Anti-Money Laundering Service AMLBot Cleans House
Summary: AMLBot, a service that helps businesses avoid transacting with sanctioned cryptocurrency wallets, said a KrebsOnSecurity investigation published in August 2021 helped it shut down three dark web services that were secretly reselling its API access to cybercrooks. After the story on Antinalysis went live, AMLBot cut off that service's access within hours, audited its entire client base, restricted API access to signed and fully audited clients, and instituted 24/7 monitoring of all client transactions, which surfaced two more reselling services.
Bottom line: Antinalysis[.]org and its Tor-based domain remain online and accepting requests, and it is unclear how they are sourcing their information - so the tool built to flag dirty funds is still being repurposed against the systems it was meant to enforce.
