Is LinkSnappy Elite safe?

Medium risk

LinkSnappy Elite sends login credentials in the LinkSnappy authentication URL and loads torrents over HTTP.

When you sign in through the extension, it calls linksnappy.com with the username and password in the URL query string. It also requests the authenticated torrent list over plain HTTP with credentials enabled, so torrent-list traffic and any non-Secure cookies for that request travel without TLS.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed LinkSnappy Elite contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
