DESCRIPTION

When I analyzed pdfcoffee.com, there were many featured stories which were excertps to single post pages contining files users had uploaded to pdfcoffee.com. Notably, the goal of pdfcoffee.com was not only to give users the chance to upload and share files but tu publicly shiwcase the files to users. It was not clear to me whether an uploader could choose to hide their uploads of it they were always made public. The About pages hinted that all files uploaded to pdfcoffee.com will be made public.

Is pdfcoffee.com Safe to Visit or Use?

Pdfcoffee.com is a safe website (graded 8.4/10). Our Sucuri scan for dfcoffee.com returned a 404 Not Found on one of the URLs still in the use, but I believe it’s related to the content delivery network and nothing to worry about from a user perspective. Full results:

I checked pdfcoffee.com on Sucuri, and it returned as a low security risk.

Our Sucuri scan couldn’t scan https://pdfcoffee.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#dab3b4bcb59aaabebcb9b5bcbcbfbff4b9b5b7 because of a 404 Not Found status on the URL. I can see that the webpage is related to CDN and it’s not a big deal, which is why Sucuri still graded the site as a low security risk.

Apart from that one URL, there were no other issues on the Sucuri scan results.

I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on pdfcoffee.com, and it is clean.
