Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Nameservers: HOLD1.LUXHOST.ORG, HOLD2.LUXHOST.ORG Registered: 2025-08-14 Expires: 2026-08-14 Page title: AML Crypto Checker ## 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: 2025-08-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-20 23:10:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 20:21:51 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:06:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198bc94-3d79-7173-b0cb-16392a8da959/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlcheckingbot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlcheckingbot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlcheckingbot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlcheckingbot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlcheckingbot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 23:45:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] amlcheckingbot.com Safety Check — Crypto Drainer Detected On July 24, 2026, the domain amlcheckingbot.com was observed as a high‑risk crypto drainer targeting Binance users. The site was registered on August 14, 2025 through MAT BAO CORPORATION and uses the nameservers HOLD1.LUXHOST.ORG and HOLD2.LUXHOST.ORG. DNS resolution points to 188.114.97.3, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (ASN 13335) and geolocated to the United States. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating the service was delivered over plain HTTP. The page title returned by the web server is “AML Crypto Checker”, matching the reported scam type of wallet/seed phishing. Infrastructure analysis links the operation to the Angel Drainer kit, a known cryptocurrency‑draining framework. The domain received a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and appears on a single security blocklist. VirusTotal scans show that seven of ninety‑five antiviruses flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment. PhishDestroy has taken the site offline, and the current status is reported as offline. Evidence confirms that the domain impersonates Binance, likely to lure victims into submitting wallet private keys or seed phrases. While the exact content of the landing page has not been captured, the combination of a brand‑targeted title, a zero trust score, and multiple vendor detections provides strong indication of credential‑stealing intent. Defenders should continue to block amlcheckingbot.com at DNS and proxy layers, monitor for any re‑hosting of the same IP address, and update endpoint detection rules to flag the Angel Drainer indicators. Users should be warned not to enter any cryptocurrency credentials on sites offering “AML” checks without verified provenance. ## 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/amlcheckingbot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcheckingbot.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
