# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ampli-x.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 21:26:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ampli-x.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/92 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 54.116.85.132 (KR, Seoul) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (ap-northeast-2) Registrar: Gandi SAS Nameservers: ["ns-1285.awsdns-32.org", "ns-1938.awsdns-50.co.uk", "ns-627.awsdns-14.net", "ns-71.awsdns-08.com"] Registered: 2026-05-16 Page title: Amplix dApp HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 95983f0aa8571b5b0335bc626872631f80dea2fedf9ab069490fa932b70b4b21 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.ampli-x.com ## 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: 2026-05-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-16 21:22:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-16 18:23:27 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3205-899a-706e-a509-e3ddbad595da/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/33663037-9261-43f1-bd07-1ffb4cdbd48c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ampli-x.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ampli-x.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ampli-x.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ampli-x.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ampli-x.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-16 21:23:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ampli-x.com is a recently activated phishing domain designed to impersonate X (formerly Twitter), tricking users into entering their login credentials on a fake login page. This type of attack typically harvests usernames and passwords, which can then be used to hijack accounts, spread malware, or launch further social engineering campaigns. Security researchers have identified this domain as part of a broader trend where threat actors create lookalike pages mimicking popular social media platforms to exploit user trust and steal sensitive information. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis revealed multiple red flags. ampli-x.com was registered on May 14, 2026, through Gandi SAS, and currently resolves to IP address 54.116.85.132. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may give it a false sense of legitimacy, and has not yet been detected by 95 VirusTotal scanners, indicating it is actively evading detection. The domain has already been blocked by MetaMask, a browser extension designed to protect users from malicious websites, and appears on one known security blocklist, further confirming its malicious nature. If you visited ampli-x.com or entered any login details, immediately change your X (Twitter) password and enable two-factor authentication to secure your account. Scan your device with reputable antivirus software to check for malware, as phishing sites often deploy stealthy payloads. Avoid clicking on any suspicious links in emails or messages, and always verify the URL before entering credentials. Report the domain to your security team or use tools like PhishDestroy to help block similar threats and protect others from falling victim to this scam. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260516-173F4A Favicon MD5: 61897b36e3d615451cb993c99fc68f99 TLS cert SHA-256: 95983f0aa8571b5b0335bc626872631f80dea2fedf9ab069490fa932b70b4b21 ## 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/ampli-x.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ampli-x.com 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.
