cn-kraken[.]com[.]cn

Analysis of the domain cn-kraken.com.cn indicates a brand‑impersonation campaign aimed at the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. The domain was registered on June 22, 2026 by 北京新网数码信息技术有限公司 and resolves to the IP address 47.239.173.17, which is located in Hong Kong and is announced by ASN 45102 (Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd.). The site presented the page title "Kraken加密货币交易所-中文官网," confirming the intended brand target. Infrastructure details show the domain is served with a Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR1) and uses four name‑servers: ns1.myhostadmin.net, ns2.myhostadmin.net, ns1.west.cn, and ns2.west.cn.

VirusTotal scans recorded two detections out of 91 security vendors, and the domain appears on three independent security blocklists. Additional defensive feeds, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, have also blocked the domain. Current HTTP probing reports the site as taken offline, and no further content is observable.

While the available evidence confirms the impersonation intent and provides concrete technical indicators, the lack of live payload or phishing page details limits assessment of the exact user‑interaction vector. Defenders should add the IP address 47.239.173.17 and the full domain name to blocklists, monitor the listed name‑servers for future reuse, and consider scanning any client logs for connections to this host. Continuous observation of the registrar and certificate issuance patterns is advised to detect possible re‑registration attempts.
