Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, aml.compliance.ws, is flagged as an active credential theft operation targeting anti-money laundering compliance personnel and financial institutions. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to impersonate legitimate compliance portals, likely harvesting corporate login credentials or sensitive regulatory documentation. No direct association with known cryptocurrency drainer kits has been observed, though the compliance-themed lure suggests potential follow-on attacks involving fraudulent wire transfers or regulatory document forgery. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 198.54.116.112 and was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on December 23, 2025—an anomalous future date that may indicate registry manipulation or domain front-running. The SSL certificate is issued by Sectigo Limited, providing a superficial layer of legitimacy. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections across 95 engines, while Google Safe Browsing and other blocklists have not yet flagged the domain. The absence of prior detections does not preclude malicious intent, particularly given the domain's thematic alignment with high-value financial targets. The domain remains active as of the latest assessment, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Response actions should include immediate internal blocklisting of the domain and IP, monitoring for credential reuse attempts, and alerting compliance teams about the impersonation risk. Remaining risk is elevated due to the domain's plausible branding, lack of prior detections, and potential for targeted spear-phishing. Organizations are advised to verify all compliance-related communications via secondary channels and implement domain-based email authentication controls to mitigate spoofing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-14DF60 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: e1328d223935405d9d82d015b44cb1dbe2aab23ed9f172c0573a79262c49768f ## 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.compliance.ws/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml.compliance.ws 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.
