ネットワークセキュリティインテリジェンス Registrar context
Registrar contextTrustname
Stored registration data identifies Trustname / Fewmoretaps OÜ (IANA 4318) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains a separate registrar investigation; that material is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
upgradebattle.org poses as Upgrade Battle, a Counter-Strike 2 skin-upgrade service. Its Russian-language page title presents it as the "official site" for CS2 skin upgrades, which points to Russian-speaking players with tradable Steam inventories as the main audience. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-05. As of 2026-10-19 it was still online and serving its phishing content.
How the scam works
Skin-upgrade platforms ask players to sign in through Steam and deposit skins, then gamble those skins for a chance at a rarer item. A copycat exploits that routine. The Steam sign-in prompt can be a fake form that captures the password and Steam Guard code, and any "deposit" or trade offer can move items straight to the operators. Victims can lose their whole inventory, and sometimes the account itself, because stolen sessions are often used to change settings and empty the account later.
Evidence
On 2026-10-19, VirusTotal showed 5 of 92 engines flagging the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is low coverage, so most browsers and security tools will still let visitors through without a warning. The domain appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tracked it. PhishDestroy is currently the only blocklist listing it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-07 through Fewmoretaps OU (Trustname.com), about two months before PhishDestroy detected it. It sits behind Cloudflare, with the edge address located in Canada, so the real origin server is hidden from view. Its certificate from Google Trust Services is a standard automated one. The browser padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you signed in to Steam through this site, change your Steam password from the official client right away and re-check Steam Guard. Use "Deauthorize all other devices," and revoke any Steam Web API key you did not create yourself, because hijacked API keys are commonly used to intercept trade offers. Review your pending and recent trades, cancel anything you do not recognize, and report the theft to Steam Support. Do not deposit skins or accept trades started from this site. Defenders and community moderators should block the domain, warn CS2 trading groups about it, and report it to Cloudflare and the registrar so it can be taken down.

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.
