id71841.info is an impersonation phishing page dressed up as Steam's help desk, with the Russian title "Поддержка Steam" ("Steam Support"). It targets Steam users, most likely Russian-speaking players, who are steered to it with a fake support or account-security pretext. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-13. The site has been offline since 2026-09-15, and its DNS was still inactive when we last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake Steam Support pages usually reach victims through chat messages, trade offers or friend requests. The message claims the account has been reported, flagged or locked, or that a trade needs verification. The victim is then asked to sign in through the lookalike page. Whatever they type goes to the operator, including the username, password and often the Steam Guard code. The attacker uses these to take over the account, empty its inventory of tradable items, spend any wallet balance, and use it to send the same lure to the victim's friends.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the page malicious and recognised Steam branding on it. On VirusTotal, 5 of 89 engines flagged the domain on 2026-09-13: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, ESET, Fortinet and Kaspersky. That is a modest count, but it came from several unrelated vendors on the day we found the site. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam, and it appears in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse as well as on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-24 through PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com), about three weeks before we detected it. It went dark two days after detection, a short lifespan typical of disposable phishing domains. Traffic was routed through Cloudflare on an address geolocated to Canada, which places the real origin server behind Cloudflare's proxy rather than revealing where the kit was hosted.
What to do
If you entered your Steam login on this page, change your Steam password at once from the official app or client. Then deauthorize all other devices in Steam Guard settings and revoke your Steam Web API key if one exists, since attackers use it to hijack trades. Check your trade history, active trade offers and email for unexpected changes. Use the same steps on any other account that shares that password, and warn your friends that messages from your account may be fraudulent. Defenders should block the domain, hunt in DNS and proxy logs for past visits, and treat Russian-language "Steam Support" lures as an active pattern.

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.
