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 nitga.co.uk and not a lookalike like n-itga.co.uk.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.

- Yes. nitga.co.uk presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 79 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
