The Dossier

The page at https://megadb.net/gs4g447ybi0x presents a direct download for a 4.3 GB RAR file titled Super Mario Odyssey SteamRIP, a pirated copy of a commercial Nintendo title. Five security vendors flag the domain as malicious and two more mark it suspicious, with Fortinet specifically labeling it phishing. The site offers no verifiable contact details, hides ownership behind privacy settings, and promotes third-party download managers after a short countdown. These signals align with known patterns of file-hosting platforms that bundle malware with cracked software.

Risk Factors
  • 1Five antivirus engines flagged the domain as malicious, including Fortinet marking it phishing.
  • 2Three independent scam reports link the site to malware warnings and suspicious redirects during downloads.
  • 3The page hosts pirated game files such as Super Mario Odyssey SteamRIP, a common vector for bundled malware.
  • 4No contact email, phone, or address is listed anywhere on the site.
  • 5Ownership information is hidden and the domain carries low trust scores from multiple reputation services.
Positive Signals
  • 1Domain registered in 2021 and now 4.6 years old.
  • 2Hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.
  • 3SSL certificate is valid and issued by Google Trust Services.

Site Purpose and Content

The page is built as a file-hosting service that lets visitors download a single 4.3 GB RAR archive labeled Super Mario Odyssey SteamRIP. The title and description explicitly advertise a cracked version of the Nintendo Switch game. A prominent green button triggers a 10-second wait before offering the file, and the text encourages use of Internet Download Manager or Free Download Manager to increase speed.

Security Flags

Five independent antivirus engines classify the domain as malicious; Fortinet additionally tags it as phishing. Two further vendors mark the domain suspicious. The domain itself is 4.6 years old, registered on 26 November 2021, and carries a valid SSL certificate, yet still receives low trust scores from multiple reputation services.

Contact and Ownership

No email address, phone number, or postal address appears anywhere on the page. The only contact options are two social-profile links. Ownership information is hidden, and no business registration record is publicly available.

Visitor Flow

After the countdown, the site promotes third-party download accelerators and displays typical file-hosting navigation such as login, premium upgrades, and upload sections. No login form or countdown timer is required to reach the download button itself.

Observed Risk Patterns

The combination of pirated game content, multiple malware detections, and absence of verifiable contact details matches documented patterns of file-hosting sites used to distribute bundled malware.

Recommendation

Do not download or interact with files from this domain; treat any links leading to megadb.net as high-risk.
