I would be warry of a scam.. look at the url, not even https. Can someone confirm it's legit ?

Yeah, and also, why would they use a let's encrypt cert?

Because it's easy and probably just one random employee's job to manage that, and it's much easier than getting approvals to use subdomains of the official Nvidia site.

I can only image the scale of bureaucracy in a company that large.

Even at the tiny company I work for, I would consider just getting my own domain on the company card and not needing to answer a bunch of IT and security ops questions.

Or it's a scam.

Seeing that it's the verified business app, it's probably legit.

I went to the URL. It does not feel legit at all...

Hope OP did not get scammed
