makarakafo[.]icu

Analysis indicates that the domain makarakafo.icu is actively hosting a site titled "KRAKEN" and is classified as a brand impersonation campaign targeting Kraken users. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 45.13.237.246, which geolocates to Germany and is associated with the Datalix hosting provider. DNS resolution is served by ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, and ns3.dnsowl.com, and the site presents a valid Let's Encrypt certificate (YR1) over HTTPS, returning HTTP 200 on request. Registration records show the domain was purchased through NameSilo, LLC. Intelligence feeds have reported the domain on three separate security blocklists and it is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. AlienVault OTX references the domain in two distinct threat pulses, reinforcing its relevance to ongoing investigations. VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain by 11 of 91 security vendors, suggesting a moderate detection rate among scanners. While the page content has not been publicly captured, the presence of the "KRAKEN" title and the explicit impersonation label confirm the intent to deceive Kraken customers. Defenders should add makarakafo.icu to URL filtering and DNS block lists, monitor network traffic for connections to 45.13.237.246, and consider sinkholing the IP range if feasible. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the infrastructure remains active and may evolve.
