Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] fortnite-vb.com phishing site steals Epic Games logins - July Analysis of fortnite-vb.com indicates a high-risk credential-harvesting operation targeting users of the Epic Games platform. The domain was registered on July 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with phishing infrastructure. It currently resolves to 186.2.171.13 and uses nameservers ns01.serverspace.ru and ns02.serverspace.ru, a hosting pattern observed in prior gaming-related phishing campaigns. The site presents a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate issued under the YR2 intermediate, providing HTTPS without identity validation. As of July 31, 2026, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by PhishDestroy. AlienVault OTX includes it in a recent threat intelligence pulse, and seven of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain as malicious. No Safe Browsing or additional brand-specific indicators are currently available, and the exact page content remains unanalyzed. Infrastructure analysis reveals no direct ties to known phishing kits, but the combination of domain naming, hosting provider, and SSL certificate suggests a deliberate attempt to mimic legitimate Epic Games services. Defenders should treat this domain as active and malicious. Recommended actions include blocking the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter security controls, alerting users to avoid interaction with any Epic Games-related login prompts hosted on fortnite-vb.com, and monitoring for credential reuse if exposure is suspected. The domain remains active, and further analysis may reveal additional infrastructure or campaign linkages. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260731-53DD9B Favicon MD5: c3dfd147f45b5e2fa32fad03a62a7b1f TLS cert SHA-256: 79c4d8521aef201a4ad41dd28c816d4702e26440884b89e47f5a020a0c0c6a0a ## 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/fortnite-vb.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortnite-vb.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.
