## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 03:35:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

amlshield.site is identified as a high-risk domain associated with fake login attempts. This specific threat type involves tricking users into disclosing sensitive credentials, posing a considerable risk to potential victims in the cryptocurrency space.

The domain amlshield.site is currently active and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Analysis from VirusTotal has revealed that only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, indicating a low detection rate by conventional security measures. The domain is registered with Google Trust Services, further complicating its risk profile. As of the current assessment, there is no indication that the domain is on any recognized blocklists, and the SSL certificate is active, further legitimizing the deceptive nature of the site. The presence of an SSL certificate is often exploited by phishing actors to gain user trust.

To mitigate risks associated with fake login pages such as amlshield.site, users should employ strong domain awareness and scrutiny before entering any sensitive information. It’s advisable to verify URLs thoroughly before inputting credentials and to utilize multi-factor authentication on sensitive accounts. Deploying robust anti-phishing tools and continuously educating users about the tactics used in such schemes can further enhance protection against these types of threats. Engaging with security services for website monitoring and alerting can also be beneficial in identifying and responding to such domains before they can successfully compromise user data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       828ea2b50b186ad3ad27539f94ab5a79
TLS cert SHA-256:      d01d412ec6accedc34ec900fee27873495a01f9925b1441f585dd0951117adff

## 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.
