Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

  Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
URLQuery:        2 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-12 11:06:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-12 09:09:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-22 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 12:48:15 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 11:38:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortnitechecking.top as a credential theft domain, currently active and impersonating Fortnite to deceive users. 
   
This domain was flagged by 12 of 95 VirusTotal vendors and is hosted on the IP 104.21.60.127, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.

The current status of fortnitechecking.top is still active, and users are advised to exercise extreme caution when interacting with this domain, as it poses a high risk to their sensitive information, and it is recommended to blocklist this domain to prevent potential credential theft, and to always verify the authenticity of websites before entering sensitive information.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260612-1E2EBB
TLS cert SHA-256:      b9aaca251142e3d3c9805bd9d884c4a6a64b92b3aa5a2f7397b95c7f05ff1bda

## 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.
