Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: fred.ns.cloudflare.com, leah.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-15 Page title: GoldXchange — Trade Gold Price Movements with Precision HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 99f7df9ff630956718097d8b74e776da6dfc74c70291dd1ce9e50d920f196df4 ## 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: 2026-04-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-15 09:04:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 03:11:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8fbb-ca5a-71ba-8811-86c720d3a903/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web3-amlbot.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web3-amlbot.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web3-amlbot.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web3-amlbot.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web3-amlbot.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-15 09:04:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies web3-amlbot.xyz as an active crypto drainer scam operating under the guise of a Web3 AML compliance tool. This domain specifically targets cryptocurrency users by masquerading as a legitimate verification service, luring victims into connecting their wallets to drain funds via malicious smart contract interactions. The threat actor leverages time-sensitive language (e.g., 'urgent compliance check') and spoofed branding to manipulate users into granting permissions to malicious dApps. Technical analysis reveals this domain resolves to IP 104.21.56.147 and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate, enhancing its ability to bypass browser warnings. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but concerning detection coverage. Registered through Dynadot LLC on February 08, 2026, the domain’s recent creation and low blocklist count suggest it is part of an emerging campaign. The combination of a newly registered domain, reliance on a trusted SSL provider, and minimal detections highlights the sophistication of this operation in evading traditional security measures. Users interacting with this domain risk irreversible cryptocurrency losses due to unauthorized wallet access. If you visited web3-amlbot.xyz, immediately revoke any wallet permissions granted to the domain through your wallet’s connection settings (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect). Disconnect the site and clear browser cache/cookies to remove stored session data. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and block it via firewall or hosts file. For further protection, enable hardware wallet signing for transactions and use tools like Etherscan or DeBank to monitor suspicious activity. Stay vigilant against unsolicited Web3 compliance requests, as legitimate services never require urgent wallet connections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a2bd7298aea9971e039fc01c3a944f0d TLS cert SHA-256: 99f7df9ff630956718097d8b74e776da6dfc74c70291dd1ce9e50d920f196df4 ## 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/web3-amlbot.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3-amlbot.xyz 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.
