MT Intelligence
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.

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.
- OpenDiscuss this site on the forum
If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
