## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: AML Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/95 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      142.250.185.206 (US, Mountain View)
ASN:             ASAS15169 GOOGLE, US
Hosting org:     AS15169 Google LLC
Registrar:       PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      YouTube

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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 23:24:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 08:44:17 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-04 23:45:22 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: 2026-03-24 01:07:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified amlcheck.support as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting AML Scam. Though currently offline, the domain posed potential phishing threats by mimicking AML Scam to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. These attacks are significant as they exploit trusted brand names to facilitate fraud and financial loss.

The amlcheck.support domain was newly created on February 21, 2026, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolved to IP address 142.250.185.206 and carried a page title referencing YouTube, suggesting possible redirection or layered deception tactics. Despite being indexed on one security blocklist, the domain has not yet been flagged by any major security vendors on VirusTotal, showing zero detections across 95 engines.

Users are advised to remain vigilant against unsolicited communications or links referring to amlcheck.support or related AML Scam impersonations. Since the domain is now offline, immediate risk is reduced, but phishing campaigns often shift rapidly. Always verify the authenticity of any AML-related requests via official channels, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and utilize updated security software to detect evolving phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-1769244255-amlcheck.suppor

## 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.
