[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1657393, member: 307555"] I was reflecting on what THE SAFE MAC article said - [I]"This PoC will execute the following command: rm -rf /Applications/MacKeeper.app;pkill -9 -a MacKeeper - .... this URL was hidden behind a shortened tinyurl.com URL. Such link shortening can easily be used to disguise a maliciously-crafted link, and has proven to be an effective method for tricking people into clicking on links that they otherwise would not."[/I] I guess I just have never been fond of them and the article simple points out my original concerns.
