- Dark Web Informer recently flagged a dark web listing for alleged access to Kraken’s internal customer dashboard.
- The posted screenshot, likely from a Russian forum, lists KYC documents, transaction histories, and support tickets tied to Kraken users.
- The seller set a placeholder price of $1, while claiming the access is “read-only” but can “allow[ ] creation of support tickets”.
- If genuine, the credentials could be used in social engineering attacks by impersonating support staff and citing real account data.
- Kraken has not publicly responded; Protos reported it reached out and received no reply before publication.
Who and what: A dark web monitoring account, Dark Web Informer, recently reported a listing selling alleged panel access to Kraken’s internal customer dashboard on a Russian-language forum. The listing reportedly offers access to customer KYC files, transaction records, and support tickets for the exchange’s users.
Figures and developments: The vendor posted a placeholder fee of $1 and described the access as “read-only” while claiming it could “allow[ ] creation of support tickets”. Kraken recently raised funds from Citadel Securities at a reported $20 billion valuation (see announcement: https://blog.kraken.com/news/800-million-raise-to-advance-strategic-roadmap).
Details from the listing: The screenshot appears to come from a Russian forum likely tied to RAMP or Exploit-style marketplaces. The post lists personally identifiable information, including selfies and government ID images, and asserts access to internal support tools. The monitoring account that flagged the post can be viewed here: https://twitter.com/DarkWebInformer/status/2006853492871188940?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006853492871188940%7Ctwgr%5Ec89f1a7ea4380adaa46f7a6e745b2000fe88f5f3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_.
What “panel access” means: In dark web terms, “panel access” refers to compromised credentials for internal customer support software such as Zendesk or Salesforce, or third-party portals like Kodex. These tools let staff view KYC records and support histories. Read-only access prevents direct withdrawals but can still reveal detailed user data. Creating support tickets is a simple but powerful vector for impersonation and social engineering.
Verification and risks: The listing’s authenticity cannot be confirmed without accessing the forum via Tor and communicating with the seller. Dark web marketplaces sometimes contain fabricated listings used to scam buyers, and law enforcement has been known to post decoys. Dark Web Informer has a sizable following and some community scrutiny; one contested note is viewable here: https://x.com/DarkWebInformer/status/1984721013465059334.
Context and history: Forums tied to RAMP and Exploit have been shut down and resurfaced repeatedly. Sellers on these platforms often aim to sell credentials that enable phishing or drainer scams by leveraging real customer documents to build trust.
Responses: Kraken has not responded on its X account or Telegram channel to the allegation. Protos reached out to the exchange for comment and received no response before publication.
