MT Intelligence
The domain gog-games.to is a deliberate clone of the legitimate GOG.com platform, mimicking the brand name to distribute free downloads and torrents of DRM-free games that belong to GOG's catalog.

Evidence from Reddit's r/PiratedGames community documents specific malware incidents — users report trojan scripts and threats embedded in downloads from this domain.

The domain is 805 days old and has no legitimate business registration or contact information, reinforcing that it operates as an unaccountable redistribution network.
