aml-checkers[.]org

The domain aml-checkers.org was registered on February 21, 2026 through Dynadot LLC and was observed hosting a page titled "AMLBot - Comprehensive Crypto Compliance Solution | Free AML Crypto Check". The site was classified as an investment‑type phishing campaign and was blocked by the PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer blocklists, appearing on two additional security blocklists. No TLS certificate was presented; the site operated over plain HTTP. DNS resolution pointed to the IPv4 address 216.126.229.16, which is allocated to AS30823 operated by aurologic GmbH in Germany.

The host name was served from Cloudflare name servers (lewis.ns.cloudflare.com and rafe.ns.cloudflare.com). A VirusTotal scan recorded detections from two of ninety‑three security vendors, indicating that some scanners identified malicious characteristics, though the majority did not flag the domain. As of the report date, July 23, 2026, the domain has been taken offline, and no further HTTP response could be retrieved. The limited public evidence leaves several aspects uncertain: the exact phishing kit or template used, any associated command‑and‑control infrastructure, and whether additional domains share the same IP or hosting provider.

Nevertheless, the combination of blocklist listings, partial VirusTotal detections, and the investment scam categorisation provide sufficient confidence to treat the domain as malicious. Defensive recommendations include adding aml-checkers.org to local and network‑wide deny lists, monitoring the associated IP address 216.126.229.16 for any future activity, and reviewing any outbound traffic that may have contacted the domain prior to its takedown. Continuous observation of the Cloudflare name servers for newly registered subdomains may also reveal related infrastructure.
