# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlprotection.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 14:09:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlprotection.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Seclookup Public blocklists: listed on 6 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.14.171 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Registered: 2025-03-03 Expires: 2026-03-03 Page title: Trust AML HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 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: 2025-03-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:41:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:24:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198f128-b1d6-7210-b045-d840e07a7d9e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlprotection.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlprotection.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlprotection.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlprotection.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlprotection.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:34:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies amlprotection.com as a phishing domain currently active and appearing on multiple security blocklists. Despite a relatively low risk level, this site poses a threat by attempting to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information under the guise of AML (Anti-Money Laundering) protection services. Users should treat this domain with caution as phishing scams can lead to identity theft and financial loss. This phishing operation likely works by presenting a seemingly trustworthy page titled "Trust AML" to lure visitors into providing confidential data such as login credentials or financial details. By mimicking legitimate AML services, amlprotection.com attempts to gain user trust and harvest sensitive information. The domain resolves to an IP address known for suspicious activity and has been flagged by at least one security vendor, reinforcing concerns about its intent. If you have visited amlprotection.com, it is advisable to avoid entering any personal or financial information. Users who suspect they may have shared sensitive data should immediately change passwords associated with the compromised accounts and monitor their financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Employing updated antivirus software and reporting the site to security platforms can further mitigate risks. Staying informed about phishing tactics is essential to avoid falling victim to evolving scams 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlprotection.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlprotection.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.
