## 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: 2026-03-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-12 15:44:34 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-05-13 01:40:03 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-13 00:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-12 18:44:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortch.info as an active crypto drainer posing as a trusted service. This domain preys on cryptocurrency users by simulating login portals or transaction interfaces to siphon digital assets. Security teams assess this site as high-risk due to its deceptive design and operational timeline.  Evidence supporting this assessment includes VirusTotal detections from 14 of 95 security vendors, alongside registrant details through Global Domain Group LLC. The domain, created on March 25, 2026, resolves to IP address 104.21.28.124 under a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. These factors indicate a recently deployed infrastructure likely leveraging free certificates to appear legitimate while evading early detection.  Users who visited fortch.info should immediately cease any interaction and revoke permissions for connected wallets or applications. Scan devices for malware using trusted antivirus tools, and monitor blockchain transactions for unauthorized transfers. Report suspicious activity to PhishDestroy or relevant cybersecurity authorities to prevent further exploitation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260512-95C9F5
TLS cert SHA-256:      c9aaf712a4eb7b8d3f2a47873f9033dd239cbbfe32268daf1b77e343eac17cca

## 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.
