Confidence
bod.ge functions as a chronological portfolio of original creative work by Mike Bodge, a known internet artist and designer. The site is verifiable through multiple independent sources: a verified X/Twitter account (@mikebodge), a GitHub profile (mbodge), and references on professional networks like Are.na. The portfolio lists dozens of projects spanning 2003–2026, including documented collaborations with Google, Nike, Coinbase, MT Intelligence, and Apple, as well as experimental web projects hosted on related domains (aux.xyz, obsessed.ai, 4dhd.org). Our antivirus network flagged zero detections across 92 engines, SSL is valid, and no scam reports or complaints appear in any search results. The site's mention of past work on a Verizon Minecraft project is openly credited as a brand collaboration, not impersonation. The absence of business registration is consistent with a personal portfolio rather than a commercial entity.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents as a personal portfolio titled 'Mike Bodge - Internet Products' with a chronological list of creative projects spanning from 2003 to 2026. Projects include experimental web toys, brand collaborations (Nike AR, Spotify, Tinder, Coinbase), and founding of 4DHD (described as a company founded in 2025). The portfolio credits work with major tech and creative companies. One email address on the domain is present; no phone number or postal address is listed.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL (Let's Encrypt, 41 days to expiry), resolves to IP 76.76.21.21, and loads external resources from legitimate social platforms (Twitter, Instagram) and related project domains (4dhd.org, aux.xyz, obsessed.ai). The IP has zero abuse score and no flagged reputation issues. No malware, phishing, or suspicious code detected by our antivirus network (0/92 engines flagged).

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, preventing direct registration-date confirmation. However, the portfolio's project history extends back to 2003, and the site is referenced across multiple established platforms (X, GitHub, Are.na) with consistent attribution to Mike Bodge. The domain does not appear to be newly registered or parked.

Web Reputation

Web searches returned no scam reports, complaints, or fraud mentions. Three positive references were found: a verified X/Twitter profile, a GitHub account, and a portfolio aggregator (Are.na). Independent review aggregators returned no data (expected for a personal portfolio rather than a commercial service). The site is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a niche creative professional portfolio.

Risk Factors
4
  • WHOIS data unavailable — domain registration details cannot be independently verified.
  • Page impersonation flag triggered for Minecraft; however, evidence shows this is a credited past collaboration (Verizon Minecraft 2015), not impersonation.
  • Not indexed in global traffic rankings — typical for a personal portfolio with limited audience.
  • No phone number or postal address listed — standard for a personal portfolio, not a commercial entity.
Positive Signals
5
  • Verified social identity: X/Twitter account (@mikebodge) and GitHub profile (mbodge) both link to bod.ge and confirm the creator's identity.
  • Long project history: Portfolio spans 2003–2026 with documented collaborations with Google, Nike, Coinbase, MT Intelligence, and Apple.
  • Clean antivirus scan: 0/92 engines flagged as malicious or suspicious; valid SSL certificate.
  • No scam reports or complaints found across web searches, consumer-review sites, or fraud databases.
  • Referenced on professional networks: Site is cited on Are.na and other creative professional platforms.

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 bod.ge and not a lookalike like b-od.ge.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.

  • Yes. bod.ge presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 41 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

  • No. bod.ge is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
