- Related subdomain go.halpindev.com (open-source URL shortener) has a very low Scamadviser trust score (0/100) due to hidden WHOIS, young domain elements, low Tranco rank, iframe use, and a recent DNSFilter threat report
- stat.halpindev.com appears in security scans of unrelated phishing/malware sites (e.g. epicconverter.com, sorrywatermark.com) as a third-party analytics/tracking script alongside Google services, but is not flagged as malicious itself
- Domain halpindev.com is approximately 815 days old; owner maintains public X/Twitter (@halpindev), personal site halpindev.com listing all projects, and consistent email contacts

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 stat.halpindev.com and not a lookalike like s-tat.halpindev.com.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.
