Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, amlstart.world, is flagged as a crypto drainer operation designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims by impersonating Allbridge, a legitimate cross-chain bridge service. The site presents itself as an airdrop portal for Wrapped ETH (Allbridge from Ethereum), a tactic commonly used to exploit users seeking free token distributions. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is tailored to deceive cryptocurrency holders into connecting wallets, where malicious smart contracts or scripts drain funds upon interaction. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on August 24, 2025, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.88.240, which is part of a cloud hosting provider’s network, a common choice for threat actors due to its anonymity and scalability. As of the latest scan, 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain as malicious, though it remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing. No additional blocklist data is currently available, but the domain’s recent creation and low detection rate suggest it may still be evading broader scrutiny. The domain remains active and continues to host the fraudulent airdrop page. Users who interact with the site risk immediate financial loss through wallet-draining scripts embedded in the frontend. Response actions should include blocking the domain at the DNS level, alerting affected communities (particularly Allbridge users), and monitoring for related infrastructure. Despite its current low detection rate, the domain’s targeted impersonation of a trusted crypto service and its operational status pose a high risk to unsuspecting victims. Users are advised to verify airdrop legitimacy through official channels and avoid connecting wallets to unverified platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-4F09B3 Favicon MD5: f96d955389643d495dc9988c45c14b63 TLS cert SHA-256: 580e835dff4a62f43d6532b00a9b166cbaed8b726cba6ca3a9046ada55c91a84 ## 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/amlstart.world/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlstart.world 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.
