## 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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-01 15:40:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-01 12:42:42 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-05-20 12:49:39 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-12 02:44:19 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-01 15:42:30 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.run as an active brand impersonation site targeting crypto users. This scam domain pretends to offer a free AML score checker for crypto wallets but is designed to harvest wallet data and likely steal funds. The page title is 'AMLCheck.run — Free Crypto Wallet AML Score Checker', which closely mimics legitimate AML compliance tools to deceive security-conscious users seeking to verify their wallet’s risk status.  

This domain was flagged with high confidence based on direct threat analysis. It was registered on February 09, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3. Notably, despite this being a confirmed impersonation of AML Scam services, VirusTotal currently reports zero detections out of 95 security engines—indicating it remains undetected by mainstream antivirus tools as of investigation time. This underscores the need for manual verification and proactive threat intelligence monitoring.  

If you visited amlcheck.run or connected a wallet to this site: immediately revoke any connected permissions via your wallet’s official interface (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet), transfer any remaining funds to a new wallet, and scan your device with updated antivirus software. Never input private keys, seed phrases, or connect wallets to third-party websites. Report the domain to your wallet provider and relevant cybercrime units. Stay vigilant—legitimate AML tools are issued by regulated compliance platforms with verified domain reputations.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260501-3B2E84
Favicon MD5:       679987390d95a8ec0d59595b8186715a
TLS cert SHA-256:      0fe5a380ac4ba6a23456da81096f4f1b90d8ca8ce611fb9cc78211d5e51ccad2

## 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.
