The domain was registered in 1992, making it one of the oldest and most established sites on the web. Our antivirus network shows zero detections across 92 different security engines, and the site maintains a high global traffic ranking. While some independent review aggregators show low scores, these are related to user complaints about fundraising frequency rather than security risks or fraud. The organization is a registered non-profit in multiple jurisdictions, including the Netherlands and the USA. We found no evidence of malicious activity, phishing, or malware distribution on this domain.

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 greenpeace.org and not a lookalike like g-reenpeace.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.

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 greenpeace.org. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- greenpeace.org passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 96/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. greenpeace.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 41 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- greenpeace.org is 34.0 years old, registered on 6/15/1992 through Gandi SAS. 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 greenpeace.org as clean.
- No. greenpeace.org is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- greenpeace.org resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
- Yes. greenpeace.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.
