([color=red]Forum warning: Possible phishing link![/color])

[pekv2]

Is this a new implementation of the forum? I've been seeing this lately today, from quite a different users. Or are posts edited by mods and adding it?

Code:

([color=red]Forum warning: Possible phishing link![/color])

(Forum warning: Possible phishing link!)

[nibor]

Yes I have one!
How do I get rid of it? I did not do anything wrong - it just appeared.

It's automatically done to posts.

This kind of link posting can trigger it:

Code:

[url=www.google.com]www.google.com[/url]

Links posted this way should be fine:

Code:

www.google.com

Awesome!

I made it so [url=x]x[/url] doesn't trigger a warning if x is exactly the same in both places.

Actually, I'm just going to remove that warning and make it so:
- [url=https://bitcointalk.org]https://bitcointalk.org[/url] becomes https://bitcointalk.org
- [url=www.google.com]www.google.com[/url] becomes www.google.com
- [url=http://www.google.com]www.google.com[/url] becomes www.google.com
- [url=http://phishing.org]https://bitcointalk.org[/url] becomes https://bitcointalk.org

- [url=http://phishing.org]https://bitcointalk.org[/url] becomes https://bitcointalk.org

So you are removing the url= xy option?
Could be a bit bothersome for really long links.
Maybe the warning for not matching links is the better option.

No. It only affects links where the link text would be automatically linkified even without [url]. In these cases, the [url] is either redundant or used to hide the true link destination.

How about:

Code:

[url=x]x[/url]

Gets automatically converted to:

Code:

[url]x[/url]

The issue is that these anti-phishing procedures may not be correct. For example, what about the following:

Remember to [url=mailto:me@mail.me]mail.me[/url] for more info!

Which is being converted to:

Remember to mail.me for more info!

Which breaks the link!

And also, the procedures can be circumvented by using http://google.com.

How about:

mtgox.com (Forum warning: Leads to google.com!)

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

You can get around it:

http://www.google.com

[rme]

https://www.google.com

[dree12]

You can get around it:

http://www.google.com

Even easier:

h​ttp://www.google.com/

And don't forget:

h​ttp://www.google.com/
