Is Shodan safe?
Shodan sends visited site hostnames to Shodan services to look up IP and host intelligence.
When you load or switch to an HTTP or HTTPS tab, Shodan extracts the site's hostname and sends it to geonet.shodan.io to resolve an IP address. It then sends that IP address to internetdb.shodan.io and caches the returned Shodan host details, such as ports, tags, hostnames, and vulnerabilities, for the extension popup.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Shodan 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.
