Confidence
The domain was registered in 2005, which aligns perfectly with the organization's history and provides a high level of trust. Our analysis confirms this is a 501(c) non-profit professional association with a verified EIN and active business status. Major institutions like Penn State, Arizona State University, and the University of Michigan have publicly documented their involvement with this group. While the page uses a countdown timer for its 2026 conference, this is a standard event-marketing tool rather than a deceptive urgency tactic. The site serves as a functional portal for professional networking and resource sharing within the academic sector.

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 cammp.org and not a lookalike like c-ammp.org.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.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on cammp.org. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • cammp.org passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 79/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. cammp.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 82 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • cammp.org is 20.5 years old, registered on 1/18/2006 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report cammp.org as clean.
  • No. cammp.org is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • cammp.org resolves to an IP operated by WPEngine, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 1, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around cammp.org have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
