# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlcheck-secure.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 00:50:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlcheck-secure.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 151.101.1.140 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS54113 FASTLY, US Hosting org: AS54113 Fastly, Inc. Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Nameservers: ["adi.ns.cloudflare.com", "devin.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Reddit - The heart of the internet HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ebf2dc7d11f5b36245697b14ed03c722c0dfd245e37876f4564ddd79ae553556 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 09:45:52 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 20:19:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01991b61-51fa-733b-ad70-f2b600e54ddb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlcheck-secure.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlcheck-secure.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlcheck-secure.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlcheck-secure.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlcheck-secure.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:34:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies amlcheck-secure.com as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting the AML Scam brand. While its risk level is considered low and the domain is currently offline, it was flagged on multiple security blocklists and detected by one security vendor, indicating potential malicious intent. This phishing attempt leveraged a misleading page title "Reddit - The heart of the internet" to appear legitimate while impersonating AML Scam. The domain was registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION and resolved to an IP address associated with the campaign. Such tactics aim to trick users into providing sensitive information or credentials under false pretenses. If you visited amlcheck-secure.com, it is advisable to avoid entering any personal or financial information and scan your devices for malware. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider changing passwords related to services that could be affected. Staying informed and cautious helps mitigate risks from offline but previously active phishing domains like this one. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ebf2dc7d11f5b36245697b14ed03c722c0dfd245e37876f4564ddd79ae553556 ## 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-secure.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcheck-secure.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
