kra37cc-kra38cc[.]ru

Analysis of kra37cc-kra38cc.ru confirms it was a brand-impersonation domain targeting Kraken, the cryptocurrency exchange. The domain, registered on August 31, 2025, through DOMENUS-RU, resolved to 172.67.190.44, a Cloudflare IP (AS13335) located in the US. No SSL certificate was present, increasing the risk of plaintext credential interception. The page title, 'kra37 cc, kra38 cc официальная ссылка по землеройным работам и услугам спецтехники,' is anomalous for a cryptocurrency platform, suggesting either misdirection or a placeholder during development.

Nameservers dax.ns.cloudflare.com and magdalena.ns.cloudflare.com indicate Cloudflare hosting, a common tactic to obscure origin infrastructure. The domain appeared on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and was flagged by 2 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, though the specific detection engines and signatures are not detailed in available intelligence. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, consistent with confirmed malicious domains. As of the report date, the domain is offline, likely following takedown action.

Defenders should treat any residual DNS queries or cached references to this domain as indicators of compromise (IOCs). While the exact phishing kit or payload is not confirmed, the combination of Kraken impersonation, Cloudflare obfuscation, and absence of SSL aligns with credential-harvesting campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users. Network defenders are advised to block the domain, IP, and associated nameservers at perimeter controls and monitor for related infrastructure reuse under new domains.
