Is NDC.org a legitimate way to track Chapter 13 cases?

I was told by the secretary of the lawfirm that’s handling my Chapter 13 case to go to ndc.org to find out details such as how many remaining payments I have.

I know a thing or two about technology, so I went to the site and checked it out. After the fiasco of the Affordable Care Act’s (aka Obamacare) website, I’m not surprised by what I find, but I don’t know any other way to verify the site is legit or not. Based on my other experiences with government websites, I can’t say for certain this is a legit website.

Verifying sites like this is an important step to prevent identity theft, hence my concern.

Is this site legit? I don’t expect this SE to be familiar with all the technobabble below, but I would expect this SE to know if this domain is what it says it is because it’s money related.

Red Flags

• There is no wikipedia entry for the site
• The site has a domain validated certificate, but I would expect extended validation
• The site mentioned 128 bit SSL security (which is now considered weak cipher strength) on their security page, but looking at the certificate in Firefox says 112 bits
• The certificate provides no ownership information to Firefox
• The only identifiable info in the certificate is that the NDC is in Lafayette California
• The site has a static web [page][1] that refers to a certificate by Verisign, yet the certificate is issued by Digicert (a competitor to Verisign)
• Website looks designed by a competent person/firm (scuttlebut and experience say that government websites are always painful)
• Searching DuckDuckGo for “whois “ndc.org”” only yeilds the site itself, no domain information
• Searching whois.net directly, I get “No Data Available”
• Most searches related to this site only return the site itself, no metadata; it seems a lot of stuff has been scrubbed off the net

Seems Legit

• Given link by attorney’s secretary
• Link does not do any kind of crazy redirection, nor add crazy amounts of trash to the URL
• Searching for NDC on DuckDuckGo yields the site as the first result, but also a myriad of other National Data Centers

• Site is a combination of whiz-bang and government jargon, which seems plausible if this was a recent or ongoing government contract
