Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlbotguard.cfd/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, ESET, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:17:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies amlbotguard.cfd as a domain impersonating the AMLBot brand, posing a medium risk to users. The site was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and remains active. It has been flagged on 2 security blocklists and detected by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating suspicious activity but not yet widespread recognition as malicious.

This phishing attempt exploits brand impersonation by mimicking AMLBot to deceive visitors into trusting the site. Users may be tricked into entering credentials, personal data, or financial information, believing they are interacting with the legitimate AMLBot service. Such tactics can lead to identity theft, unauthorized access, or financial loss.

If you have visited amlbotguard.cfd, it is advisable to avoid providing any personal or financial details. Run a comprehensive antivirus and malware scan on your devices, and consider changing passwords for accounts related to AMLBot or any credentials you might have entered. Monitoring your financial accounts for suspicious activity is also recommended. Staying vigilant and verifying website authenticity before sharing sensitive data is crucial to protect yourself from these targeted brand impersonation threats.

## 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.
