Cybersecurity observers are warning about a possible phishing attempt hiding behind a to.lk short link, defanged so readers do not accidentally click it. The warning includes a link to an UrlDNA scan analysing the destination. Short links are a common way scammers disguise malicious destinations, and researchers routinely share them this way to raise awareness and help others verify suspicious URLs.
Why now: Infosec researchers are actively sharing and analysing a new suspicious short link as part of ongoing phishing warnings.
