What happened
MalwareTips published an investigation on 17 October 2026 into RaidChest.com, a page presenting itself as a RAID: Shadow Legends reward event offering Mythical Champions, 50/100 Primal shards and 1000/5000 gems. Its screenshot, an original capture of the site, shows a "Join the event" form asking for a character name or ID.
According to the report, the page uses game artwork, navigation and Plarium copyright wording that resemble an official promotion, and several navigation links point to genuine RAID or Plarium sites. MalwareTips says none of this shows that Plarium authorised the event or who operates the page; Plarium is not shown to be involved. Reports describe a credential-phishing concern, but MalwareTips did not submit an ID or test any later step, so it does not claim what later pages ask for.
How the scam works
A large loot offer reaches players who know its in-game value, which makes the stakes feel low: it is about progress, not a bank account. Familiar branding and a copyright line make the page look official at a glance, and links to real sites can surround an unverified form without making it genuine. HTTPS only protects the connection; it does not show that a publisher approved the promotion.
The first step asks only for a character name or ID, which feels harmless and creates the expectation that the next page will complete the delivery. In credential-phishing versions of game giveaways, later pages ask players to sign in, "verify ownership" or provide a code before releasing the items. A stolen password can be tried on other accounts if it is reused, and a shared authentication code can approve an action the player never intended.
MalwareTips notes that Plarium's own phishing guidance warns against sharing passwords or two-factor codes and against messages promising free resources while posing as support. Promo codes have their own route on the official RAID redemption site, reached independently.
