# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml-check.click ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 00:21:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-check.click/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.50.20 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot, LLC Nameservers: razvan.ns.cloudflare.com, wanda.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-08 Expires: 2027-06-08 Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2f09d89b856c2b02cccdc5bcedb6882aaba4d44bee4322b49e5d12f58e289bf6 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 23:25:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f101e-6028-75ef-ab75-54af49c7d741/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-check.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-check.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-check.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-check.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-check.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 23:35:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, aml-check.click, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting individuals through an AML scam. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate anti-money laundering verification processes, likely to harvest credentials or financial details from unsuspecting victims. No associated drainer kit has been identified at this stage, but the domain’s structure and naming convention align with known fraudulent AML-themed campaigns observed in prior threat clusters (seed reference: 7f5e21). Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain currently resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on June 08, 2026, through Dynadot, LLC. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to the site. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. No entries have been identified on Google Safe Browsing or other major blocklists, further reducing visibility of the threat. The domain remains active, and no takedown actions have been observed at this time. Response actions should include monitoring for changes in detection status, particularly on VirusTotal and other threat intelligence platforms, as well as tracking DNS resolution and SSL certificate updates. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the network level and alert users to the risks of interacting with unverified AML verification sites. Given the lack of detections and recent registration, this domain poses a significant risk of evading automated defenses, necessitating proactive mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2f09d89b856c2b02cccdc5bcedb6882aaba4d44bee4322b49e5d12f58e289bf6 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-check.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-check.click Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
