Is kra5.ru legit or a scam?
A malicious clone site masquerading as an electronics store while serving as a gateway for illicit Russian-language marketplaces.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain kra5.ru is a direct clone of slon4.at, a site already flagged by our threat intelligence for phishing and scam activity. While it presents as a legitimate shop for headphones and power banks, it lacks any verifiable business registration or physical address. Our research confirms that this specific branding is frequently used as a mirror for the 'Kraken' illicit marketplace. The site claims to have processed 47,000 orders over five years, yet the domain itself is a recent registration with no independent customer history. This combination of fake business credentials and darknet ties indicates a high risk of data theft or financial fraud.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for kra5.ru, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- kra5.ru serves the exact page content of slon4.at, an online store claiming to sell portable electronics (wireless headphones, power banks, GaN chargers, portable speakers) with same-day courier delivery in Moscow and SDEK/Boxberry across R
- The site claims 5 years in operation, 47K+ orders, 99% positive reviews, 12-month warranty, and payments including online card, SBP, SberPay, and cash-on-delivery.
- No verifiable business registration, physical address, or legal entity details are provided on the page.
- slon4.at (and variants like slon4.cc) is heavily associated with mirrors and entry points for the Russian darknet marketplace 'Kraken' (Кракен), often promoted in forums as official links for a drug/illicit goods platform.
- Security tools (Gridinsoft) classify slon4.at-related sites as scam/phishing; multiple clone/phishing domains (e.g. slon4cc.top, slon4--atttt.ru) actively mimic it.
- Domain appears recently registered or repurposed (listed among freed .ru domains in 2025); no independent customer reviews, Trustpilot, or ScamAdviser data found specifically for kra5.ru.
- The combination of fake storefront branding, darknet marketplace ties, and lack of transparency matches common Russian-language scam patterns for illicit market mirrors that may steal payment data or deliver nothing.
- Gridinsoftopen
"Gridinsoft blocks this website because it was classified as scam website. slon4.at should not be treated as a safe website."
- PhishDestroyopen
"ALERT: slon4cc.top mimics slon4.at in active phishing scam. This domain operates under the guise of slon4.at , a known legitimate domain, to deceive visitors into surrendering sensitive information or installing malware."
The domain kra5.ru loads content with title and description explicitly branded as 'slon4.at — интернет-магазин портативной электроники с доставкой'. It presents itself as the store while using a completely different domain, a common tactic for mirrors or phishing clones in Russian darknet/underground marketplaces.
