The domain blizzardgearshop.shop hosts a fake online store that pretends to be Blizzard’s official gear shop. It copies Blizzard’s branding to lure fans and gamers looking for merchandise. PhishDestroy first detected the site on 2026-10-17. As of the last check on 2026-10-19 the site is still live and serving the fraudulent page.
How the scam works
The page is titled “The Official Blizzard Gear Store - Game Merchandise” and displays Blizzard logos and product images to appear legitimate. Visitors are prompted to log in with their Blizzard account or enter payment details to purchase non‑existent items. The collected credentials can be used to hijack accounts, access linked payment methods, or sell the data on underground markets. No wallet‑draining code was observed, so the primary loss is account takeover.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the site with 92 engines, 7 of which flagged it as malicious; detections came from alphaMountain.ai, ESET, G‑Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Netcraft and Webroot. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and marked the page as a fake shop. PhishDestroy added the domain to its blocklist and four OTX pulses reference the same impersonation activity. These independent signals confirm the site’s phishing nature.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-03-15 through Spaceship, Inc. Hosting is provided by Malakmadze Web LLC in Georgia, reachable at IP 188.244.119.61. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt certificate issued by “Let’s Encrypt / YE2”. No further infrastructure details are disclosed.
What to do
If you entered Blizzard login credentials on this site, change your password immediately and enable two‑factor authentication on your Blizzard account. Review recent account activity and revoke any unknown linked services. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, add it to phishing blocklists, and monitor for related impersonation campaigns. Keep an eye on threat‑intel feeds for additional indicators tied to this infrastructure.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including blizzardgearshop.shop)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
