Is steamrip.net legit or a scam?
Typosquat clone of steamrip.com distributing cracked Steam games with multiple reports of trojans and account compromises.
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 source for free pre-installed cracked Steam games across many popular titles. Our analysis shows it is explicitly identified as a clone and typosquat of the main steamrip.com domain. Three scam reports on independent review aggregator and Reddit describe severe malware infections including legionloader trojan after downloads, plus Steam account takeovers. The page loads external domains and lacks any business registration or verifiable contact details. While the domain is over four years old, the combination of clone status, malware complaints, and piracy nature outweighs any positive signals.

Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
