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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-12 19:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:36:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 00:20:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-13 06:29:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/71428ea0-9f5b-426b-8e8e-eef9ab8db718 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fnshop.vu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fnshop.vu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fnshop.vu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fnshop.vu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fnshop.vu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 14:20:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is fnshop.vu a Fake Epic Games Fortnite Inventory Checker? The domain fnshop.vu is identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Epic Games, the publisher of Fortnite. Analysis confirms the site masquerades as a Fortnite Inventory Checker under the page title 'Fortnite Inventory Checker | Epic Games.' Currently, the domain is offline, but prior activity indicates malicious intent to deceive users into disclosing credentials or installing unauthorized software. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was created on May 12, 2026, and is flagged by 13 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and fraudulent activity. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, geolocated to Canada and associated with CloudFlare, Inc. The domain appears on one security blocklist and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (serial number prefix E7). The registrar details remain undisclosed, but the combination of rapid detection by security vendors and the use of a content delivery network proxy suggests deliberate obfuscation of the true hosting origin. Given the elevated risk level and confirmed brand impersonation, users and organizations are advised to treat fnshop.vu as malicious. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and IP at the network perimeter, revoking any credentials potentially exposed through interaction with the site, and monitoring for secondary infections. Security teams should correlate this domain with other Epic Games-themed threats and update detection rules to include the observed indicators of compromise. The offline status does not eliminate risk, as the domain may resurface under altered infrastructure or related domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 66810d1d85863d181852b882407a07c76f0baf0aa314b463f6c7cbade68c78c9 ## 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 (operator 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fnshop.vu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fnshop.vu Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
