Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
Skin-port.net is a recently registered website that presents itself on its homepage as the "official website" of Skinport, a Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) skin marketplace. It invites visitors to trade and buy in-game skins "securely". Its apparent purpose is a peer-to-peer or storefront-style marketplace for digital gaming items, a category in which visitors typically supply account credentials, trade links or payment details.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Multiple independent contradictory signals are present, and together they place this site in a clearly high-risk posture. The domain is confirmed as blacklisted: a substantial number of security engines, including several leading endpoint-security vendors, currently classify it as malicious, and a further group flags it as suspicious. This level of agreement is decisive, and no protective infrastructure offsets it. The homepage title also asserts "official website" status and promises secure trading on a hyphenated .net domain that was registered only a few months ago. Nothing in the captured evidence independently ties this operator to any established marketplace brand, so the "official" claim cannot be treated as credible. No conflicting legal entities were observed, and no on-page wallet-drainer, clipboard-hijack, hidden-form, or cloaking behaviour was detected in sandbox testing. These absences do not reduce the weight of the external detections. One outbound data submission from the page went to a destination outside the recognised-services set, which fits the risk of credential or trade-link capture on a skin-trading lure, though its content is not confirmed. Evidence:
- Homepage: the title claims "official website" status for a CS2 skin market and promises to "trade & buy skins securely", with no independently verifiable link to an established operator.
- Domain provenance: registered 2026-07-11 (~0.29 years old), with a single web-archive snapshot dated 2026-08-09 (1 year tracked), so there is no meaningful history.
- External reputation: 15 security engines rate the domain malicious and 2 suspicious, including three tier-one endpoint vendors.
- Sandbox behaviour: 7 external POST requests were observed across 3 runs, 1 of them to a non-whitelisted destination.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The captured pages present no verifiable operator identity, legal entity, or licensing or registration details. For a site that invites financial or account-linked trading, that is a significant disclosure gap, and it is worse for a new domain with no established standing. Because adverse reputation signals are already confirmed, this gap adds to the overall caution. No third-party broker or regulatory-database match was found, so no external regulatory standing can be cited in the site's favour. The site holds a valid but entry-level transport certificate. That shows encryption in transit and says nothing about the operator's legitimacy. Evidence:
- Registration: registrar is NICENIC International Group Co., Limited, with the domain expiring 2027-07-11.
- Transport security: TLS certificate issued by WE1 (DV, domain validation only), valid to 2026-12-07.
- Hosting: served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US).
- Terms and legal pages: no licensing body, registration number, or named operating company could be established.
What to Verify Next
Before any engagement, confirm through an independent route whether the genuine Skinport marketplace operates on this domain. Use the address published by the established brand's own verified channels, not links from this site, search ads, or messages. Compare the domain character by character with that verified address. Check whether the operator named in the site's legal pages exists in an official business registry. Confirm the official support and contact channels through that same independent route. If any account, trade link, or payment details were already supplied on this site, treat them as exposed and secure them with the relevant platform. Evidence:
- Domain naming: the hyphenated domain and the "official website" title should be compared with the verified brand address.
- Operator identity: no named legal entity or registry reference appears in the captured pages to check against.
- Data flow: one non-whitelisted outbound submission was recorded during testing.
Summary Verdict
The assessment is critical and clearly cautionary. Confirmed multi-vendor malicious detections, combined with a very young domain, no established history, and an unverified claim of official status, make this an elevated-risk site. Its legitimacy cannot be inferred from its technical hygiene, and the operator's real-world identity remains unverified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site sits behind Cloudflare's CDN and WAF, so all observed addresses are edge servers and the origin host is not visible. This is a mitigating factor only. It hides hosting details, so rapid content changes behind the edge cannot be independently checked. Cloudflare's own address space shows no abuse reports, which reflects shared infrastructure and not the site's behaviour. This posture cannot offset the confirmed external detections.
Closing Assessment
Do not enter credentials, link game or marketplace accounts, share trade links, or make payments on this site, and do not download anything from it. Limit any contact to passive viewing, and use only the verified official channels of the brand it claims to represent.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about skin-port.net at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
