The reason I replied was because people were jumping to conclusions
about Clem's web site, and words like you said can move quickly across
an unforgiving internet. The rest here is just "Arguing with Gil" and
I'm not interested.

I've never met Clem. I don't know what he looks like, Why should I
trust someone who claims to be Clem. That's what certificates are for.
Looks like Clem fixed the cert problem today, as Thomas mentioned. So
that should hopefully eliminate most of your concerns such as redirect
and malware, along with the .org guess. Ready to click yet? :)
Expired certificate?
It could be Clem set it up with a self-signed cert and put that cert in
the trusted store in his browser. That way when he tests himself, it
looks good. I've done that myself for local testing or for a small set
of users. These days I use ZeroSSL certs, even for testing. No more
hassles, no more evil red marks on the browser URL line.
I don't grok "self-signed".

Since it's still May 4th here in California, here's one that tells you

"still May 4th here"‽ What brand server are you using that doesn't
know it's no longer May 4 inHerstmonceux? Probably Microsoft.
Long after it was generally recognized as a Bad Idea they kept
system clocks and file timestamps in local time (as does ISPF.)

Agreed (with Gil). There's a lot more dangers in bad websites than just
credentials theft.
If my browser says "don't go there", I won't.
Three. Firefox, Safari, and curl. The one I tried is better now.
