No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 15:36:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-25 12:36:43 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 04:41:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-27 16:16:31 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc4a2-dc4c-730a-997a-51a3237976d7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cc46c39d-0e13-49bd-8bf8-773700f785a3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-chek.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-chek.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-chek.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-chek.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-chek.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 15:36:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aml-chek.site has been identified by PhishDestroy as an active crypto drainer phishing domain designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets under the false pretense of an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification tool. The site mimics legitimate compliance services to lure victims into approving malicious wallet transactions that drain funds without consent. Users who interact with this domain risk irreversible financial loss as the drainer leverages smart contract approvals to withdraw tokens directly from connected wallets. This domain is currently under active investigation with a status marked as active by threat intelligence systems. PhishDestroy has compiled critical evidence confirming the malicious nature of aml-chek.site. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.216.45 and is associated with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may be used to appear more trustworthy. Notably, VirusTotal currently reports zero detections out of 95 antivirus engines, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged despite its active phishing operation. The domain was registered on April 25, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a relatively recent registration that correlates with the emergence of this campaign. While specific blocklist counts are not provided, the absence of detections on major platforms underscores the importance of proactive verification to prevent exposure. If you have visited aml-chek.site, disconnect your cryptocurrency wallet immediately and revoke any token approvals or smart contract permissions granted through the site. Use a reputable blockchain explorer or wallet tool to review active approvals and remove unauthorized access points. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and relevant cybersecurity authorities to aid in broader threat intelligence. Avoid re-engaging with the site and share this advisory with others who may have encountered it. Always verify the legitimacy of financial or compliance-related websites by cross-referencing official sources and using trusted security tools before entering sensitive information or connecting wallets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260425-E9F3F3 Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 297846a524e57c54dcc77e1612c967bc79f3f3162ac5133089a71bae57ea3ae5 ## 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-chek.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-chek.site 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.
