kraken[.]paxxywok[.]ru

The domain kraken.paxxywok.ru was registered through the Russian registrar REGRU‑RU on 7 February 2025. It resolves to the IPv4 address 193.105.134.30, which is assigned to AS42237 operated by w1n ltd and geolocated to Sweden. The site presents a Russian page title “Кракен - AT дизайн интерьеров в 3D формате”, which bears no direct reference to the cryptocurrency exchange brand Kraken, yet the domain is flagged as a brand‑impersonation and crypto‑scam artifact. VirusTotal analysis shows that eight of ninety‑five scanning engines have reported malicious behavior for this host, indicating a moderate detection consensus. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service.

No HTTPS certificate is deployed, leaving the HTTP service unencrypted, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting the highest possible risk rating. Nameserver configuration lists ns1.regerey.com and ns2.regerey.com, which are typical of low‑cost hosting services. The site is currently offline, and its status is reported as taken offline. Evidence confirms that the infrastructure is aligned with known crypto‑draining campaigns that leverage brand impersonation to lure victims.

However, the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms employed by this site have not been publicly disclosed, and no static content snapshots are available for deeper analysis. Defenders should continue to block the IP address 193.105.134.30 at network perimeter devices, enforce DNS filtering for kraken.paxxywok.ru, and monitor for any resurgence of the domain or its nameservers. Additional scrutiny of other domains registered with REGRU‑RU and hosting on AS42237 is advisable, as the same operator may be re‑using similar assets. Ongoing threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for updates, and any detection of similar brand‑impersonation patterns should be escalated according to incident response procedures.
