# PhishDestroy threat dossier — store.steampowered.app1928502.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-16 02:34:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/store.steampowered.app1928502.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: gaming Targeted brand: steam (and: valve) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, ArcSight Threat Intelligence, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Phishing Database, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 92.118.112.22 (US, Atlanta) ASN: ASAS215540 GCS-AS GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS LLP, GB Hosting org: AS215540 GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS LLP Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Playtest on Steam ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R11 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-06 23:13:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198b2f9-58ce-740c-8426-5128ed2e0206/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/store.steampowered.app1928502.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.store.steampowered.app1928502.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=store.steampowered.app1928502.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/store.steampowered.app1928502.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/store.steampowered.app1928502.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:08:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies store.steampowered.app1928502.com as an active phishing domain targeting Steam users through brand impersonation. This threat matters because it deceives users by mimicking Steam’s branding and page title "Playtest on Steam," potentially harvesting login credentials and sensitive data to facilitate account takeover or fraud. The campaign’s high risk level underscores the need for vigilance against such fraudulent sites. The domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and is currently active, resolving to IP address 92.118.112.22. It appears on at least one known security blocklist, and VirusTotal flags it by 16 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its malicious intent. The domain’s structure, combining Steam’s official name with suspicious numeric additions, is typical of phishing infrastructure designed to confuse users and avoid detection. Users are strongly advised not to click any links leading to store.steampowered.app1928502.com or to enter any personal or login information if they have visited the site. Always verify official URLs by navigating directly to Steam through trusted sources. Employ updated anti-phishing tools and report suspicious domains to security teams or platforms like PhishDestroy to help reduce the risk exposure associated with this high-risk phishing campaign. ## 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/store.steampowered.app1928502.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=store.steampowered.app1928502.com 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.
