kraken-vhod9[.]online

On 21 February 2026 the domain kraken-vhod9.online was registered through REGRU‑RU and delegated to the nameservers ns1.reg.ru and ns2.reg.ru. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 185.105.225.180, which is hosted in Russia and identified as a hosting‑services location. The domain’s page title, as recorded in the intelligence feed, is identical to the domain name (kraken‑vhod9.online). The brand target field lists Kraken, indicating an attempt to impersonate the cryptocurrency exchange, and the scam type is classified as a crypto scam.

VirusTotal analysis shows that one of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain, confirming at least a single detection of malicious behavior. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically listed as blocked by PhishDestroy. Current infrastructure status is offline; the domain has been taken down, but the underlying hosting and registration details remain unchanged. The evidence confirms a brand‑impersonation infrastructure that leverages a Russian‑based hosting provider to host a crypto‑related malicious site.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms because no page content beyond the title has been captured. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter, monitor the associated IP address 185.105.225.180 for any future activity, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Additional investigation of the registrar REGRU‑RU and the hosting provider may reveal related domains that share the same nameservers or IP range.
