## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)

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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:25:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies amlbotchecking.digital as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, posing a low-level risk to users. The domain was flagged due to suspicious behavior that could facilitate credential theft or fraudulent schemes. While the risk is considered low, users should remain vigilant when encountering this domain or similar suspicious URLs.

The domain amlbotchecking.digital resolves to the IP address 198.18.2.111 and was registered through an unknown registrar. It appears on one security blocklist and has been flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The page currently displays a "522: Connection timed out" error, indicating the server is not responsive. These technical details suggest limited active infrastructure, but caution is advised due to its phishing classification.

Currently, amlbotchecking.digital is offline and not serving any active content. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interacting with this domain and report any suspicious emails or links referencing it. Organizations should update their security filters to block access and monitor for any resurgence of activity linked to this domain to maintain a secure environment.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       78a7d8b29cabf16831417dba1b9bbe36fae0d060a35a495e8f10e9663b3c9e65

## 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.
