i was just looking for some risks and possible threat to someone's btt profile ! i found this! as an android user (not sure about ios devices) it's so much hard to identify the difference! I don't use the btt often so it's so much hard for me to detect! is there any solution to this? like filtering out the phishing site and ban them from btt? so that no one could use that link in btt forum and get a warning for using them
If you can't even see the link because it's hidden somewhere in the post, it's unlikely you would even click on it. How would it even happen? You would have to click on every word, character, and empty space to find the hidden hyperlink. No one does that.
If Bitcointalk had some sort of database with known phishing links, it would need to be a work in progress that has to be constantly updated and maintained by someone. Hackers, scammers, and thieves aren't resting and are creating new sites and ways to attack people daily. If the forum banned sites 1-100, they can just create new ones.
Besides, there already is some sort of script that recognizes unwanted links and domains. I have seen links being broken with the message "
suspicious link removed".
