# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlcheck-bot.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 21:18:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlcheck-bot.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 193.187.110.3 (FI, Helsinki) ASN: ASAS153947 FASTZONEIT-AS-AP - FAST ZONE IT, BD Hosting org: AS153947 FAST ZONE IT Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["a.dnspod.com", "b.dnspod.com", "c.dnspod.com"] Page title: Loading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3a545105945aaa4389c1abd26db3ffdddea3ba8a35588d5de027a79c35534e1e ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-29 01:07:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 23:10:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 23:15:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 06:17:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f107c-53e9-7289-8fac-1d7073027f1d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2890f19a-d90c-46b0-bacf-a6a05bfb3073 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlcheck-bot.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlcheck-bot.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlcheck-bot.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlcheck-bot.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlcheck-bot.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 01:15:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, amlcheck-bot.online, is flagged as an active phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate automated anti-money laundering (AML) fraud detection systems. Threat actors use this domain to deceive financial sector employees, compliance officers, or end-users into interacting with fraudulent bots that mimic legitimate AML monitoring tools. The objective is to harvest credentials, financial data, or install malware under the guise of compliance verification or fraud alerts. Given the domain’s branding and technical presentation, it poses a high risk to organizations subject to AML regulations, including banks, payment processors, and cryptocurrency platforms. Analysis indicates this domain resolves to the IP address 193.187.110.3 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to create a false sense of legitimacy. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal has flagged the domain, suggesting it remains under-detected and actively evades automated defenses. The registrar and hosting provider details are consistent with infrastructure commonly used in short-lived phishing campaigns, where domains are rapidly deployed and discarded. The low detection rate, combined with the targeted nature of the impersonation, increases the likelihood of successful compromise against unsuspecting users. If a user has visited amlcheck-bot.online or interacted with content from this domain, immediate action is required. Disconnect the affected device from the network to prevent potential lateral movement or data exfiltration. Reset all credentials entered on the site, particularly those associated with financial systems, compliance portals, or corporate accounts. Scan the device using updated endpoint protection tools to detect any installed malware or backdoors. Organizations should review logs for connections to 193.187.110.3 and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Report the incident to internal security teams and relevant regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with breach notification requirements. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-5E461D Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 3a545105945aaa4389c1abd26db3ffdddea3ba8a35588d5de027a79c35534e1e ## 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/amlcheck-bot.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcheck-bot.online 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.
