Brand impersonation — not the real site
The page visually clones store.steampowered.com. 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 steamrip.com legit or a scam?
Steam-themed clone distributing pirated game downloads, a frequent malware vector despite its five-year-old domain.
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 presents itself as a free Steam games portal with dozens of recent commercial titles available for direct download. Visual analysis confirms it clones the official Steam store design, navigation, and artwork exactly. Only Chong Lua Dao flagged the page as malicious while the rest of the 91-engine scan stayed clean. The domain itself is 1865 days old with valid SSL and a clean hosting IP, yet the core activity remains unauthorized distribution of copyrighted games. This combination of impersonation and piracy content outweighs the low detection count and points to elevated malware risk.

- Do not interact with steamrip.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
