Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Nameservers: ["brenda.ns.cloudflare.com", "rex.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-24 Page title: AMLFreeBot - Comprehensive AML Compliance Solutions for Crypto ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d5ca5168b0ba937aa7eb10b2172914a9cea2c33b92df997a687f45e8000530b1 ## 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: 2026-03-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-24 22:23:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-24 19:25:29 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-29 20:47:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-07 17:31:47 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/019d214b-3967-764c-8bfe-4ae1d9cbb777/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/230063df-3d51-42d5-85fc-20fae5e6be43 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-free.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-free.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-free.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-free.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-free.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 15:43:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aml-free.com: Crypto Drainer Scam Exposed The domain aml-free.com is confirmed to be a crypto drainer phishing site and is currently offline. This domain impersonates a legitimate AML compliance service for cryptocurrency, aiming to deceive users into providing sensitive information or transferring funds. Analysis indicates that aml-free.com has been flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of detection and awareness within the security community. The domain is registered through CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 172.67.213.173. It was created on March 24, 2026, and has appeared on 1 security blocklist. The site uses Cloudflare and HTTP/3 technologies, which can obscure the true nature of the domain. Gridinsoft's trust score for this domain is 0/100, indicating a high level of distrust. The current status of aml-free.com is offline, which may indicate that the site has been taken down by the registrar or hosting provider in response to security alerts. Despite this, the domain remains a potential threat as it could be reactivated or repurposed. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for any reactivation of this domain and to educate users on the signs of phishing, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency services. It is recommended to avoid clicking on links from unknown sources and to verify the legitimacy of AML compliance services through official channels. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260324-A785ED TLS cert SHA-256: d5ca5168b0ba937aa7eb10b2172914a9cea2c33b92df997a687f45e8000530b1 ## 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 (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-free.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-free.com 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.
