Investigation Brief

The site at https://gog.squid.wtf/ presents a searchable grid of popular PC games with ratings and tags, styled as a GOG.com archive. No login, payment, or file-download controls appear in the captured page. External links point to Discord, status page, a donation link, and Privateers.Wiki. the multi-engine malware scan shows zero malicious detections; Safe Browsing is clean. Domain is over 2 years old with clean IP reputation.

What the site appears to do

The captured page displays a dark-themed grid of game covers including Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Stellaris, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and others, each with star ratings and genre tags. A search bar and header labeled 'GOG Archive' are present. Footer links include Discord, Status, Donate, and Privateers.Wiki.

Strongest evidence and limitations

the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the multi-engine malware scan reported 0 malicious detections out of 92 engines. The domain was registered in August 2023 (1077 days old) and the hosting IP shows zero abuse confidence. No credential forms, deceptive download buttons, or payment flows were observed on the page. The site lists external domains including bsky.app, discord.gg, twitter.com, status.squid-board.org, give.calibour.com, and privateers.wiki.

No direct contact email is listed on the page. The purpose of the archive (catalog only versus actual game distribution) cannot be confirmed from the captured content alone.

Practical user impact

Visitors see a visual catalog of games but encounter no immediate harmful actions such as forced redirects, popups, or download prompts. The site may function as a reference or community archive. Users should verify any linked external resources before providing information or making donations.

Why the score is 62

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

gog.squid.wtf is an established domain now carrying threat signals. An older domain that starts tripping security checks is a classic pattern for an asset that was sold, repurposed, or compromised — the age alone is not reassurance.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    The page itself presents no observed harmful behavior. Treat it as an unverified game catalog; avoid entering credentials or sending funds through linked donation pages without independent verification.

  2. Treat gog.squid.wtf as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is gog.squid.wtf a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give gog.squid.wtf a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 3 years old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is gog.squid.wtf safe to use?
gog.squid.wtf has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has gog.squid.wtf been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report gog.squid.wtf as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is gog.squid.wtf on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — gog.squid.wtf is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the gog.squid.wtf domain?
gog.squid.wtf is 3 years old, registered on August 22, 2023 through NETIM SAS. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does gog.squid.wtf have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — gog.squid.wtf presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Actalis S.p.A. · Actalis Domain Validated TLS Server ECC CA 2025, valid for another 75 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is gog.squid.wtf hosted?
gog.squid.wtf resolves to an IP operated by OVH Hosting, Inc. in CA (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the gog.squid.wtf report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 4, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about gog.squid.wtf has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
