# PhishDestroy threat dossier — checker-amlbot.pro ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 02:57:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/checker-amlbot.pro/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: AMLBot ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 159.100.18.109 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS44066 DE-FIRSTCOLO firstcolo GmbH, DE Hosting org: AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: ["ns4lrt.name.com", "ns3ckl.name.com", "ns2qvz.name.com", "ns1crv.name.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AMLBot ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: DigiCert Inc / Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G2 Expires: 2026-06-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2f337b7bf56ce9cbc5216189f242d041f4b797427256f90ce84642ac5d8729a8 ## 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 23:24:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 09:45:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198f25e-6acd-763b-8607-ca23a1603f77/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/checker-amlbot.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.checker-amlbot.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=checker-amlbot.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/checker-amlbot.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/checker-amlbot.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:38:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified checker-amlbot.pro as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting AMLBot. The domain attempts to mimic AMLBot's identity, potentially misleading users into believing it is an official service. While the risk level is assessed as low, this domain still poses a threat to user trust and security. The domain checker-amlbot.pro was registered on February 21, 2026, through Name.com, Inc. It resolves to the IP address 159.100.18.109. VirusTotal analysis shows that only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. The low detection rate suggests limited current malicious activity but does not guarantee safety. Currently, checker-amlbot.pro is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, users and organizations should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or providing any personal or financial information. Monitoring similar domains and reporting suspicious activity is recommended to prevent potential future abuse. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: def00c11b1596db4efee6a9fbe64fc27 TLS cert SHA-256: 2f337b7bf56ce9cbc5216189f242d041f4b797427256f90ce84642ac5d8729a8 ## 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/checker-amlbot.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=checker-amlbot.pro 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.
