# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlscanning.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 16:56:53 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlscanning.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: AML Scam Targeted brand: AML Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: aiden.ns.cloudflare.com, bonnie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-29 Expires: 2027-05-29 Page title: AML Crypto Check | Wallet Risk Screening Software by AMLBot ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-08-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b05f01b12bbd75b485064f3949567a6dd083df8f7121ecc323baf765d41dab0b ## 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: 2026-05-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 03:14:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 01:18:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 18:45:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 12:16:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f10f0-1fe0-747e-90d5-3f14473f7664/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1810f46b-7251-436d-83ef-4c6a9836a991 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlscanning.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlscanning.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlscanning.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlscanning.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlscanning.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 03:35:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain amlscanning.com has been identified as a potential threat due to its involvement in brand impersonation. It specifically targets the AML Scam brand, likely aiming to deceive users and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. The domain does not appear to be associated with any known drainer kits or sophisticated malware. Infrastructure analysis reveals that amlscanning.com has a VirusTotal score of 0/95, indicating that it has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors that were queried. The domain is registered through Spaceship, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. It was created on May 29, 2026, and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain has been mentioned in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, but it is not listed in Google Safe Browsing or other major blocklists. Currently, the domain is active and under investigation. While the lack of detections from security vendors suggests a low level of immediate threat, the domain's association with brand impersonation and its relatively recent creation date raise concerns. Organizations and individuals should exercise caution when interacting with this domain and avoid providing any sensitive information. Further monitoring and analysis are recommended to assess the remaining risk and ensure that appropriate defensive measures are in place. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-9B776F Favicon MD5: 59ad873fc2762138045250aa0fb566e4 TLS cert SHA-256: b05f01b12bbd75b485064f3949567a6dd083df8f7121ecc323baf765d41dab0b ## 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/amlscanning.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlscanning.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.
