Brand impersonation — not the real site
i1tchupdate.pages.dev is a look-alike (homoglyph) of a well-known domain. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is i1tchupdate.pages.dev legit or a scam?
Zero-day typosquat clone of itch.io pushing malware via fake game update links spammed across itch.io comments.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site is a direct clone and typosquat of itch.io, created today with a name designed to mimic legitimate game update pages. Multiple independent reports confirm it is being heavily spammed in itch.io game comments with links to fake updates that contain malware. The domain has no business registration, no positive reviews, and carries explicit warnings from users that the downloads are malicious. Visual analysis shows a Cloudflare verification page, but the underlying purpose is credential or malware distribution. These combined signals leave no doubt about the intent.
