# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml-check.us ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 07:07:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-check.us/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, G-Data, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 138.124.59.95 (FI, Helsinki) ASN: ASAS210644 AEZA-AS AEZA GROUP LLC, RU Hosting org: AS210644 AEZA GROUP LLC Registrar: REGISTRAR_NOT_FOUND Nameservers: dns1.regway.com, dns2.regway.com, dns3.regway.com, dns4.regway.com Page title: Wallet Check HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c63a23910d1d35c2d164abe2a2ef0e7ddf2832f01606473b5e4225c0f8b21c9d ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-28 23:23:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 21:26:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:45:31 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/019f101d-08cb-74a0-b97c-799998dd8771/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/56b68c15-5f1d-446d-a685-daeb4d7c4a64 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-check.us crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-check.us Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-check.us AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-check.us URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-check.us/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 23:24:34 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.us, poses as a legitimate anti-money laundering (AML) verification service to deceive users into submitting wallet credentials or sensitive financial information. The site specifically targets cryptocurrency users by presenting a fake "Wallet Check" interface, likely designed to harvest private keys, seed phrases, or login details under the guise of compliance checks. Such scams are commonly used to drain funds from digital wallets or gain unauthorized access to financial accounts. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is actively malicious despite its low detection rate. The domain currently resolves to IP address 138.124.59.95 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. VirusTotal scans show 0 detections out of 95 security engines, suggesting the threat is either new or employs evasion techniques to avoid automated detection. The page title "Wallet Check" and the domain name itself are crafted to mimic official AML verification processes, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. If you visited aml-check.us or entered any information on the site, immediately disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further data transmission. Do not reuse any credentials submitted to the site; change passwords for all financial accounts, especially cryptocurrency wallets. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider revoking access to any connected applications. Report the incident to relevant financial institutions and file a complaint with cybercrime authorities. Avoid interacting with the domain or its associated IP address in the future, as it remains an active threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-A39D36 TLS cert SHA-256: c63a23910d1d35c2d164abe2a2ef0e7ddf2832f01606473b5e4225c0f8b21c9d ## 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.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-check.us 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.
