## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortnites.live as a confirmed generic phishing site, posing a significant threat to users who attempt to check their Fortnite inventory. This domain was flagged due to its misleading page title, Fortnite Inventory Checker | Epic Games, which is likely intended to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. 

 The evidence against fortnites.live is substantial, with 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging this domain, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. The domain was created on April 02, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / YE1. 

 Users who have visited fortnites.live should exercise extreme caution, as they may have compromised their personal data. It is essential for them to monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and consider changing their passwords. Furthermore, they should be vigilant when encountering similar domains in the future, and always verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information, to avoid falling prey to generic phishing threats like the one posed by fortnites.live.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-01492F
TLS cert SHA-256:      c3d2a6ddd756ccaa83c15e231069507e288264cd49b0be71b57d5db6884bc4ce

## 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.
