krakroll[.]cc

This domain, krakroll.cc, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the domain hosts fraudulent content masquerading as Kraken, specifically promoting a gambling scheme titled 'Рулетка Кракен - как играть и выиграть товары' (Kraken Roulette - how to play and win goods). The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, designed to deceive users into engaging with malicious or fraudulent activities under the guise of a legitimate service. No evidence of a crypto drainer kit or credential theft mechanism was explicitly identified in the available data, but the impersonation tactic suggests potential for broader exploitation. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of suspicion. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is associated with Cloudflare infrastructure, a common obfuscation tactic to conceal hosting origins. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, a registrar frequently utilized for low-reputation domains. It appears on a single security blocklist and is assigned a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, reflecting its high-risk classification. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is not explicitly provided, but the domain's presence on one blocklist and its offline status suggest prior detection. As of the latest assessment, krakroll.cc has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or hosting provider intervention. However, the remaining risk persists due to the domain's recent registration and the potential for re-emergence under altered infrastructure. Users are advised to verify the authenticity of any communication or web presence claiming affiliation with Kraken, particularly those promoting unsolicited gambling or reward schemes. Organizations should monitor for similar impersonation domains leveraging Cloudflare or other content delivery networks (CDNs) to evade detection. Blocking the IP address 188.114.96.3 and domains registered through NiceNIC may mitigate residual risk.
