## 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: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, Webroot
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.

krn21cc.com - Malicious Phishing Domain

krn21cc.com is a phishing domain that has been taken offline but was flagged as malicious by 8 out of 94 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain, created on March 29, 2026, appears on one public blocklist, which includes PhishDestroy. Despite its current offline status, its detection by multiple security vendors indicates its potential for harm.

The domain's presence on VirusTotal with 8 detections suggests it was actively used for malicious purposes before being taken down. The fact that it has been included in a public blocklist highlights the threat it posed during its operational period. These detections emphasize the importance of timely identification and mitigation of such threats to protect users from phishing attacks.

Phishing domains like krn21cc.com exploit vulnerabilities in the digital landscape, often targeting unsuspecting users to steal sensitive information. The rapid detection and subsequent takedown of this domain demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative efforts between security vendors and blocklist maintainers in combating cyber threats. As the domain is now offline, it no longer poses an immediate threat, but its history serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance in the cybersecurity community.

## 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.
