Be the first to run a threat analysis on this domain.
While shinyapps.io is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
shinyapps.io 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.
shinyapps.io allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.shinyapps.io". An address like "paypal-secure.shinyapps.io" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Posit Software, PBC.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
