Security Considerations

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

Custom Subdomains

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

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