The domain amlbot.limited was observed delivering a crypto‑focused impersonation campaign targeting the AMLBot brand. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolving to the IP address 198.18.2.119, hosted without an SSL certificate, indicating that connections are unencrypted HTTP only. The site is currently offline, as confirmed by the latest status check, and has been removed from active service. Reputation metrics are uniformly negative: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, while Scamadviser reports a modest 45 out of 100, reflecting limited confidence in the domain’s legitimacy.
The domain is listed on at least one public security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, confirming that defensive platforms have recognized it as malicious. AlienVault’s Open Threat Exchange references the domain in a single threat‑intel pulse, further corroborating its involvement in malicious activity. VirusTotal scans returned detections from 11 of 95 security vendors, providing independent confirmation of the domain’s malicious nature. The page title returned by the HTTP response is “amlbot.limited,” matching the domain name and offering no additional context about the content served.
The domain is identified as a crypto scam that impersonates AMLBot, but no further detail about the specific fraudulent payload or user‑interaction flow is publicly available. Defenders should ensure that traffic to 198.18.2.119 is blocked at network perimeters, add amlbot.limited to local and cloud‑based blocklists, and monitor inbound/outbound connections for any residual activity. Continued observation of DNS queries for the domain is advisable, as the lack of disclosed nameserver information may indicate the use of dynamic or fast‑flux infrastructure that could reappear under alternative hostnames.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
