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 23:23:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:23:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 16:21:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-19 11:28:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b593a-be21-73c8-be20-507e74f8d209/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/14e465b2-15e4-4bdb-b4f5-872120f50715 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlbotchecking.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlbotchecking.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlbotchecking.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlbotchecking.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlbotchecking.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 19:30:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] amlbotchecking.com — AMLBot Brand Impersonation Phishing Report Analysis of the domain amlbotchecking.com indicates a high-risk phishing infrastructure targeting AMLBot, a cryptocurrency compliance service. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Hello Internet Corp and has since been flagged by multiple security vendors. As of July 23, 2026, the domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.164.63, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States. The nameservers ns100.webnic.cc and ns101.webnic.cc are associated with the domain, which is consistent with patterns observed in phishing campaigns leveraging third-party DNS providers. Fifteen of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, reinforcing its classification as a threat. The domain appears on five security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, which have independently flagged it for brand impersonation and investment scam activity. AlienVault OTX also lists the domain in a threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious intent. The SSL certificate, issued by WE1, does not provide additional trust indicators, as phishing domains frequently use low-assurance certificates to mimic legitimacy. The domain is currently offline, which may indicate takedown efforts or a temporary pause in operations. However, defenders should remain cautious, as the infrastructure could be reactivated or repurposed. The impersonation of AMLBot suggests the campaign likely targeted users seeking cryptocurrency compliance or anti-money laundering verification services, potentially luring victims into fraudulent investment schemes. No specific phishing kit or page content has been confirmed in the available data, so the exact mechanics of the scam remain unanalyzed. Organizations should block this domain at the DNS and proxy levels, monitor for related infrastructure (e.g. ## 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 (operator 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/amlbotchecking.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlbotchecking.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
