mgamods[.]cc

On July 24, 2026, the domain mgamods.cc was observed as an offline infrastructure used for brand impersonation targeting the Counter‑Strike community. The site was registered on August 12, 2025 through CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. The domain is served behind Cloudflare's DNS with the authoritative nameservers donna.ns.cloudflare.com and walt.ns.cloudflare.com, and the HTTP stack reports support for HTTP/3. No TLS certificate was presented at the time of measurement, indicating that the site either operated without HTTPS or the certificate was removed prior to takedown. The page title returned by the server, “mgamods.cc — Download Premium Game Mods”, suggests a malicious attempt to lure Counter‑Strike players into downloading unauthorized modifications.

Threat intelligence aggregators have flagged the domain on a single security blocklist, and seven of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners identified malicious behavior, contributing to an elevated risk rating. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the classification as a low‑reputation asset. PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain, and the current status is reported as offline. The absence of an SSL certificate eliminates the possibility of encrypted command‑and‑control traffic, but the use of Cloudflare's CDN could obscure the true origin of any malicious payloads.

No additional infrastructure such as sub‑domains or secondary IPs was observed in the public DNS records, limiting the scope of the current footprint. Defenders should continue to deny resolution of mgamods.cc at the network perimeter, update URL filtering policies to include the observed IP address and associated Cloudflare ranges, and monitor for any resurgence of the domain or its aliases.
