buff[.]163[.]comeet[.]winterambience[.]com

Analysis conducted on July 24 2026 identifies the domain buff.163.comeet.winterambience.com as a brand‑impersonation site targeting the CS2 brand. The domain resolves to the IP address 34.248.216.111, which belongs to ASN 16509 operated by Amazon.com, Inc. and is geolocated in Ireland. Registration was performed through the RIPE NCC registry, indicating a European registrar. The page title returned by the server reads “BUFF163 skin trading platform, DOTA2 skin trade, CS2 skin trade”, directly referencing the CS2 brand and suggesting a fraudulent skin‑trading service.

No SSL certificate is presented, meaning the site operates over plain HTTP, a common characteristic of malicious impersonation infrastructure. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. VirusTotal has scanned the host with 95 antivirus engines without any detections; however, the absence of detections does not constitute evidence of safety. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy.

The site is offline at the time of review, preventing direct content inspection, so the exact tactics, credential‑capture mechanisms, or payload delivery methods remain unknown. Defenders should immediately add the domain and its resolved IP address to network‑level deny lists, monitor for any resurgence of the host, and extend brand‑monitoring rules to capture similar sub‑domain patterns that reference “buff” or “skin trade”. Continuous observation of the AS16509 Amazon range for new domains with comparable page titles is advised, as the infrastructure may be reused in future campaigns. Until the domain reappears, the risk remains under investigation, and any traffic to the host should be treated as potentially malicious.
