# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlbot-crystal.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 15:49:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlbot-crystal.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: bitget (and: csgo, facebook, instagram, ledger, linkedin) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.132.225 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Registered: 2025-06-25 Expires: 2026-06-25 Page title: AML Check ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 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: 2025-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:22:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 19:11:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198f25a-5775-77ec-b95b-cac46d65630d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlbot-crystal.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlbot-crystal.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlbot-crystal.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlbot-crystal.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlbot-crystal.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:57:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain amlbot-crystal.org poses a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the brand bitget, and is currently offline. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, and was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolving to the IP address 172.67.132.225, which was created on June 25, 2025, and appears on 1 security blocklist. PhishDestroy identifies that the domain's page title, AML Check, may have been used to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, and with an SSL certificate issued by WE1, users may have been misled into believing the site was legitimate. The fact that it was flagged by VirusTotal vendors and appears on a security blocklist raises concerns about its trustworthiness. Given the current status of the domain being taken offline, it is likely that the threat has been mitigated, but users should still exercise caution when encountering similar domains, and verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information, especially when targeted by brand impersonation threats like the one posed by amlbot-crystal.org, which has been flagged for its potential to deceive users ## 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/amlbot-crystal.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlbot-crystal.org 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.
