join[.]tm-vex-arena[.]com

The domain join.tm-vex-arena.com was registered on February 21, 2026 through CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and is currently resolved to the Cloudflare address 104.21.29.226 (AS13335, United States). The authoritative name servers are arely.ns.cloudflare.com and plato.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the site is fronted by Cloudflare’s reverse‑proxy infrastructure. No TLS certificate was observed for the domain, meaning HTTPS connections are not available despite the Cloudflare hosting. The HTTP response returned a page titled “FACEIT | Event”, which is unrelated to the reported brand target “cs2”.

This mismatch suggests the domain may be attempting to borrow legitimacy from the FACEIT platform while impersonating the cs2 brand, a common tactic in gaming‑related credential‑harvesting campaigns. VirusTotal recorded a single positive detection out of 93 scanning engines, demonstrating that at least one security vendor flagged the domain as malicious. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, and the domain appears on one external blocklist. PhishDestroy has already taken the site offline, and the current status is reported as taken offline.

The combination of a low trust score, a single vendor flag, and an active blocklist entry points to a credible impersonation attempt, even though the content has not been publicly captured. Defenders should add join.tm-vex-arena.com to URL filtering and DNS block policies, monitor for any resurgence of the domain, and consider extending detection rules to cover similar Cloudflare‑proxied subdomains that reference FACEIT or cs2. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any changes in the payload or hosting configuration.
