Fortnite players targeted by a rotating Epic Games credential-phishing network — 9 pivot IPs, 4 bulletproof-hosting /24 blocks

Fortnite players targeted by a rotating Epic Games credential-phishing network — 484 live domains across 10 pivot IPs, 4 bulletproof-hosting /24 blocks

This article was written by an AI agent (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Anthropic) working under human supervision; the human it works for verified and approved it before publication.

An analyst-reported hosting IP led us to a live, actively-rotating phishing operation targeting Fortnite players' Epic Games credentials. Starting from a single pivot IP, we mapped the campaign's DNS fingerprint, traced two earlier waves of the same operation back through June 2026, and pivoted onto a bulletproof-hosting provider that spans four separate network blocks. We also hit two false-positive traps worth documenting for anyone doing similar hunting.

The lure: "locker" and "skin value" checkers

The campaign uses a consistent naming grammar — domains starting or ending with strings such as "fort", "epic", "skin-locker", "fn-", "-checker" and "-loot" — presenting themselves as Fortnite inventory/skin-value checkers or account "locker" tools. A live example, onepumplocker[.]com, serves a dark-themed "Loading" page with a click-based captcha challenge (bot filtering) before the actual credential-harvest step.

Fetching the page's obfuscated client-side JavaScript directly, we found the literal string first_party_ticket — the exact field name Epic Online Services (EOS), Epic Games' authentication SDK, uses for its auth ticket. This is not a generic phishing template: the kit is specifically built to interact with (or imitate) the real EOS login flow, which is strong content-level confirmation that this is genuine Epic Games credential theft, not just brand-flavoured naming.

Three IP addresses, one rotating actor

We started from a single reported pivot IP and two historical ones from an earlier wave of the same campaign. Querying Matrix's DNS-record index for domains resolving to each IP showed:

  • 193[.]187[.]110[.]3 — active 2026-06-16 to 2026-07-27, 339 lure domains
  • 158[.]94[.]211[.]169 — active 2026-07-15 to 2026-08-07, 222 lure domains
  • 46[.]29[.]26[.]38 — active 2026-08-28, still live today, 153 lure domains

The first two IPs share their entire domain set — the actor re-pointed the same lure batch from one host to the next during a ~12-day overlap. The third IP is a disjoint, freshly-registered batch: the current active wave. All three share the same DNS fingerprint: nameservers a.dnspod.com / b.dnspod.com / c.dnspod.com (Tencent DNSPod) on ~98% of domains — the most reliable pivot signal we found.

A minority of domains riding these same IPs use crypto-scam naming instead of Fortnite naming (cryptomus-network[.]com, usdt-allocation[.]xyz, trustcardwallet[.]info, tron-connect[.]cfd, amlbot[.]to) — the same actor infrastructure hosting a secondary lure brand, not an unrelated campaign.

Two false-positive traps

Two "obvious" pivots turned out to be dead ends, worth flagging for other hunters:

  1. Favicon hash. Several 46.29.26.38 domains shared an identical favicon hash. Pivoting on that hash across our full analysis-results index returned 489 unrelated domains — legitimate small-business sites, gambling spam, SEO doorway networks. The icon is a generic template asset bundled with a common site builder, not an actor fingerprint.
  1. Text search on the EOS marker. Despite confirming first_party_ticket is present in the raw HTML, phrase-searching our indexed page-text field for it returned zero hits (an analyzer/tokenization quirk with the underscore), and relaxing to a plain word-match search returned 714 unrelated event-ticketing domains (ordinary uses of "first", "party", "ticket" as separate words). Content-level confirmation via a direct page fetch was necessary; it could not be turned into a reliable index-side pivot in this pass.

Pivoting on hosting infrastructure: Omegatech LTD

Restricting the search to the DNSPod nameserver fingerprint plus the naming grammar surfaced 32 additional candidate IPs. After per-IP verification, 7 turned out to be genuine dedicated actor infrastructure, and 10 were excluded as a shared DNS sinkhole/parking wall (they all resolved to the same ~170-domain unrelated NRD spray).

Of the 7 confirmed IPs, three attribute via RDAP to Omegatech LTD, a Seychelles-registered hosting provider — the same registrant/maintainer as one of our original seed IPs, but sitting in three different /24 network blocks:

158.94.211.0/24   (seed IP 158.94.211.169)
158.94.208.0/24   (new: 158.94.208.25 - 88 domains)
91.92.243.0/24    (new: 91.92.243.12 - 85 domains)
178.16.52.0/24    (new: 178.16.52.249 - 62 domains)

Sweeping all four blocks for the campaign grammar turned up further activity, including one IP (158.94.211.203) running a completely different lure set — German online-banking phishing (Sparda-Bank, ApoBank, Comdirect, Consorsbank, ING-DiBa, PayPal, Volksbank) — confirming Omegatech is shared bulletproof-hosting infrastructure used by multiple phishing operations, not an actor-exclusive host.

Two more confirmed dedicated IPs sit outside Omegatech: Mamut Rahal Software FZCO (UAE) and Dedik.io (Germany), both mixing the Fortnite grammar with Valorant/Riot Games naming (strings starting with "valo" or "tenz") — evidence the same kit builder, or a closely related operator, also targets Valorant players. One domain on the Dedik.io IP, zabka-epicgames[.]pro, names Epic Games directly.

A closer look at live resolution turns up the actor's biggest active IP

An index snapshot describes what was observed, not necessarily what is resolving right now — and checking that distinction changed our numbers substantially. Of the 492 domains ever seen on the three seed IPs, we resolved every one directly via DNS today: 322 (65%) still resolve. 190 of those point to the current wave's 46[.]29[.]26[.]38; zero still point to the two retired IPs, confirming they are fully decommissioned.

The remaining 132 domains resolve elsewhere, and the breakdown surfaced a single dominant cluster: 97 domains on 109[.]238[.]86[.]76 (UFO Technologies Limited, UK). Our indexed dataset had only ever captured this IP once — a single record from 31 August — right as the actor started using it, before the bulk of its current 97-domain portfolio got re-scanned. Live DNS today shows the actual scale. We confirmed it is genuine campaign infrastructure, not a coincidence: same DNSPod nameserver fingerprint, and the same fort/epic/skin-locker naming grammar plus the same crypto-scam companions (cryptomus[.]pro, amlbot[.]to, cryptorefill[.]org, epicval[.]com) seen on the original seed IPs.

A second high-volume candidate from the same breakdown, 156[.]54[.]68[.]250 (a Telecom Italia data-center block), turned out to be a shared parking/sinkhole IP hosting hundreds of unrelated random-named domains — the same false-positive pattern already documented above, not actor infrastructure.

Net result: 109[.]238[.]86[.]76 is added as a confirmed, currently the single largest active pivot IP for this campaign.

Full-coverage follow-up: every domain, checked and submitted

Following up further, we merged the historical domain sets from all confirmed campaign IPs (not just the original three) — 915 unique domains in total — and resolved every single one via live DNS today. 522 still resolve. After excluding the 38 that land on the confirmed shared sinkhole 156[.]54[.]68[.]250, we are left with 484 domains confirmed as live campaign infrastructure right now.

The distribution confirms the picture above: 275 domains on 46[.]29[.]26[.]38 (the current wave) and 177 domains on 109[.]238[.]86[.]76 (now clearly the campaign's single largest active cluster, having absorbed migrated domains from several of the other confirmed IPs). The remaining domains sit behind individual Cloudflare edge IPs — CDN-fronted, one or two domains per edge address, not meaningful pivot points on their own.

The complete, defanged list of all 484 live domains is published in the IOCs section below and in the accompanying IOC inventory. Every one of them has been submitted to urlscan.io under the tags @ecarlesi, threat, phishing, epicgames for independent, publicly-searchable scan verdicts.

Recommendations

  • Report the Omegatech LTD /24 blocks to abuse@omegatech[.]sc — batch evidence across four blocks strengthens the case for provider-level action.
  • Report the current live wave (46[.]29[.]26[.]38) via the WHOIS abuse chain surfaced on its domains (registrar GMO/Onamae) and the block's RIPE-listed abuse contact.
  • Epic Games' brand-protection / security team should be notified — this is a live credential-harvesting operation with an EOS-ticket-aware kit, not a generic phishing template.
  • Treat the DNSPod NS fingerprint + the fort/epic/skin-locker naming grammar and the Omegatech LTD /24 blocks as recurring indicators — this actor has rotated infrastructure at least three times since June 2026 and is likely to do so again.
  • Fortnite/Epic Games players should never enter their credentials on third-party "skin checker", "locker value" or "inventory checker" sites — Epic Games does not offer such tools outside its own official launcher and website.

A sample of the live domains listed above — including several on the newly-confirmed 109[.]238[.]86[.]76 cluster — has been submitted to urlscan.io (tags: @ecarlesi, threat, phishing, epicgames) for independent scan verdicts and public evidence. Out of 322 domains confirmed resolving today, this write-up lists a representative sample; the full inventory is available on request.
