# PhishDestroy threat dossier — www-kra8.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 19:26:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/www-kra8.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 86.54.25.38 (GB, Brighton) ASN: AS210006 Shereverov Marat Ahmedovich Hosting org: ADSL: Ashdown School of English Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["jim.ns.cloudflare.com", "joan.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-29 Page title: www-kra8.cc ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 02:38:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d36cf-282e-73fa-b90c-517e520474bf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/www-kra8.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.www-kra8.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=www-kra8.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/www-kra8.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/www-kra8.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 02:38:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies www-kra8.cc as an active crypto drainer scam site, designed to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting victims. This domain masquerades as a legitimate exchange, leveraging deceptive branding to trick users into connecting wallets or entering sensitive credentials. The infrastructure and naming convention (e.g., 'kra8' mimicking 'Kraken') suggest a targeted campaign against cryptocurrency traders, with a focus on draining funds via fraudulent transaction prompts. Technical analysis of www-kra8.cc reveals alarming red flags: the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often exploited by threat actors for disposable infrastructure. Resolving to IP 86.54.25.38, the domain exhibits a brief operational window, having been created on December 09, 2024. VirusTotal confirms its malicious nature, with 4 out of 95 security vendors detecting its threat. While no direct association with Google Safe Browsing (GSB) was observed in this dataset, the domain’s low VT detection ratio suggests it may evade some defenses, increasing its potential impact. Blocklists, including those monitored by PhishDestroy, have flagged this domain multiple times, reinforcing its elevated risk profile. As of the latest analysis, www-kra8.cc remains active and poses a significant threat to cryptocurrency users. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at the network and endpoint levels, flagging the associated IP (86.54.25.38) for takedown or isolation, and disseminating user advisories to raise awareness. Mitigation strategies should prioritize blocking the domain via DNS filtering, monitoring for outbound connections to the IP, and updating threat intelligence feeds to include this indicator. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain’s recent creation, low VT detection rate, and active status, warranting continuous monitoring and proactive defense measures to prevent financial losses. ## 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/www-kra8.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=www-kra8.cc 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.
