## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 13:32:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-28 23:17:38 UTC
Current status:    ACTIVE / observable

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:48:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, fortex.life, poses a significant threat as it is actively engaged in generic phishing activities. The site is designed to trick users into providing sensitive information, such as login credentials and personal data, by masquerading as a legitimate Fortnite-related service. If accessed, this site can lead to account compromise, financial loss, and potential identity theft.

Analysis indicates that fortex.life has been flagged by 20 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a high level of suspicion among cybersecurity professionals. The domain was registered through PublicDomainRegistry and created on June 08, 2026, which is a relatively recent date, often indicative of a newly launched phishing campaign. Additionally, the site resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is listed in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further confirming its malicious nature. The use of technologies like Tailwind CSS, Mautic, and Cloudflare Browser Insights suggests a sophisticated setup aimed at enhancing the site's credibility and tracking user interactions.

If a user has visited fortex.life, it is crucial to take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, change any passwords that may have been entered on the site, especially for Fortnite and other important accounts. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity. Consider running a full system scan using reputable antivirus software to detect and remove any malware that may have been installed. Finally, report the incident to the relevant authorities and the Fortnite support team to help protect others from falling victim to this phishing campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260608-14EB51
Favicon MD5:       a96519b83269f8dae4b954d9c2063eb5
TLS cert SHA-256:      04dcafdb53347c0400daaf708e28677cf2e9fa50419da027e3875abdb167286f

## 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.
