Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies fortifib.com.nuviab.com as a high-risk phishing domain designed to impersonate Fortifi Bank, a financial service portal. This fraudulent site attempts to trick users into divulging sensitive personal and banking information, posing serious risks including identity theft and financial loss. Vigilance is critical as unsuspecting victims may be deceived by its professional appearance and bank-related content. The domain fortifib.com.nuviab.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and remains active. It resolves to the IP address 198.12.80.250 and appears on one security blocklist, with 10 out of 95 security engines flagging it as malicious on VirusTotal. The webpage title “Fortifi Bank | Online Banking & Financial Services” is crafted to lend credibility and lure users into providing confidential data. Its ongoing activity and detection by threat intelligence services underscore the urgency of addressing this threat. Users should avoid visiting fortifib.com.nuviab.com and refrain from entering any personal or financial details if they encounter this site. It is advisable to verify URLs directly through official bank channels and use trusted security tools to detect suspicious links. Reporting the domain to cybersecurity authorities and using updated antivirus and anti-phishing software can further protect individuals from this and similar scams. ## 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/fortifib.com.nuviab.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortifib.com.nuviab.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
