krakenoi[.]com

Analysis conducted on July 24, 2026 identifies krakenoi.com as an offline domain that was actively used for a cryptocurrency‑focused brand impersonation campaign targeting Kraken users. The domain was registered on March 11, 2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and is hosted on a single IPv4 address (18.162.120.187) located in Hong Kong and associated with Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509). DNS resolution is served by Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers sharon.ns.cloudflare.com and sterling.ns.cloudflare.com, and the TLS certificate presented is a Cloudflare‑issued Managed CA (fingerprint 1f7bed55a379bd5f2f53b866b0cbbf89). HTTP requests return a 403 Forbidden page title, indicating that the site is currently inaccessible but was previously reachable.

VirusTotal scans recorded 2 detections out of 94 security vendors, and the domain appears on three independent security blocklists. Additional protective services, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, have flagged and blocked the domain. The campaign is classified as a Crypto Scam, leveraging the Kraken brand name to lure victims into fraudulent financial interactions.

While the current offline status limits immediate observation of payload delivery mechanisms, the combination of registrar, hosting, and detection data suggests a purpose‑built infrastructure for credential harvesting or fund diversion. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, update URL filtering policies, and monitor for any re‑activation of the domain or associated IP address. Threat intelligence teams are advised to correlate this indicator with any observed Kraken‑related login attempts, especially those originating from the same IP range, and to share findings with broader security communities to enhance collective detection capability.
