Ever try to solve something and search online?
If so, ever get sooooo used to a service name that if you discover a reputable-looking source, you would immediately click on the hyperlinked name?
This is something not good at all, alas. ![]()
Awhile back, I had the wonderful opportunity to search out an answer to some obscure bit of crypto stuff, and discovered a page that had the following name
Chainlist
hyper-linked. Now, the official site is
but this particular page, instead of using a .org, used a .wtf .
Incredible.
And if one looked at the site (I did), one would see … some rather nefarious thingees indeed!
Your takeaway?
Always check the links you consider clicking on, even via respectable-looking pages…
The money you save might be your own.
Enjoy!
