#162Real evil would be a kind of reverse-psychology: 1. Make a site like this. 2. Wait for people to try it out with an URL that goes to a significant site (bank, social media, email, etc.) 3. Allow a bit of normal use, then secretly switch the link so that further visitors land on a corresponding phishing site. 4. Having just dismissed a bunch of "obviously fake" warning signs, people may be less alert when real ones ar…

#164I put in my own domain name, and got a link on the https://cheap-bitcoin.online domain. Then I sent the full url it gave me to VirusTotal, and one site reported it as malware! Hilarious, this is great.

In Europe there are legitimate and extremely established services that require you to input your bank login details into something other than your bank's website. It's madness.
There's no legitimate case for that since PSD2 (mandatory since 2020). Are you not confused by that? PSD2 doesn't share your credentials. I'm an European and have never needed to use nor encountered those services.

That seems to be the best possible strategy for any feedback you have to give as a captive audience? Reminds me of the feedback German companies are forced to give about their employees. It's like a formal letter of reference, but you can and will be sued if you you anything negative. Consequences ar…
> And because there has been an inflation in how complimentary these letters are, people started suing when their letter wasn't flowery enough, because that somehow could be read as an implicit criticism. You got a source for this folktale?

#169Ah no need, corporate IT already make all URLs malicious looking through some microsoft "secure link" service, and constantly shows everyone shady looking prompts that constantly change and have cmd.exe windows flash in at random. A phone call from Microsoft about my Norton anti-virus subscription putting me into debt that can only be settled with Nintendo gift cards bought in cash across 16 specific gas stations see…

It's possible an attacker might say: "My first pet's name is random gibberish", and the person on the other end goes: "Yep, that's what it says." I'm not sure how many companies that would happen at, but it seems... just dumb enough to be plausible.
1Password’s default for secret questions is a sequence of English words, rather than random gibberish.
