These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The site impersonates Fortnite and Epic Games on a non-official domain (fortniteinv.live), claiming to value players' in-game inventory. Six antivirus engines—alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Netcraft, and Webroot—flag it as phishing or malicious. The page promises a 'secure connection' to 'explore your Fortnite inventory' but is hosted on a third-party domain with no legitimate business affiliation. The domain was registered only 62 days ago, typical of short-lived phishing campaigns. The site contains no contact information, business registration, or legitimate company details—only a fake copyright notice claiming '© 2026, Epic Games, Inc.' The two-step flow ('Sign In' then 'Learn Price') is a classic credential-harvesting pattern designed to capture Fortnite account credentials before the user realizes they've been redirected away from Epic Games' official site.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page mimics Fortnite's branding and promises to calculate the market value of a player's in-game inventory. It uses phrases like 'secure connection' and 'fully safe assessment' to build false trust. The body text explicitly instructs users to 'enter your Fortnite details' and 'sign in' to proceed. No legitimate business information, privacy policy, or terms of service are present.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 104.21.23.178 with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (86 days to expiry). The certificate provides encryption but does not verify the site's legitimacy—phishing sites routinely use valid SSL. External resources load from legitimate CDNs (Google Fonts, Cloudflare, Tailwind CSS), a common obfuscation tactic to appear more professional.

Domain History

Registered 62 days ago via PublicDomainRegistry.com with privacy protection disabled. The domain fortniteinv.live uses a subdomain-like structure to mimic official Fortnite URLs. New registration combined with phishing-engine detections is a strong indicator of a temporary campaign domain.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the site as phishing or malicious. The hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score, suggesting the attacker is using a freshly provisioned or shared hosting provider. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the site is too new to have been widely reported.

60/100
  • Page claims to be Fortnite.
  • AI analyst tagged this as a brand / clone-site impersonation.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with fortniteinv.live

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags fortniteinv.live as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
