# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlbot.shop ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-21 23:17:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlbot.shop/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 90/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: AMLBot ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Trustwave Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a02:26f0:3400::1703:5809 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS20940 AKAMAI-ASN1 Akamai International B.V., NL Hosting org: AS20940 Akamai International B.V. Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ["harmony.ns.cloudflare.com", "doug.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Haku – Microsoft Bing HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 45557d8d997ace0665562c5a3e2c6a6bb0c2b3e948b1b8795b5b5904e0933dad ## 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: 2026-02-26 23:21:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-18 13:14:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01994636-bdb3-733f-a8cd-3c5488925405/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlbot.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlbot.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlbot.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlbot.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlbot.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:49:26 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.shop as a domain engaging in brand impersonation targeting AMLBot. Classified as a low-risk threat, this domain was created on February 21, 2026, and attempted to mimic AMLBot’s legitimate presence to deceive users. Technical analysis reveals that amlbot.shop resolves to the IPv6 address 2a02:26f0:3400::1703:5809 and was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The site’s page title indicated the server was down ("521: Web server is down"), suggesting limited or no active malicious content at the time of analysis. Currently, amlbot.shop is offline, reducing the immediate threat to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring and caution, advising users to avoid interaction with this domain and report any suspicious emails or links purporting to be from AMLBot to prevent credential theft or fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7a96df1634acb140c5fa12e173c3518e TLS cert SHA-256: 45557d8d997ace0665562c5a3e2c6a6bb0c2b3e948b1b8795b5b5904e0933dad ## 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.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlbot.shop 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.
