Security Considerations
While automattic.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
automattic.com allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.
Identity Provider
automattic.com provides "Sign in with..." authentication for third-party websites. Attackers create fake login pages that look identical to the real one. Always check the URL bar shows the exact correct domain before entering your password.
User-Generated Content
automattic.com hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.
Custom Subdomains
automattic.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.automattic.com". An address like "paypal-secure.automattic.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Automattic Inc..
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
