Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies amlverif.shop as an active generic phishing domain with a high likelihood of hosting a cryptocurrency drainer kit. The domain leverages the generic nature of 'AML verification' to lure victims into connecting their wallets, where the drainer would silently siphon assets. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the domain’s naming suggests a focus on anti-money laundering compliance—a tactic often abused by threat actors to exploit users seeking to validate transactions or accounts. The infrastructure (IP 188.114.97.3, Let’s Encrypt SSL) and lack of immediate detection (0/95 VirusTotal) indicate a recently deployed or stealthily operated campaign. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the following technical indicators: VirusTotal score of 0/95 detections, hosted on IP 188.114.97.3, secured via Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, and registered under an unknown registrar (details obscured). The creation date remains unverified due to privacy protections, but the domain’s activity status is marked as 'active' with no presence on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklists. The absence of detections suggests either a novel campaign or evasive tactics to bypass traditional security tools. The domain’s infrastructure lacks redundancy, relying on a single IP with no documented history, further lowering its detection footprint. As of the latest analysis, amlverif.shop remains active and unblocked by major security platforms, posing a moderate-to-high risk to users engaging with cryptocurrency services. Immediate action includes avoiding any interaction with the domain, verifying its status on PhishDestroy, and reporting the domain to relevant authorities (e.g., PhishReport, Chainalysis). While the current risk is elevated due to its active status and low detection rate, the lack of confirmed drainer artifacts or brand impersonation limits the threat’s scalability. Users are advised to cross-check suspicious domains against PhishDestroy’s database before proceeding with wallet connections or financial transactions. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-04-26 - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: e67808aea96f6e0f78ac54e076da4034f13ba5f54a5de7ec5727d37fa2858e0c ## 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/amlverif.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlverif.shop 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.
