Is perpenda.com legit or a scam?
A 28-day-old educational site for AI product managers that is currently flagged by four security engines for phishing and malicious activity.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only 28 days ago, which is a common timeframe for temporary or high-risk sites. Our antivirus network shows four detections from engines including ADMINUSLabs, CRDF, CyRadar, and SOCRadar, specifically citing phishing and malicious intent. While the page content appears professional and links to a GitHub repository, there is no verifiable company information, physical address, or phone number provided. The site claims a version history extending into 2026, which is inconsistent with its very recent registration. These conflicting signals—high-quality design versus multiple security flags and lack of transparency—warrant a cautious approach.
