What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on wargaming.net and not a lookalike like w-argaming.net.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • 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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on wargaming.net. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • wargaming.net passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 95/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. wargaming.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, expiring in 186 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • wargaming.net is 27.7 years old, registered on 10/21/1998 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. wargaming.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • wargaming.net resolves to an IP operated by G-Core Labs Customer assignment in LU (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. wargaming.net sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
