# PhishDestroy threat dossier — amlscorecheck.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 13:28:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlscorecheck.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, G-Data, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.168.141 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AMLScoreCheck - Checking cryptocurrency ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:40:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-08 05:13:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198932a-a3f1-74ea-91c4-c1260491dde9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/amlscorecheck.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.amlscorecheck.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=amlscorecheck.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/amlscorecheck.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/amlscorecheck.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:28:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified amlscorecheck.net as a medium-risk phishing domain masquerading as an AML (Anti-Money Laundering) verification service targeting cryptocurrency users. The site presents itself under the guise of 'AMLScoreCheck - Checking cryptocurrency,' aiming to deceive visitors by implying legitimacy in crypto compliance checks. Classified under generic phishing threats, it seeks to trick users into divulging sensitive information. The domain amlscorecheck.net was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.168.141. It is listed on four distinct security blocklists, underscoring its malicious intent. VirusTotal scans reveal that 3 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, indicating some detection but also potential evasion. The infrastructure suggests a typical phishing setup, leveraging a domain name that closely relates to AML compliance to exploit the growing cryptocurrency sector. As of now, amlscorecheck.net remains active and continues to pose a threat to unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with the domain and refraining from entering any personal or financial data. Security teams and end users should ensure their defenses block this domain and monitor for related phishing campaigns. Vigilance and verification are crucial to prevent falling victim to this deceptive scheme inspired by the unique seed 23191c. ## 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/amlscorecheck.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlscorecheck.net 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.
