Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fortox.sbs/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      7/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Registered:      2026-05-16
Expires:         2027-05-16

## 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

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:51:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortox.sbs as a generic phishing domain with an elevated risk level, specifically a crypto drainer that targets unsuspecting cryptocurrency holders. This domain was flagged due to its malicious intent, which is a cause for concern among the cybersecurity community.

 
The domain fortox.sbs was created on May 16, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and is currently offline, but its presence on 1 security blocklist and being found in 3 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses raises concerns. Furthermore, 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain, underscoring the potential threat it poses. Although it is currently offline, its history and the fact that it was once active are enough to warrant caution.

 
To mitigate the risks associated with crypto drainers like fortox.sbs, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with unfamiliar websites, especially those requesting cryptocurrency transactions. It is essential to verify the authenticity of websites and never provide sensitive information or wallet keys to untrusted sources. By being vigilant and taking proactive steps to protect their digital assets, users can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to such threats.

## 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.
