## VERDICT

TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: AMLBot

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, G-Data
Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.188.216 (US, San Francisco)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1

## 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)

Last verified:     2026-04-22 13:15:45 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:49:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies amlbot.click as a domain impersonating the legitimate AMLBot brand, posing a potential risk to users. Although the threat level is considered low, this site attempts to confuse visitors by mimicking AMLBot, which can lead to data exposure or unauthorized access.

This phishing scheme works by presenting itself as AMLBot, encouraging users to enter sensitive information or credentials. The domain was created recently and appears on several security blocklists, with a small number of security vendors flagging it as suspicious. Attackers rely on brand trust to trick users into sharing data or clicking harmful links.

If you have visited amlbot.click, it is recommended to avoid providing any personal or login information. Run a thorough security scan on your device and change any passwords related to AMLBot accounts. Stay vigilant and always verify URLs before entering sensitive data to protect yourself from such impersonation attempts.

## 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.
