Just for shits and giggles and as I have a semi professional interest in computer security I had a play with the phishing site. Reasonably good facsimile of steam, every link on the pages redirects you to a login prompt which will fairly obviously be a keylogger, but not content with that it pops up a decent look alike of the "Steam Guard" 2FA window, that indicates that as an added security measure to access Steam from this PC you will need to download the latest SteamGuard.exe tool and install it. Doing so would be a terribly bad move because it installs a particularly nasty backdoor trojan.

Not the usual bad spelling phishing site, some effort went into this, the default page and the 404 are all redirected to a steam themed "Website under Construction" page.

PS: I did this all in a VM which is going to be reverted afterwards, not from my home PC, and any login credentials used were blatently fake :-)

Also worth noting if you use a smart password manager like LastPass, it helps stop this sort of shit, as it won't recognise the fake domain as a valid domain for those credentials unless you explicitly go in and add it as an equivalent domain.
