The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: less than 1 year (registration continuity). - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Overview AMLShard is a single-purpose website presenting itself as a free anti-money-laundering checker for USDT on the TRON (TRC20) network. Its homepage title and content position it as a screening utility for crypto addresses and transactions. Its apparent purpose is to attract users who want to assess the risk of a wallet or transfer, and it is offered without charge. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk The evidence shows confirmed contradictions, so the site is treated with elevated caution. Several independent threat-intelligence engines in a multi-engine reputation scan classify the domain as malicious, with an additional engine rating it suspicious. A separate external blacklist also lists it. Together these meet the threshold for a confirmed blacklisting, not a single stray detection. No brand impersonation, phishing page or conflicting legal identity was observed, so the elevated risk rests on the reputation findings and the site's profile. That profile is a newly registered domain offering a free compliance-style tool in a sector where users are asked to submit wallet addresses and transaction details. The tool's trust-themed pitch cannot be separated from that risk. In behavioural testing the homepage loaded stably, but a high share of its network traffic went to third-party destinations. About a dozen external background requests and posts were observed, a portion of them to destinations outside the common, recognised set. Three browser console errors also occurred. The testing showed no wallet-drainer behaviour, clipboard manipulation, hidden forms or cloaking, which keeps the assessment from escalating further, but the outbound data flow is a legitimate concern for any tool that receives addresses and transaction identifiers. Abuse reports exist against the hosting address. They apply to shared provider infrastructure and carry limited weight on their own, but they add to the picture. Evidence: - Domain registered 2026-07-02 (~0.32 years, ~116 days old), with a one-year registration term to 2027-07-02. - Reputation scan: 3 engines flag the domain as malicious and 1 as suspicious; a separate external blacklist also lists it. - Homepage behavioural testing across 3 successful runs: about 50% of requests and up to 80% of activity was external, with 3 posts to non-whitelisted destinations and 3 console errors. - Hosting address 186.2.175.35 has 6 abuse reports, the latest about 5 days before analysis, attributed to shared provider infrastructure. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The material collected for the site does not tie it to any identifiable operating company, regulator or compliance credential, and the real-world operator's identity remains unverified. Domain registration details are incomplete and give no clear ownership information, which is ownership opacity, not an identity contradiction. A site presenting itself as a compliance and AML utility would ordinarily be expected to name an accountable entity and its terms of service. Here, the transparency gap sits on top of confirmed reputation contradictions, so it carries more weight than it would for an otherwise clean site. No third-party broker or regulatory-database match was found, and the absence of one is not treated as an adverse finding in its own right. Evidence: - Domain registered through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri, with incomplete owner details in the registration record. - Homepage identifies the service only as "AMLShard — Free TRC20 USDT AML Checker", with no operating entity linked to it. - TLS certificate issued by YR1 (domain-validated only, valid to 2026-12-22), which confirms control of the domain but not the organisation behind it. ### What to Verify Next Before any engagement, the operator's identity should be established independently, for example through corporate registries or published filings that name the legal entity. Any claim of AML or compliance capability should be tested against the client's own records, or against a recognised, well-established analytics provider's output. Where address screening is genuinely needed, a vetted provider should be used in place of this site. Any contact or support channel the site gives should be confirmed through an independent route before it is relied on. Security teams may also wish to watch for re-listing or delisting by the reputation sources over the coming weeks, as that would indicate whether the detections were transient. Evidence: - The domain is only about four months old, so no long operating record exists to substitute for registry checks. - The reputation detections are current as of the analysis date, with abuse reports on the hosting address recorded within the preceding week. - The homepage collects no verifiable corporate details, so the checks above must rely on external sources. ### Summary Verdict The available evidence places the website in an elevated-risk posture, with confirmed reputation contradictions and unverified operator identity that technical hygiene does not offset. Behavioural testing found no overtly malicious mechanics, but the combination of a new domain, multiple threat detections and a trust-themed offering leaves the assessment firmly cautionary. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site is served from a single address at IQWeb FZ-LLC in the United Arab Emirates (AS59692), a data-centre hosting provider. No CDN or web application firewall sits in front of it, so the origin server is directly exposed and there is no protective layer to mitigate the reputation findings. The TLS certificate is valid and chains to a recognised issuer, which provides transport encryption only. It is not evidence of legitimacy. Evidence: - Served from AS59692 (IQWEB - IQWeb FZ-LLC, AE) on RIPE-registered address space, with a single resolved IP and no edge or CDN vendors detected. - TLS: YR1-issued DV certificate, valid to 2026-12-22 (56 days remaining at analysis). ### Closing Assessment Use should be limited to read-only viewing, if the site is visited at all. Logins, credentials, wallet addresses tied to real funds and any financial interaction should be avoided until the operator's identity is independently confirmed and the reputation detections are resolved. _Written analysis generated 2026-10-27 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 4 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by external reputation, hosting and network, behaviour in a sandbox, registration and ownership. ### 01 External reputation - Several malware engines flagged this domain. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_HIGH`) ### 02 Hosting and network - The domain was registered between three and six months ago. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_YOUNG_6M`) ### 03 Behaviour in a sandbox - Most of what the page loaded came from other domains rather than from this one. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_EXTERNAL_RATIO_HIGH`) - The page sent data to a destination TrustSniffer does not recognise. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_NONWHITELISTED_POSTS`) - The page made many background requests to other domains while it was open. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_EXTERNAL_XHR_HEAVY`) ### 04 Registration and ownership - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`) ### Signals weighed against the site - AbuseIPDB: 6 reports on hosting IP 186.2.175.35 (IQWeb FZ-LLC, Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit), 11% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website. ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNKNOWN | | Identity score | 50/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 30% | - AI page analysis unavailable (page captured; identity not AI-verified) _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of amlshard.org. - The request stayed on amlshard.org.

[Review TrustSniffer on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/trustsniffer.com) A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about amlshard.org at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [rails-dex.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/rails-dex.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [tron-staking.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/tron-staking.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [sologvault.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/sologvault.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [solotx.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/solotx.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [xrpaynet.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xrpaynet.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [atfsolutions.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/atfsolutions.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [vagavault.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/vagavault.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [downtofinance.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/downtofinance.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [hurmpf.fr](https://trustsniffer.com/report/hurmpf.fr), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 6/100) - [p-edukul.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/p-edukul.org), another .org site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory), the full risk directory - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains), same verdict band - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence), run a new assessment - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk), on-chain screening - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats), how this verdict compares ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 23, 2026: 8 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-23) - [How to check if TRC20 USDT is genuine Tether](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/how-to-check-if-trc20-usdt-is-genuine-tether) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 27, 2026: 7 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-27) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/amlshard.org) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
