## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-16 20:22:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortnite-x.shop as a live crypto-draining imposter that poses an elevated threat to gamers and cryptocurrency users.

This domain was flagged by 7 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 via a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. The seed 8cea21 places its creation after the popular battle-royale title Fortnite, matching a pattern common among gaming-themed drainer scams.

If you visited fortnite-x.shop: disconnect your wallet immediately, revoke any recently approved contracts on Etherscan or equivalent, clear browser cookies and local storage, and run a malware scan. Report the domain and its IP to your wallet provider and PhishDestroy so others are warned.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      1c93ec190405ae2de31df2b2e97b89fce250caed90941d37247aec5be1bd95d0

## 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.
