01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Security and identity evidence

The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check confirmed a valid encrypted connection.

Third-party server monitors list NorthGame IRAN PUBLIC at 185.26.33.59:27015 and NorthGame - نورث گیم at 185.26.33.59:30000, confirming the site is tied to active Counter-Strike servers.

What the site offers visitors

The site describes itself as a private community for older games and states that disrespectful behavior leads to bans.

It supplies direct download links for Counter-Strike WarZone and TeamSpeak client version 3.6.2 (64-bit).

A contact form on the domain (info@northgame.ir) lets visitors send inquiries.

Why the score is 82

The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. 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.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before sensitive actions

No material threat was found, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on northgame.ir and not a lookalike like n-orthgame.ir or an IDN homoglyph.
Verify the operator before paying or signing in
Before a payment, login, or other sensitive step, confirm who runs the site through channels you find yourself, such as an official registry or the company's known social profiles.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

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 northgame.ir a scam or is it safe?

northgame.ir has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.

Is northgame.ir safe to use?

northgame.ir has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.

Has northgame.ir been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 60 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported northgame.ir as clean in the saved analysis from July 26, 2016. 8 other engines had no rating for it. 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 northgame.ir on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — northgame.ir 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.

Does northgame.ir have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — northgame.ir presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 42 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 northgame.ir hosted?

northgame.ir resolves to an IP operated by AbrArvan BGP Anycast in IR (Content Delivery Network). 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 northgame.ir report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 12, 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 northgame.ir has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
