## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-28 23:35:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates under_investigation risk level for aml-core.com due to generic phishing operations centered on credential capture via deceptive login interfaces. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain remains active with no blocklist entries recorded.

This domain aml-core.com was created on June 09 2025 and registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal reports exactly 0 detections out of 95 scanners while the status stays active and trust scores remain unlisted.

Users should avoid submitting any login credentials or wallet details on aml-core.com. Network defenders must block the IP 188.114.96.3 at firewall level and monitor for similar domains created after June 09 2025 through the same registrar. Regular checks of DNS resolutions and certificate transparency logs provide additional detection of related infrastructure.

  - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260628-95A94F

## 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.
