Is s.team-d.co legit or a scam?
Phishing clone impersonating Steam's s.team shortener to harvest user credentials; flagged by six antivirus engines and security researchers.
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain s.team-d.co is a typosquat and clone of s.team, Valve's legitimate official shortener for Steam store links, profiles, and login invites. Six antivirus engines—alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, Emsisoft, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker—all flag it as phishing. Security researchers documented the credential-theft flow: impersonation of the trusted Steam service, followed by urgency tactics, then a request for passwords or one-time passcodes. The domain was registered on June 6, 2026, and flagged as phishing within three days. A specific malicious URL path (s.team-d.co/p/qmzy-adpq/rvyzkgjx) appears in anti-phishing rule databases as a social-engineering attack. The page itself is blank—no legitimate business contact, no registration details, no social links—consistent with a throwaway phishing infrastructure. The hosting IP shows no abuse history, but that reflects only the IP's age, not the domain's intent.
