Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["donna.ns.cloudflare.com", "karl.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AMLCheckTest & AMLCheck 2: Web3 Compliance Solutions Now ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9dc05acf0f5fbb4e708760b44d06a1c5aaff4f439ebe3d68ef08def5f257747d ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED AND IGNORED — PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com did not act on these notifications. Domain was flagged dead on 2026-03-16 03:13:24 UTC but a fresh report was filed on 2026-03-22 16:35:55 UTC — it is back or never truly suspended. Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-03-22 16:35:55 UTC Days since first notice: 30 — no registrar action, domain remains online Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlprotection.online/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-20 20:37:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:27:59 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 03:13:24 UTC (SUPERSEDED — fresh report filed after this date, see ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY) Current status: ACTIVE (flagged dead but resurrected — registrar did not act on fresh reports) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c7c1e-de4d-74da-aef1-5d2e5c62ea71/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlprotection.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlprotection.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlprotection.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlprotection.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlprotection.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:17:58 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.online as a medium-risk domain involved in brand impersonation targeting the AML Scam brand. The website used misleading page titles such as "AMLCheckTest & AMLCheck 2: Web3 Compliance Solutions Now" to lure users under the guise of compliance services, posing potential risks of fraud or data theft. This domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. It earned a low trust score from both Gridinsoft (0/100) and Scamadviser (29/100). VirusTotal flagged the site with 4 out of 95 security vendor detections, and it appears on one security blocklist, indicating suspicious activity. Currently, amlprotection.online is offline, mitigating immediate threat exposure. Users are advised to remain cautious with any communications referencing this domain and to verify AML-related services through official and trusted sources. Organizations should continue monitoring for similar impersonation attempts and update their security filters accordingly. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1774186552-amlprotection.o Favicon MD5: 854845c9dc489b715a93d6718e1d65a8 TLS cert SHA-256: 9dc05acf0f5fbb4e708760b44d06a1c5aaff4f439ebe3d68ef08def5f257747d ## 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.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlprotection.online 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.
