Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, aml-sumsub.com, is actively engaged in phishing operations targeting cryptocurrency users under the guise of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification. The site presents itself as a legitimate AML compliance check, likely designed to harvest login credentials, personal identification details, or financial information from victims attempting to comply with regulatory requirements. The use of cryptocurrency-related lures increases the likelihood of targeting individuals or entities with digital asset holdings, posing a direct risk of unauthorized account access or financial theft. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on May 08, 2024, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing infrastructure. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.84.16 and is currently flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for generic phishing. It appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by OISD. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to malicious sites. The page title, 'Crypto AML Check | Sumsub,' directly mimics the branding of a legitimate identity verification provider, further enhancing its deceptive appearance. Users who have visited aml-sumsub.com or interacted with its content should immediately cease all engagement and assume their credentials or sensitive information may have been compromised. Affected individuals should revoke any active sessions, enable multi-factor authentication on all financial and cryptocurrency accounts, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. If personal or financial data was submitted, consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities and credit monitoring services. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP address (104.21.84.16) at the perimeter to prevent further access. The domain remains active as of this report, and continued vigilance is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-C081A4 Favicon MD5: cf22b1ff9089caf6803645cb5deaaf32 TLS cert SHA-256: 9186e46a07e155f237678cd04d833a75841ae2fb6b8975e1e5809cf8bb6936c9 ## 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-sumsub.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-sumsub.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.
