## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:49:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aml-check.online as a low-risk phishing domain that impersonated a Trust Wallet AML verification page. Users encountering this site risked exposing sensitive information under the guise of compliance checks related to cryptocurrency wallets.

This phishing operation functioned by mimicking a legitimate AML (Anti-Money Laundering) verification portal to trick visitors into submitting private data. Although only a small number of security vendors flagged the domain, and it appeared on just one blocklist, the tactic aimed to exploit users’ trust in wallet security measures.

The domain aml-check.online is currently offline, reducing immediate risk. However, anyone who visited the site should remain vigilant for unusual account activity or phishing attempts and change any credentials they may have entered. Always verify domain legitimacy before submitting personal or financial information online.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      007a7b4d0a6a87b73933d16a3f8fae5ef03eb2406907988898821c776eb99bb5

## 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.
