Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active phishing campaign involving the domain fortnite-rewards.com, which specifically impersonates Fortnite’s official reward system to deceive users. The threat is classified as a generic phishing campaign targeting gaming enthusiasts who may believe they are accessing legitimate reward offers. As of the latest investigation, this domain remains active and is not yet widely flagged by security vendors, warranting immediate scrutiny. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the investigation seed b8b292, indicating a low initial detection rate despite its malicious intent. It was registered through IONOS SE and resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1. The domain was created on April 01, 2026, and operates with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, potentially increasing its credibility among unsuspecting users. The lack of detections suggests this campaign may be newly deployed or employing evasion techniques to bypass early-stage security measures. The current status of fortnite-rewards.com remains under investigation, but concrete precautions are advised. Users should avoid interacting with this domain or any associated links claiming to offer Fortnite rewards. Security teams are recommended to block the domain at the network level and monitor for connections to IP 216.198.79.1. Enhanced phishing awareness training, particularly for gaming communities, is strongly encouraged to mitigate the risk of credential theft or malware delivery through deceptive reward schemes. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4934d7a23495aca58a8d0f2fa1766850443b4264ba81c17d6d784bd69928a6df ## 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/fortnite-rewards.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortnite-rewards.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.
