Domain & infrastructure

Timeline · identity · encryption · redirects · hosting

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

05 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  • Treat simonw.github.io as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience

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 simonw.github.io a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give simonw.github.io a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is an unknown age. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is simonw.github.io safe to use?
simonw.github.io has a Safety Score of 69/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 74%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has simonw.github.io been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report simonw.github.io 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 simonw.github.io on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — simonw.github.io 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 simonw.github.io domain?
simonw.github.io is an unknown age. 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 simonw.github.io have a valid SSL certificate?
No — simonw.github.io has an invalid or broken SSL certificate, so browsers will show a security warning. Combined with the other signals, we recommend avoiding it.
Where is simonw.github.io hosted?
simonw.github.io resolves to an IP operated by GitHub, 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 simonw.github.io report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 28, 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 simonw.github.io has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
