Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: AMLBot

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, G-Data
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      63.176.8.218 (DE, Frankfurt am Main)
ASN:             ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US

Issuer:     E6
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 23:22:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:41:20 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-17 00:04:10 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:50:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies amlweb3.ink as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting AMLBot, a crypto compliance and risk management service. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and was used to mimic AMLBot’s branding to deceive users potentially.

Technical analysis shows amlweb3.ink resolved to IP address 63.176.8.218 and appeared on two security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged the domain by 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but notable detection. The page title found was "AMLBot - Crypto Compliance & Risk Management," reinforcing the impersonation attempt.

Currently, amlweb3.ink is offline and no longer accessible. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant for similar phishing campaigns impersonating trusted brands. Users should avoid interacting with suspicious links and verify official AMLBot communications through known legitimate channels.

## 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.
