## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:19:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies checkaml.online as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating the legitimate AMLBot brand. The site falsely promotes a "Sonic Airdrop" to attract users seeking Web3 rewards, potentially leading to credential theft or other scams. Such brand impersonation threatens user security and undermines trust in legitimate services.

The domain checkaml.online was registered recently on November 3, 2025, via IONOS SE and resolves to the IP address 104.21.22.147. VirusTotal flagged the domain by 4 out of 95 security vendors, and it currently appears on one security blocklist. Fortunately, the site is now offline, reducing immediate risk, but the infrastructure details suggest attempts to exploit user interest in blockchain-related incentives.

Users should avoid visiting checkaml.online and never provide personal or login information on suspicious websites claiming to be AMLBot. Always verify URLs carefully and rely on official channels for airdrops or promotions. If you have interacted with this domain, consider scanning your devices for malware and changing any compromised credentials promptly.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       2c16322bca58339c4494082f31c83784dff5acb7b52bb4b22241e0ff2dda8f43
TLS cert SHA-256:      caa4dc3d3887265a5ee7a47a0968b04d762e671153d0d6d9426add6d385d43d4

## 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.
