Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain amlexplore.com has been identified as a high-risk phishing site, actively involved in generic phishing activities. Although the specific brand or type of phishing (e.g., crypto drainer, fake login) has not been explicitly detailed, the site's classification as a phishing domain suggests malicious intent to deceive users, potentially through fake login pages or brand impersonation. Technical analysis of amlexplore.com reveals several concerning indicators. The domain is listed on one security blocklist, specifically blocked by ScamSniffer, indicating recognition by threat intelligence services. VirusTotal reports that 12 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain was registered through NAMECHEAP INC and resolves to the IP address 172.67.184.188. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly used in both legitimate and malicious sites due to its free access. Notably, the domain creation date is reported as April 20, 2026, which suggests an error in the data, as this date is in the future. This anomaly might indicate tampering or misconfiguration in the domain registration process. Currently, amlexplore.com remains active and poses a significant threat due to its high-risk classification. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain and to ensure that their security solutions are updated to block access. Security teams should monitor network traffic for any attempts to connect to this IP address and scrutinize any associated communications for phishing attempts. The domain's presence on a security blocklist underscores the importance of implementing robust security measures to mitigate risks associated with phishing activities. Further investigation and monitoring are recommended to prevent potential exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-BD17D6 Favicon MD5: 476eed806d70bf9f1bfdecf4baf2e309 TLS cert SHA-256: fac4ab70d0edb54dc4015475bfffbcbba94a8f439e2d4aaaf47537706c0c61a5 ## 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/amlexplore.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlexplore.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.
