Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, amlcheck-bot.net, is identified as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance systems. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate AML verification portals, potentially facilitating credential theft or fraudulent financial transactions. The domain remains operational as of the latest verification, posing a high-risk threat to financial institutions and compliance officers. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on May 27, 2024, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. It currently resolves to the IP address 193.187.110.3. VirusTotal detection metrics show 3 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating early-stage detection but growing awareness of its fraudulent nature. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores were identified in the current dataset, though the domain's recent creation and targeted impersonation suggest evolving threat tactics. The domain remains active and unmitigated, requiring immediate attention from security teams. Organizations are advised to block both the domain and its resolving IP (193.187.110.3) at the network perimeter. Financial institutions should alert compliance personnel to verify any AML-related communications originating from this domain. Continuous monitoring of associated infrastructure is recommended, as threat actors may pivot to alternative domains or IPs to maintain operational persistence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-1F9BFC Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 8bf3563add4615d9d4a7090302e2f6b44422e9eecf76b6592988823ab7343545 ## 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/amlcheck-bot.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcheck-bot.net 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.
