Is Shodan safe?
Shodan sends each HTTP(S) tab hostname and its resolved IP address to Shodan lookup services.
When a tab loads or becomes active, Shodan extracts the site's hostname, asks geonet.shodan.io to resolve it, then asks internetdb.shodan.io for host data about the IP. It caches the returned Shodan host information locally to update the toolbar badge and popup.

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.
