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 moodle.org and not a lookalike like m-oodle.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 from the scan data on this page. These are auto-generated — not hand-written — so they always match the underlying report.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on moodle.org. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- moodle.org passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 92/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. moodle.org presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 70 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- moodle.org is 24.2 years old, registered on 4/2/2002 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
- No. moodle.org is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- moodle.org resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, 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.
- We cache results for 24 hours. Signed-in MalwareTips members can trigger a manual rescan at any time using the "Rescan" button on the report page, which re-runs every check from scratch and refreshes this page.
