# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml.checker-bot.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 23:31:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml.checker-bot.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Antiy-AVL, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 95.85.252.10 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS209693 OC NETWORKS LIMITED Hosting org: AS209693 OC NETWORKS LIMITED Registrar: Hello Internet Corp Nameservers: ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-a2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-a3.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-a4.googledomains.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AMLConnect and AMLBot: Securing Web3 Transactions Effectively ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-20 16:57:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-28 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 04:42:42 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/019c7bf9-73d5-7679-8dd5-0eee04b825eb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cdbb28ef-e7fd-4f2b-b41c-e048227e01b8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml.checker-bot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml.checker-bot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml.checker-bot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml.checker-bot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml.checker-bot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 22:05:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This report analyzes the domain aml.checker-bot.com, which is currently offline. The site's page title claimed to represent AMLConnect and AMLBot for securing Web3 transactions, but it impersonated the brand AML Scam and was classified as a cryptocurrency scam type. The threat posed was likely credential harvesting, phishing, or wallet-draining attacks targeting users of legitimate cryptocurrency security services. Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with specific detection from ADMINUSLabs, Antiy-AVL, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar. It was listed on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered through Hello Internet Corp, created on 2026-02-21, and hosted on IP address 95.85.252.10 in Germany, belonging to AS209693 OC NETWORKS LIMITED. No SSL certificate was present, and nameservers were ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-a2.googledomains.com, and ns-cloud-a3.googledo. The current status of aml.checker-bot.com is DOWN/OFFLINE, indicating the site is no longer accessible. The risk level is considered high due to the impersonation of a known brand, high VirusTotal detection rate, and classification as a cryptocurrency scam, though the immediate threat is mitigated by its offline status. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260220-5E31B9 ## 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.checker-bot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml.checker-bot.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.
