    I think she did make a good sale after all. Moreover, it is possible to load a little more corpses into this car than she thinks. ;)

    Have nice nights.

    That's strange indeed. I'm pretty sure I tested it before. Hopefully the alternative below will behave better.

    Be leary of URL shorteners. Some are malicious in nature
    and are offering such a service to try and phish data from
    your browser such as your email address to sell to
    spammers.

    That can certainly be the case! That was like a screaming
    banshee to me when the tiny urls first emerged. But the folks
    at TinyUrl do a nice job in providing a Preview option. Also,
    at least the most popular services now vet the links too.

    Indeed! I always open them into the browser's hidden mode.

    Hello Flavio!

    Be leary of URL shorteners. Some are malicious in nature..

    Indeed! I always open them into the browser's hidden mode.

    What is the hidden mode? I'll usually hover over a link and
    see what the "real" destination is. But I don't think that
    resolves ultimate destination of a tiny url.

    In some browsers it's called "private browsing"...

    That only goes so far too. Check out "Privacy Badger" if you're using Firefox.

    I never heard of PrivacyBadger. Just after a quick read/gleen about it, I like their ethic. It installed in my older FF under XP well.

    That's a must install for me. That, adblock ultimate, and duckduckgo privacy essentials. If there's others, please feel free to speak up :)

    I agree that Privacy Badger and some kind of adblocker is pretty essential. Have to check out Duckduckgo privacy essentials ... never heared from it ;) Thanx for the tip!

    You're quite welcome. Considering Duckduckgo is known for
    their privacy search engine I would think their browser
    plugin would be decent as well.

    I've used DuckDuckGo occasionally by specifically going to
    their site to start some searches. But I just configured my FF
    browser to default to DDG - and see how things go.

    Glad you decided to hop in. This messaging world of echomail
    is pretty good. Paired up with a good reader/editor, finding|marking|replying is a much nicer experience than trying
    to follow (or find) a particular message on a Facecrook group.

    Forums are ok, but they require a live connection to
    participate in any way. Whereas, offline reading and editing
    is much less stressful.

    Or you can use lynx and view the source. That may help as

    I'm not too overly concerned anymore about short links. It's
    been about 20 yrs now since TinyUrl launched. Weren't they the
    first with that idea? Anyway.. They've built a vetting process
    into them and block links that have nefarious purposes.

    The only thing I won't do is click on a short link from
    unsoliced email or if something arrives from someone I do not
    know.

    I have to wonder if that or a similar technique was used to be
    the vector for inviting the ransomeware that shut down the east
    coast pipeline.

    Krebbs article "A Closer Look at the DarkSide Ransomware Gang
    May 11, 2021" talks about the end result of that, but I wonder
    what the vector was for infection.

    This is a pretty good article that examines the techinal
    tricks:

    https://securityintelligence.com/posts/darkside-oil-pipeline- ransomware-attack/

    "A favorite entry point appears to be connecting via RDP on
    port 443 typically routing via a TOR browser."

    And.. I did not know that VPNs and Linux were not immune:

    "The malware can attack both Windows and Linux environments,
    making enterprise servers just as `encryptable' as an
    employee's endpoint. DarkSide can also attack virtual machines
    and encrypt data on their hard drives."

    Apparently all the activity of making backups is no guarantee
    that you could just ignore the ransomeware attack and just
    restore an ealier backup. Apparently, the "attack" lurks in
    the background for an amount of time that might represent a
    typical schedule for several backups - so, when it comes time
    to use a previous backup, all those backups will have already
    have copies of the infection.

    I thought that was just a way to prevent your pc from caching/
    logging your own activity. I don't see how that would work to
    aide protecting you from a malicious tinyurl.
