kraken-crypot[.]info

Analysis of kraken-crypot.info shows a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Kraken users. The domain was registered on November 22, 2025 through Dynadot LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 45.93.31.68, which is associated with AS138195 (MOACK.Co.LTD) in the Republic of Korea. No SSL certificate is presented, indicating that the site operates over plain HTTP. The page title returned by the server is "Kraken," matching the declared brand target and confirming the intent to mimic the legitimate exchange.

Google Safe Browsing flags the domain for social engineering, and VirusTotal reports that 15 of 95 security vendors have flagged the site, reinforcing the malicious classification. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, while AlienVault OTX includes it in one threat‑intelligence pulse. Nameserver records point to melina.ns.cloudflare.com and pete.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting the use of Cloudflare DNS services for infrastructure concealment.

The site is currently taken offline, but historical evidence indicates it was used for a crypto‑scam that pretended to be Kraken, likely to harvest credentials or lure victims into fraudulent transactions. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and Cloudflare nameservers, and update any internal phishing‑detection rules to include this exact indicator set. Further investigation is needed to determine whether additional infrastructure (e.g., command‑and‑control servers or drop sites) shares the same IP or ASN, as the current data set does not reveal such links.
