Our antivirus network and browser blocklists returned zero flags while the hosting IP shows no abuse history. The WHOIS record confirms registration over 17 years ago through a corporate registrar with no privacy masking.

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 sendgrid.net and not a lookalike like s-endgrid.net.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.
