Who owns example.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for example.org. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
When was example.org registered?
example.org's registration dates to Aug 31, 1995 (31 years old), per public registration records. ICANN is the registrar on record today.

Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 5 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 5 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment
