RE: PSA: Really good phishing attempts ongoing, be extra careful where you enter your keys!
Thank you for the post. Can you elaborate on not clicking links 'in posts' and how to avoid a bad link? The not clicking on emails is almost standard procedure now but a link ON Steemit would be something most of us would click. Is that what you were referring too?
There is a difference between 'on steemit' and 'in a post'.
I could right now in this comment put a link to superduperscam.com and you should not click on it. But for example the steem logo in the top left corner of the page is safe.
If you hover over a link, you can see where it will really take you on the bottom left corner of your browser window
(not necessarly true for cell phones), for example sometimes we make:pretty name link
some times we just paste the link:
http://steemit.com
But it is possible to trick you into
http://steemit.com
Hover over those links and find the one that will trick you into a different place.
It is just my profile, but a scammer can trick you into going to superduperscam.comLinks in articles are good because sometimes they take you a good article, or to the following article, or to other article that gives context, by hovering before clicking at least you can make sure that it is taking you to where is claiming to take you...
@patriot if you are still up to make those security series, this is something you might want to cover.
