Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: crystal.ns.cloudflare.com, rocky.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-02 Expires: 2027-04-02 Page title: Fortbys: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2da4486731cbccdefb2c90d6f78291b299b1e4c086dd4041a00bac8f5c865f1 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 19:15:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 18:45:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:47:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:16:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed693-9412-767b-88f1-3e2963697192/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8ab62b24-ca21-400c-bb42-62eecb1613aa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fortbys.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fortbys.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fortbys.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fortbys.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fortbys.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:58:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, fortbys.top, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of the Base blockchain platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate Base services by presenting itself as an online crypto casino, using the page title 'Fortbys: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' The intent appears to be fraudulent, likely aiming to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses, such as fake gambling platforms or wallet-draining schemes. Given the domain's focus on blockchain and crypto assets, financial loss through unauthorized transactions or credential theft is a primary concern for visitors. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this domain. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging fortbys.top as malicious, while it appears on 1 security blocklist. The domain was registered on April 02, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), a network commonly used to obfuscate malicious infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number E7), which, while legitimate, is often exploited by threat actors to lend false credibility to phishing sites. Users who have visited fortbys.top should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If any cryptocurrency transactions were initiated or wallet credentials were entered, assume compromise and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized activity, including connected decentralized applications (dApps) or exchange platforms. Reset passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all crypto-related accounts. Additionally, scan the device used to access the domain for malware, as brand impersonation sites often deploy malicious payloads. Report the domain to relevant blockchain security platforms and consider notifying the legitimate Base team to aid in broader threat mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-CA2F36 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: c2da4486731cbccdefb2c90d6f78291b299b1e4c086dd4041a00bac8f5c865f1 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fortbys.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortbys.top 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
