Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies amlcheckton.com as a high-risk domain used for brand impersonation targeting AML Scam victims. The domain aimed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate AML services to harvest sensitive data. The domain amlcheckton.com resolved to IP 104.21.96.1 and was registered on March 28, 2025 via PDR Ltd. It appeared on four security blocklists and was flagged in one AlienVault OTX intelligence pulse, confirming its malicious intent. VirusTotal identified 15 out of 95 vendors as detecting threats related to this domain. Currently, amlcheckton.com is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain and verify legitimacy through official AML channels. Continued monitoring and blocking of similar impersonation domains are recommended to mitigate future threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1b4d5af9840822693aec6cc17f25dabdea393a850a1d0115e0b301abb840c845 ## 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/amlcheckton.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcheckton.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.
