This domain, kraken[.]broker, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive users by replicating Kraken’s official branding, including the page title 'Kraken | Own the Power of Your Money — Crypto, Stocks & more.' There is no evidence of a crypto drainer kit at this time, but the domain’s infrastructure and content suggest a focus on credential theft or fraudulent account access under the guise of legitimate services.
Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.222.238, which is hosted on a content delivery network (CDN) known for obfuscating malicious infrastructure. The domain’s SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend an appearance of legitimacy. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, while Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet listed it as a threat. No additional blocklist entries were identified at the time of analysis, though the low detection rate may reflect evasion techniques or recent activation.
As of the latest assessment, kraken[.]broker remains active and continues to host fraudulent content mimicking Kraken’s official platform. Users encountering this domain are advised to avoid interaction, as any credentials or sensitive information entered are likely to be harvested for unauthorized access or financial theft. Organizations should consider proactively blocking the domain and its resolving IP at the network level. Despite its low initial detection rate, the domain’s infrastructure, registration details, and impersonation tactics present a persistent risk to users unaware of the threat. Ongoing monitoring is recommended to track potential shifts in its operational status or detection by additional security vendors.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with kraken.broker — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
kraken.broker) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
