## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.215.4.19
Registered:      2026-06-11
Page title:      Tools for analyzing blockchain transactions and investigating crypto incidents

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R12
Expires:    2026-06-28

Fingerprint: 7b400e1c793970c114e398511e7cc25b62808f488e6da4475f0e45eb0b3885f5

## 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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 06:26:06 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-22 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 18:21:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 11:46:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies amlcrypto.io as a high-risk domain due to its involvement in generic_phishing, specifically as a crypto drainer. 
   
This domain was flagged with 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal warning of its malicious nature, indicating a significant threat to users. Given the current status of the domain as active, users are advised to exercise extreme caution. 

To mitigate the risks associated with amlcrypto.io, users should avoid interacting with the domain, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency transactions. Verifying the authenticity of websites on PhishDestroy and being cautious of generic_phishing attempts can help prevent financial losses and protect sensitive information.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5b2003f0b3461354ec1757fe7c5adc31
TLS cert SHA-256:      7b400e1c793970c114e398511e7cc25b62808f488e6da4475f0e45eb0b3885f5

## 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.
