Is Sputnik safe?
Sputnik opens user-selected indicators on third-party OSINT reputation services.
When you use Sputnik's context-menu actions on selected text, a link, or media, it normalizes the selected indicator and opens lookup pages on multiple reputation services. The selected URL, domain, IP address, or similar artifact is included in those service URLs, and the extension also uses a tab helper to copy the artifact to the clipboard.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Sputnik 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.
