Default Re: How to shorten/create a link in signatrue.

just a note of caution, as i worked at a highly secure military facility for many years hyper links of all sorts.

short links open a vast door to the realm of the bad guys. no iff ands or butts. period.

always use caution especially with short links.

to be safe, always, right click, copy link location, open a new browser tab, paste the link location into the new tab browser bar and examine what you have. is it an actual link or some sort of executable.

if it looks like a valid link, let your browser try to find it. if it gives you nonsense, it was malicious and will give you nonsense.

if it looks like nonsense to begin with trash it.

in your sphere, there are site you can locate to test hyper links. look for them, book mark them and use them.

better safe that sorry
