# PhishDestroy threat dossier — steamworlds.shop ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-30 00:32:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/steamworlds.shop/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Gaming Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 19/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, OpenPhish, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 64.118.140.109 (SG, Singapore) ASN: AS138997 Eons Data Communications Limited Hosting org: Eons Data Communications Limited Registrar: NameSilo !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["ns3.dnsowl.com", "ns1.dnsowl.com", "ns2.dnsowl.com"] Registered: 2026-04-02 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 838962dd4bdf46548c972c9fe3563a61f875aead668f71c8c66e6e3a9fae0eec ## 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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 15:52:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-02 12:53:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:12:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-08 15:04:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d4e3f-8b51-7268-bef1-aa9467de5dc7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a7a9ee31-b64c-4689-920f-f1adba7cb51d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/steamworlds.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.steamworlds.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=steamworlds.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/steamworlds.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/steamworlds.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-02 15:53:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies steamworlds.shop as an active fake Steam gift card phishing domain designed to trick users into surrendering personal or financial information under the guise of offering free game credit codes. The domain leverages urgency—such as limited-time offers—to prompt victims into clicking malicious links or submitting data on spoofed forms that mimic the legitimate Steam platform. Once engaged, users may unknowingly install malware, lose account access, or expose payment credentials to threat actors operating the site. This is not a random scam but a targeted social engineering campaign aimed at Steam users seeking free or discounted content. This domain was flagged by 11 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and resolves to IP 64.118.140.109, hosted under a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The site uses a deceptive naming strategy that includes 'steam' to exploit brand recognition and bypass user skepticism. Based on domain intelligence, the site is actively distributing phishing content and remains unblocked by major browsers or DNS filters at the time of analysis. The combination of a spoofed brand, live phishing content, and high-risk behavior categorizes this domain as elevated risk, indicating a real and immediate threat to visitors. If you have visited steamworlds.shop, immediately cease any interaction and close the browser tab. Do not enter any login credentials, payment details, or personal information. Scan your device using updated antivirus software such as Malwarebytes, Windows Defender, or ClamAV to detect and remove potential malware. Revoke any session cookies related to Steam in your browser settings and log out of all Steam sessions on other devices. Enable Steam Guard with two-factor authentication to protect your account from unauthorized access. Report the domain to Google Safe Browsing via their official form and share this advisory with others to prevent further victimization. Monitor financial accounts and Steam transaction logs for suspicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260402-0A9D25 Favicon MD5: 231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56 TLS cert SHA-256: 838962dd4bdf46548c972c9fe3563a61f875aead668f71c8c66e6e3a9fae0eec ## 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/steamworlds.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=steamworlds.shop 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.
