01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The site presents A/Prof Nigel Hope, a Sydney-based orthopaedic surgeon, as a professional information portal for patients seeking hip and knee surgery services. Contact details and practice addresses are clearly listed, and the hosting IP shows zero abuse reports.

Site purpose and operator identity

The homepage identifies A/Prof Nigel Hope as a senior orthopaedic surgeon with over 25 years’ experience specialising in hip and knee procedures including anterior hip replacement, knee replacement, knee arthroscopy and ACL reconstruction.

The entity is listed as Hope Orthopaedics with ABN 14445150260, and the privacy policy confirms the same legal name and registration details.

Contact information and technical posture

Two physical practice addresses are published: Suite 810, 406 Victoria St, Darlinghurst, NSW, 2010 and Suite 302, 172 Fox Valley Rd, Wahroonga, both sharing the phone number (02) 9473 8648.

The hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 with no saved reports, and the site uses standard TLS encryption via Cloudflare.

Why the score is 92

The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

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.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on nigelhope.com.au and not a lookalike like n-igelhope.com.au or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. 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.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

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

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is nigelhope.com.au legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on nigelhope.com.au, so it appears legitimate. All 67 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, and the domain is an unknown age — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is nigelhope.com.au safe to use?
nigelhope.com.au has a Safety Score of 92/100 (Safe). The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like nigelhope.com.au still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from nigelhope.com.au), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from nigelhope.com.au is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has nigelhope.com.au been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 67 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report nigelhope.com.au as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is nigelhope.com.au on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — nigelhope.com.au is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the nigelhope.com.au domain?
nigelhope.com.au is an unknown age through Melbourne IT. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does nigelhope.com.au have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — nigelhope.com.au presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 67 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is nigelhope.com.au hosted?
nigelhope.com.au resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the nigelhope.com.au report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 21, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about nigelhope.com.au has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
