Security Considerations
While netlify.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
netlify.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
netlify.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.
Custom Subdomains
netlify.com
allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.netlify.com". An address like "paypal-secure.netlify.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Netlify, Inc..
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
