## 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: 2026-05-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-21 08:22:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 12:20:34 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:26:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Cryptoaml.ai poses as a legitimate service for conducting AML checks on cryptocurrency wallets, but it is actually a scam operation. The domain, registered through Cloudflare, Inc., is hosted on an IP in the United States and was first detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-21. Despite being taken down, the site was flagged by 2 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature.

The website's title, 'CryptoAML.ai — AML Check Any Crypto Wallet in Seconds,' suggests a quick and efficient service, which is a common lure used in scams to attract unsuspecting users. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend it an air of legitimacy, but this should not be mistaken for authenticity. The platform risk score of 56/100 highlights a moderate level of threat, emphasizing the need for caution when dealing with similar domains.

Phishing domains like cryptoaml.ai often exploit the gap between their registration and the time it takes for antivirus databases to update, usually 24-72 hours. PhishDestroy's detection pipeline operates upstream of these vendors, capturing threats during this critical window. The presence of this domain on a public blocklist further underscores its fraudulent intent. While the site is now offline, its brief existence serves as a reminder of the persistent and evolving nature of phishing threats in the cryptocurrency space.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6c52fe3bb6d2af923d9099ed04f899e7
TLS cert SHA-256:      840b2ab2407432f56fc40e2654bdf2be7135f032b4acd555a27b62273bcf6a40

## 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.
