Security Considerations
While umich.edu is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Document Hosting
umich.edu
hosts documents and pages shared via links. Because the domain is trusted, links pass through email spam filters easily. Attackers exploit this to host fake invoices, login pages, or malware download prompts.
Custom Subdomains
umich.edu
allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.umich.edu". An address like "paypal-secure.umich.edu" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not University of Michigan.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
