# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml-defence.one ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 14:15:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-defence.one/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.86.66.115 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS14956 ROUTERHOSTING - RouterHosting LLC, US Hosting org: AS14956 RouterHosting LLC Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AMLBot - Comprehensive Crypto Compliance Solution | Free AML Crypto Check ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: cdn.jsdelivr.net Expires: 2035-07-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c29da598ca27e274c8fb7e6768cec3974d30b49173ac6e0226b2c6ac4dbab53b ## 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) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-17 01:07:24 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-27 12:21:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-27 00:41:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c6921-7d9f-7446-95af-8557421adac1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/50597081-e08c-4410-9ea2-bd33c4b3baa9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-defence.one crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-defence.one Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-defence.one AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-defence.one URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-defence.one/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 16:03:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above.

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 (operator 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-defence.one/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-defence.one 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
