Is eclipse.org a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on eclipse.org. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is eclipse.org safe to use?

eclipse.org passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 97/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does eclipse.org have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. eclipse.org presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, expiring in 162 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the eclipse.org domain?

eclipse.org is 29.3 years old, registered on 4/14/1997 through Network Solutions, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has eclipse.org been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report eclipse.org as clean.

Is eclipse.org on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. eclipse.org is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is eclipse.org hosted?

eclipse.org resolves to an IP operated by EclipseFoundationInc in CA (usage type: Fixed Line ISP). 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.

Is eclipse.org a well-known website?

Yes. eclipse.org sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

What to do

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 eclipse.org and not a lookalike like e-clipse.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.
