listen here, you little shit
Cm0002:
waltzes into chat about deceptive links
clicks a deceptive link
realizes they have been deceived
Cm0002: “No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong”.
Lmao, it’s less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂
Its all good. I’m glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.
Once you see the XcQ it’s too late.
It’s true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you’ve been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled
You don’t have an adblocker? Wild
For a youtube app? Or did you mean on the network level? Because I’ve yet to tinker with the latter…
Yeah the latter
Exactly what I expected. Thanks for not letting me down.
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.
Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.
It’s because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.
This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that’s a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.
Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(
Pretty sure its under a more info dropdown
I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).
Based on these ads, I do not trust the site anyway.
Love the concept, though.
This is just a straight-up better version of what OP linked: https://phishyurl.com/
CreepyLink to CreepyLink: https://web-safe.link/root_EXyoFH_claim_gift_card.mp4
Thunder app tries to load mp4 💀
In Germany, we have https://fckaf.de/
A very good service by DIE PARTEI
Of course it would be them. Love it. Thanks for the link!
Lol, they’re even offering emails? Thanks for sharing!
alive internet theory
A similar one here: https://phishyurl.com/
Holy shit, they’re not messing around, and that’s with the “Normal” setting
Also love the alleged directory structure
Absolutely scary 😬 But link “shortener” may be the wrong name in this case
I don’t think it purports to be a shortener, just a susener
This is just straight-up a better version of what OP linked
Pfft, I got one with TODO_Obfuscate_URL. I wish I saved it.
I totally believe this works, but there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links
Here’s my creepy link: https://verify.ic6do.com/Y8kl04_system_optimizer
it would be quite something, if the links actually went to/through malicious sites…
It’s why they have a report feature. No idea how well they moderate things tho.
Site seems best for gags with friends.
I used to run a public link shortener. Once the scammers catch wind and add it to their rotation all bets are off. I got inundated with reports and my standing with my web host would have been at risk as well (long story). I now use Shlink on those domains lol.
Maybe 1 of a thousand redirects actually does go to a malicious site.
