================================================================

Fetched:   2026-04-22 16:48:55 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlnode.live/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: Binance

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/93 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      147.45.198.58 (DE, Frankfurt am Main)
ASN:             ASAS212701 HOSTINUX-AS Hostinux Limited, GB
Hosting org:     AS212701 Hostinux Limited
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      Binance Cahback

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R12
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:23:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:40:27 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-04 23:52:59 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:07:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy classifies amlnode.live as an under investigation brand impersonation threat targeting Binance. The domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking Binance's branding, potentially to harvest credentials or mislead victims with fraudulent cashback offers.

Evidence supporting this assessment includes the domain's use of the page title "Binance Cahback" and its resolution to IP 147.45.198.58. Despite appearing on one security blocklist, VirusTotal scans have yet to flag the domain, showing zero detections from 95 security vendors, which may indicate a newly emerging threat or low detection visibility. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, suggesting recent creation tailored for this purpose.

Currently, amlnode.live is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid interacting with suspicious Binance-related URLs, and verify web addresses carefully. Organizations should monitor for similar domains and maintain updated threat intelligence to counteract brand impersonation campaigns like this one.

## 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.
