amlcheck-trustwallet[.]com

Analysis of amlcheck-trustwallet.com shows a confirmed brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Trust Wallet users. The domain was registered on July 18, 2025 through NameSilo, LLC and is currently taken offline, but historical records indicate it resolved to the IPv4 address 38.45.18.201, hosted in the Netherlands under AS174 (Cogent Communications, LLC). Both NS1.HOSTSILO.COM and NS2.HOSTSILO.COM are listed as authoritative nameservers, matching the registrar’s infrastructure.

The site presented a generic "cPanel Login" page title, offering no SSL certificate, which is consistent with a low‑trust infrastructure; Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100. PhishDestroy flagged the domain and placed it on at least one security blocklist, while Google Safe Browsing classified the URL as a social‑engineering threat. VirusTotal analysis recorded three positive detections out of ninety‑five scanners, reinforcing the malicious assessment.

The observed activity aligns with a crypto‑scam profile, where attackers typically lure victims into disclosing wallet credentials or transferring funds. Defenders should immediately add 38.45.18.201 to network blocklists, enforce DNS filtering for amlcheck‑trustwallet.com and its associated hostnames, and monitor for any newly registered domains that reuse the same registrar or nameserver pattern. Continuous re‑scanning of the IP and related domains is advised, as the infrastructure may be repurposed for future impersonation campaigns.
