# PhishDestroy threat dossier — secure-krakeen-faqs.tem3.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-23 07:25:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/secure-krakeen-faqs.tem3.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 85/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registered: 2026-05-06 Page title: Official Site® | Kraken* | Digital Asset Exchange ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - tem3.io ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-06 15:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:34:33 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 08:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 02:44:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:03:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, secure-krakeen-faqs.tem3.io, poses a high risk as it engages in brand impersonation specifically targeting Kraken, a well-known digital asset exchange. The site was designed to deceive users into believing they are visiting an official Kraken platform, likely to steal login credentials or cryptocurrency assets. The threat is not generic phishing but a targeted brand impersonation campaign, which increases the likelihood of successful deception among unsuspecting users. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this domain. VirusTotal analysis shows 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists. The domain was created on May 6, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. Its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing has flagged the site for phishing, and the domain is currently offline, indicating it has been taken down after detection. The page title, "Official Site® | Kraken* | Digital Asset Exchange," is a clear attempt to mimic the legitimate Kraken website. Users who may have visited this domain before it was taken offline should immediately change their Kraken account passwords and enable two-factor authentication if not already active. Additionally, they should review their accounts for any unauthorized transactions and consider contacting Kraken support. To avoid such threats in the future, always verify URLs by typing them directly into the browser rather than clicking on links from emails or messages, and use security tools that block known malicious domains. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance against brand impersonation attempts and reporting any suspicious domains to relevant authorities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e09c9a287d8d258c7d1bc68556ba4d1e TLS cert SHA-256: 942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180 ## 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/secure-krakeen-faqs.tem3.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=secure-krakeen-faqs.tem3.io 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.
