# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml-smart.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 20:28:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-smart.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: Walmart ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Netcraft, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.143.251 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Nameservers: irma.ns.cloudflare.com, lamar.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-27 Expires: 2027-05-27 Page title: AMLFreeBot - Comprehensive AML Compliance Solutions for Crypto HTTP response: 523 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4e7885c3b6e8c0fe6b3b2899b4f017e6130abf27dc5383ea3b364873e37a9c0f ## 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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 23:35:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 21:40:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 22:15:27 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:18:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1028-667c-7215-8b55-725e5272e667/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5c926a4a-6dfd-4027-a63b-f913ffb6f9a9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-smart.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-smart.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-smart.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-smart.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-smart.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 23:45:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Walmart customers. Analysis indicates it is engineered to mimic legitimate Walmart login portals, likely to capture user credentials, payment details, or personal information. The site employs social engineering tactics, such as urgency or fake promotions, to trick visitors into entering sensitive data. Given the domain's design and infrastructure, it poses a high risk of credential theft or financial fraud for unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 27, 2026, through CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity. It currently resolves to IP address 172.67.143.251 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Despite its active status, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, indicating it may still evade detection in some environments. The lack of prior detections suggests either a newly deployed campaign or the use of evasion techniques to bypass automated analysis. Users who have visited aml-smart.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action. First, reset any passwords associated with Walmart accounts, especially if reused across other platforms. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts to mitigate further risk. Monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to the affected institution. If personal or payment information was submitted, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with major credit bureaus. Additionally, scan the device used to access the site for malware, as credential harvesters often deploy secondary payloads. Organizations should block the domain and its associated IP (172.67.143.251) at the network level to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-D49C28 Favicon MD5: a2bd7298aea9971e039fc01c3a944f0d TLS cert SHA-256: 4e7885c3b6e8c0fe6b3b2899b4f017e6130abf27dc5383ea3b364873e37a9c0f ## 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-smart.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-smart.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
