## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:41:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified epicgamesfortnite.info as an active phishing domain targeting users of the popular game Fortnite. The site attempts to lure victims by impersonating Epic Games-related services, potentially aiming to harvest login credentials or personal information. While the risk level is assessed as low, users should remain cautious given the domain’s intent to deceive.

The domain epicgamesfortnite.info was registered recently on February 28, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited (WebNic.cc). It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. According to VirusTotal, only 1 out of 95 security vendors currently flags this domain, indicating it is not yet widely detected or blacklisted but still suspicious. The page title “Just a moment...” suggests the site may use redirection or loading tactics common in phishing attempts.

This domain remains active, and users should avoid interacting with it or submitting any personal or login information. PhishDestroy recommends that affected users verify URLs carefully before entering credentials and use multi-factor authentication where possible. Security teams should monitor this domain for changes in activity or detection rates and consider blocking access within organizational networks to mitigate potential risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260321-0D7C65

## 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.
