Hackers managed to hijack some 2.2 million links posted through the URL shortening service Cligs, redirecting the links to a single page.
This will only get worse: URL-shortening services are abuse magnets, and none of them have the enormous resources that it would take to detect and remedy that abuse before it becomes rampant. So even if we credit them with the best of intentions (and mostly, I don't) they're going to fail. ---Rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
