Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance services. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate AML verification platforms, potentially tricking financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, or regulatory compliance teams into submitting sensitive data or executing fraudulent transactions. The impersonation may extend to fake audit reports, forged compliance certificates, or spoofed regulatory communications, all aimed at exploiting trust in AML processes to facilitate financial fraud or data exfiltration. Infrastructure analysis reveals several concerning indicators. The domain amlchecksafe.com was registered on May 26, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has not yet been widely blocklisted. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security engines, suggesting the domain has not been flagged by major security vendors at the time of assessment. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious domains, providing no inherent trust signal. The absence of detections does not equate to safety, as brand impersonation campaigns often evade initial scans by leveraging newly registered domains and low-reputation infrastructure. Users who have visited amlchecksafe.com or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If any credentials, financial data, or compliance-related documents were submitted, affected parties should revoke access, rotate passwords, and notify relevant security teams or regulatory bodies. Financial institutions should monitor for unauthorized transactions or unusual activity linked to accounts that may have been exposed. Additionally, security teams are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP address (188.114.96.3) at the network level to prevent further access. Given the domain's recent registration and the sophistication of AML-related scams, ongoing vigilance and proactive threat hunting are recommended to identify any secondary or follow-up attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-F003E6 ## 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/amlchecksafe.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlchecksafe.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.
