com, is identified as part of a credential theft phishing infrastructure designed to harvest login credentials from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand or cryptocurrency drainer kit, but the domain exhibits characteristics typical of generic credential harvesting schemes, including deceptive login portals and form submissions that exfiltrate entered data to attacker-controlled servers. The lack of brand impersonation suggests a broader targeting approach, likely aimed at users across multiple platforms or services.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was created on March 29, 2026, and is currently flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appears on one security blocklist and was previously blocked by at least one threat intelligence feed. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is available for this domain, and registrar details remain undisclosed in public records. The domain resolved to no active IP addresses at the time of analysis, indicating a possible takedown or temporary suspension of hosting services.  As of the latest assessment, krn16cc.com is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, the domain remains registered and could be reactivated or repurposed for future malicious campaigns. Users who may have interacted with this domain are advised to reset credentials for any accounts entered on the site, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor for unauthorized access or suspicious activity. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and remain vigilant for similar infrastructure emerging under new registrations.

## 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.
