Title: About the Google Docs Links on Forum and Reddit!! Post by: ardacik on January 18, 2017, 06:57:48 AM Hello;
For the last one week, I see lots of Google docs links on the forum. What is the point of that?? Is that a virus or something like that? Thank you!

But you should always scan the links for anything suspicious before visiting them. Title: Re: About the Google Docs Links on Forum and Reddit!! Post by: jacee on January 18, 2017, 02:59:03 PM Hello; I only see these google docs in a bounty campaign thread (ie. signature campaign, twitter, social media, etc.) There really isn't that much compared to the number of topics here.For the last one week, I see lots of Google docs links on the forum. What is the point of that?? Is that a virus or something like that? Thank you! Like jhanzo said, there's nothing to worry about. Title: Re: About the Google Docs Links on Forum and Reddit!! Post by: actmyname on January 18, 2017, 10:27:50 PM Make sure that it's not a fake link with a redirect to anything that may appear to be a google spreadsheet (or anything you may trust/enter your password into) by hovering over the hyperlink or quoting the post.
Example: https://google.com (https://bitcointalk.org/) which is actually Code: [url=https://bitcointalk.org/]https://google.com[/url] This was an issue that was brought up about phishing attempts via a site whose url was similar to bitcointalk.
