## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.171.190 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

aml.cheap — Investment Scam Phishing Report

The domain aml.cheap was observed serving a page titled "AMLSECURE" and returned HTTP 200. The site is protected by a Let's Encrypt certificate (CN=YE2) and resolves to the Cloudflare IP 172.67.171.190, which is registered to Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. Registration was performed through NameSilo, LLC, and the authoritative nameservers are everton.ns.cloudflare.com and ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com. The infrastructure has been flagged by PhishDestroy and appears on a single public blocklist. VirusTotal scans report that 7 of 91 antivirus engines flagged the domain, and AlienVault OTX lists it in two threat-intel pulses, indicating prior malicious use. The domain is classified as an investment-scam phishing operation. Current status remains active as of the report date. Public defenders should block the domain at perimeter firewalls, add it to URL filtering and DNS sinkhole lists, and monitor for any credential-harvesting activity targeting users. Further analysis of the page content and any associated payloads is required to determine the exact phishing vector and victim profile, as those details are not yet available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d7c27956d3e21cb09e05a585bf0739e4
TLS cert SHA-256:      479fb722239ccb6c72d9cd33d9e4e1ef04cc29df88e5aa6f3588f5a59df34943

## 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.
