Security Considerations

While ox.ac.uk is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

Custom Subdomains

ox.ac.uk allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.ox.ac.uk". An address like "paypal-secure.ox.ac.uk" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not University of Oxford.

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