kra28at[.]cc

The domain kra28at.cc has been identified as a generic phishing site specifically designed to impersonate the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. Analysis indicates this infrastructure was engineered to harvest user credentials and facilitate unauthorized access to crypto wallets. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively targeting users seeking legitimate exchange services. Infrastructure analysis reveals kra28at.cc was flagged by 11 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate consensus on its malicious nature. The domain was registered on March 29, 2026, through Gname 257 Inc, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, geolocated to Canada and hosted by CloudFlare, Inc., a common proxy provider for obfuscating malicious infrastructure. The domain appeared on one security blocklist and was assigned an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a legitimate provider often exploited to lend false credibility to phishing sites. The creation date, set in the future, further suggests an attempt to evade automated detection systems that rely on domain age as a trust signal. Current status confirms kra28at.cc is offline, though the underlying infrastructure may remain dormant or be repurposed for future campaigns. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the DNS level and monitor for any re-emergence on the same IP or registrar. Users who accessed the domain should immediately revoke any active sessions, reset credentials for associated accounts, and scan systems for potential malware. Security teams should treat domains registered through Gname 257 Inc with heightened scrutiny, particularly those resolving to CloudFlare IPs with SSL certificates from major providers. Proactive monitoring of blocklists and threat intelligence feeds is recommended to detect related phishing infrastructure.
