Security Considerations

While cornell.edu is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

File Hosting

cornell.edu 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.

Document Hosting

cornell.edu hosts documents and pages shared via links. Because the domain is trusted, links pass through email spam filters easily. Attackers exploit this to host fake invoices, login pages, or malware download prompts.

Custom Subdomains

cornell.edu allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.cornell.edu". An address like "paypal-secure.cornell.edu" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Cornell University.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
