Security Considerations

While www.ieee.org is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

Document Hosting

www.ieee.org 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

www.ieee.org allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.ieee.org". An address like "paypal-secure.ieee.org" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

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