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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 01:20:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 23:28:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 16:45:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 06:17:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1088-401b-719c-80b7-2a3e8bd2337a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cdb40129-3d01-42cd-a70f-e9e0b3dc0aa6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlcleaner.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlcleaner.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlcleaner.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlcleaner.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlcleaner.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 01:24:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain amlcleaner.com is actively engaged in a high-risk phishing campaign specifically designed to impersonate cryptocurrency wallet verification processes. This domain functions as a crypto wallet drainer, a threat type that deceives users into entering sensitive credentials or private keys, enabling attackers to siphon digital assets from compromised wallets. As of the latest analysis, the domain remains operational and continues to pose a significant risk to individuals interacting with cryptocurrency platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals that amlcleaner.com was registered on June 14, 2026, through the registrar CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Detection metrics indicate that 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain as malicious. The page title, 'Crypto Wallet Verification,' explicitly aligns with the phishing tactic of mimicking legitimate wallet security checks, further corroborating its fraudulent intent. Current monitoring confirms that amlcleaner.com remains active and unblocked by a majority of security platforms, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify the authenticity of any cryptocurrency-related communications through official channels. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP address, while individuals should enable multi-factor authentication and employ hardware wallets for enhanced security. Proactive monitoring of similar domains registered under the same registrar may also mitigate future risks associated with this threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-60E0FA Favicon MD5: 854845c9dc489b715a93d6718e1d65a8 TLS cert SHA-256: 2483a70e6e20a269208417fbc1c7b056f01b7aa7eaa4c23b2b2839210e6439e8 ## 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/amlcleaner.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlcleaner.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.
