Security Considerations
While daum.net is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Identity Provider
daum.net
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
daum.net
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
daum.net
allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.daum.net". An address like "paypal-secure.daum.net" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Kakao Corporation.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
