Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain fortcost.com was registered on 23 March 2026 through MAT BAO CORPORATION and is currently resolving to the IPv4 address 193.187.110.3. DNS resolution is served by the authoritative name servers a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com and c.dnspod.com. VirusTotal analysis shows that 11 of 91 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, indicating that a subset of scanners have identified suspicious activity associated with the host. The domain remains active as of the report date (15 July 2026) and no further public intelligence, such as page content or targeted brand, has been disclosed. The limited data suggests a high‑risk phishing operation, but the specific payload, victim profile, and attack vector remain unknown. Defenders should block traffic to 193.187.110.3 and to fortcost.com at the network perimeter, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its name‑server patterns, and employ endpoint detection to capture any potential credential‑harvesting attempts. Continuous re‑evaluation of VirusTotal and other threat‑intel feeds is recommended to capture any emerging indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260715-5E65F1 TLS cert SHA-256: 94e43f4fbdfec56ea836964ab9f7d6800c86d3954303d0173d1769fe6f959fcc ## 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/fortcost.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortcost.com 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.
