Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Hello Internet Corp Nameservers: memphis.ns.cloudflare.com, sandy.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-06 Page title: Fortstash: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5c6ec369f579fef83d910fb6ebf797054625175c93f124a2b64f6d66377e5637 ## 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: 2026-03-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 14:45:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 11:51:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-21 17:31:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 06:21:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daab1-adf9-76eb-b45f-cd7a8aaebe0f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/24751416-9b80-4ac1-a88b-84e42edfe029 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fortstash.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fortstash.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fortstash.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fortstash.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fortstash.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 14:48:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies fortstash.com as a live brand impersonation domain masquerading as Base, a major blockchain platform, with the sole intent of deceiving users into engaging with fraudulent crypto gambling services. The domain leverages Base's trusted reputation by adopting a naming convention and page title explicitly referencing cryptocurrency casinos on the blockchain. Security analysis confirms the site remains active despite zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95 engines) as of the latest scan, indicating it has flown under the radar of most automated defenses. Additionally, the domain was registered on March 06, 2026, through Hello Internet Corp using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, further enhancing its appearance of legitimacy. This domain was flagged under active investigation due to multiple red flags: it resolves to IP 104.21.11.170 and continues to host a page titled 'Fortstash: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,' directly targeting crypto-savvy users familiar with Base. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows zero detections across 95 security engines, suggesting a low-profile threat that may be spreading through targeted phishing campaigns. The domain's recent creation date and clean reputation also allow it to bypass many automated blocklists, increasing the risk of exposure to unsuspecting visitors. If you have visited fortstash.com or interacted with its content, immediately review any crypto wallet transactions or credentials entered. Do not input seed phrases, private keys, or connect wallets to the site. Clear browser cache and cookies related to the domain, and if any financial loss occurred, report the incident to your wallet provider and local cybercrime unit. Consider revoking any connected wallet permissions if exposed. Monitor financial accounts for unusual activity and remain vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts leveraging this scam. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-F78DE9 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 5c6ec369f579fef83d910fb6ebf797054625175c93f124a2b64f6d66377e5637 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fortstash.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fortstash.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
