Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies free-v-bucks.pages.dev as an active Fortnite V-Bucks scam impersonating Fortnite's in-game currency system. This domain is engineered to deceive users into believing they can obtain free V-Bucks, a premium currency in Fortnite, through fraudulent means. The threat type is a targeted phishing campaign designed to harvest personal and payment information under the guise of a 'free currency' offer. Users attempting to access this site are likely to encounter fake login portals or surveys that compromise their credentials and financial data. The risk level for this domain is currently under investigation, but the specificity of the impersonation and the lack of detection by security tools warrant heightened caution. This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized by antivirus engines. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is associated with Cloudflare's infrastructure, a common tactic among phishing domains to obscure their true origin. The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., a service often exploited by threat actors to mask their hosting locations and evade takedown efforts. The SSL certificate for this domain is issued by Google Trust Services, which is legitimate but frequently misused by phishing operators to lend an air of authenticity to their fraudulent sites. The domain is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a legitimate service, but one that is often abused for phishing and scam campaigns due to its free tier and ease of deployment. To mitigate the risks posed by free-v-bucks.pages.dev, users should avoid engaging with any site claiming to offer free V-Bucks or similar in-game currency. Fortnite's official sources, such as the in-game item shop or the official website, are the only legitimate ways to purchase V-Bucks. If a user has already interacted with this domain, they should immediately change their Fortnite account password and monitor their payment methods for unauthorized transactions. Reporting the domain to Fortnite's official support channels and to organizations like the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) can help prevent others from falling victim to this scam. Additionally, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on the Fortnite account adds an extra layer of security against unauthorized access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 90e28590e12e1f27f3c4f158769ad994 TLS cert SHA-256: cf4cd79184dc621864e06faf85e742a1fead517b7369d3a0e7b9e6fdf5cb4acd ## 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/free-v-bucks.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=free-v-bucks.pages.dev 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.
