kra36at[.]cc

Analysis of the domain kra36at.cc indicates it was a brand-impersonation scam targeting Kraken, a cryptocurrency exchange. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and is currently offline as of July 24, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to 104.21.8.172, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335), and utilized Cloudflare nameservers (shaz.ns.cloudflare.com, yadiel.ns.cloudflare.com). The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the site supported HTTP/3, consistent with Cloudflare's standard configuration. Detection data shows the domain was flagged by 7 of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal, though the specific detection categories are not detailed.

It appeared on three security blocklists and was explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating prior recognition as malicious. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, further corroborating its classification as high-risk. The page title was 'KRAKEN,' matching the targeted brand, and the scam type was categorized as a crypto scam, though no additional details about the site's functionality or attack vector are available. Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious.

The combination of brand impersonation, low trust scores, blocklist presence, and vendor detections provides sufficient evidence for blacklisting. While the domain is offline, monitoring for re-registration or similar domains (e.g., typosquatting variants) is recommended. No evidence links this domain to broader campaign infrastructure, but the use of Cloudflare hosting is consistent with many phishing operations due to its ease of deployment and obfuscation capabilities. The exact content of the site remains unanalyzed, so specific lures or payloads are unknown.
