## 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: 2025-11-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-29 02:59:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-29 06:17:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 03:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

amlwatcher.icu is currently under investigation for involvement in credential theft schemes. Analysis suggests this domain may be used to collect sensitive user information through deceptive login pages or impersonation of legitimate brands. The domain’s infrastructure and recent registration timing are consistent with tactics commonly employed in credential harvesting campaigns.

Technical evidence highlights several data points: amlwatcher.icu was registered on November 14, 2025, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc. The domain is presently active and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. Despite the suspicious indicators, at this time, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 scanners on VirusTotal (0/95). There are currently no entries for this domain on major public blocklists. These factors suggest the threat may be novel or the infrastructure freshly deployed, and thus it remains undetected by automated threat intelligence systems.

Users who have visited amlwatcher.icu should assume potential compromise if any personal, financial, or login data was submitted. Immediate actions should include changing associated passwords, monitoring for unauthorized account activity, and enabling multifactor authentication where possible. Security teams are advised to block this domain at the network level and closely monitor for related indicators of compromise. Regular threat monitoring is recommended, as risk status may change if new intelligence emerges.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cf22b1ff9089caf6803645cb5deaaf32
TLS cert SHA-256:      ded2d816245221c38426527c075b3c00328801f226b4f44bce8bbc827ade17a0

## 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.
