RE: Scam: Your Funds and Friends Aren't Safe

in #utopian-io6 years ago

An interesting post with an interesting approach. I guess one cannot avoid different kinds of malicious behaviours when you face them every day.

Anyway, I could see examples for general links which you can see by hovering over them. What about shortened urls, which could be created to keep track of the click rate but also may make one to accidentally click unwanted link as they are curious.

Do you recommend any tools for such cases or is there a service/bot on Steem that expand shortened links?

Sort:  

Awesome thoughtful question. I totally forgot about tiny URLs. Since some Steemians use them for affiliate links and such, it can be abused to point to a malicious website.

I don't know any service on Steem but I have a tool un-shortener for shortened URL.
