# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fortmex.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 16:47:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fortmex.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Epic Games ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Netcraft, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: kristin.ns.cloudflare.com, maxim.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-11 Expires: 2027-02-11 Page title: Fortnite Inventory Checker | Epic Games ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a3ec75e941f307625464b625530ba666537aad3d8b29ec668e595a6b6ab4a938 ## 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: 2026-02-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 14:40:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 18:20:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f41bd-cf8c-771c-a231-a141085fcfc2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fortmex.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fortmex.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fortmex.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fortmex.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fortmex.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 14:46:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, fortmex.top, is actively engaged in brand impersonation targeting Epic Games, specifically leveraging the Fortnite brand to deceive users. The site presents itself as a Fortnite Inventory Checker under the title 'Fortnite Inventory Checker | Epic Games,' a tactic designed to exploit trust in the gaming platform. Analysis indicates no direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit at this stage, though the impersonation framework suggests potential for credential harvesting or secondary payload delivery. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, a high-risk vector due to its capacity to mislead users into divulging sensitive information or executing malicious actions under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on February 11, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious or high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which may be part of a content delivery network or proxy service to obfuscate the true origin. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a veneer of legitimacy while failing to mitigate the underlying malicious intent. As of the latest assessment, the domain is flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage but persistent gaps in automated defenses. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no additional blocklist counts have been reported beyond the VirusTotal detections. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, posing an ongoing risk to users who may encounter it through phishing links, malicious advertisements, or compromised social media channels. Response actions are limited to existing detections, as the domain has not yet been universally blocked by major security platforms. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the combination of active status, brand impersonation, and low detection rates among security vendors. Users are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering unsolicited links related to Fortnite or Epic Games, particularly those promising inventory checks or exclusive in-game rewards. Verification of domain authenticity through official Epic Games channels is strongly recommended before interacting with any third-party services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a3ec75e941f307625464b625530ba666537aad3d8b29ec668e595a6b6ab4a938 ## 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/fortmex.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortmex.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
