Only the hottest memes in Cybersecurity
A girl In had a crush on sent me the AlbinoBlackSheep "you are an idiot" site that caused a bunch of pop ups. Then she kept sending me links and funny videos and I got all indignant and annoyed because I thought all AlbinoBlackSheep links would be the "you are an idiot" thing.
Upon further review 20 years later she may have been flirting with me.
Anyway that's why I clicked the scam phishing link, boss.
Rickrolling didn't teach us that, 2g1c made us cautious of clicking random links
'twas goatse that taught a young me to be more careful on the internet.
Goatse and tub girl. And I was a whole ass adult who really needed to learn.
Don't forget meat spin!
Between 2g1c, goatse, and lemon party, I learned to always triple check every link I even think of clicking on.
If you really don’t want to see something super fucked up don’t google india train victim NSFL
Cmon old people having sex is like wholesome, they are alive and happy, it is eye bleach after train stuff. I saw India train thing weeks ago and the video is still in my head
XcQ it's staying blue.
Say, isn't there an xkcd about that? https://xkcd.com/2633/?
Damn I was hoping the actual #2633 was gonna be relevant
It's about Astronomer Hotlines. But there actual xkcds that at least mention rickrolling, why not use one of them?
Y'know, that probably would have been better, but it was late at night and I just wanted to seize the opportunity.
god dammit
Oh lawd. I gotta enable linl previews.
Nope. I love that song.
Edit: Know what? I'm going to listen to it right now!
A rare self-rick-roll.
It's a catchy song. Here's an acapella cover by Home Free:
I just realized that I'm unable to remember the melody rn. I've heard the song a thousand times...
It sounds a bit like Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.
KnowBe4, a popular phishing simulation tool, actually has a built-in rickrolling template.
But are entirely defeated if you make a rule in outlooks saying trash any email that contains knowb4 in the header.
Not only do you pass all phishing tests, but you also don't get spammed by them when renewal comes around.
Phishme is the same. Add a rull saying trash as my email containing phishme.com in the header.
The emails aren't from KnowBe4. They are from your HR or CEO or IT department. The links themselves are obvious on the hover though.
Goatse. I'm old.
Yeah, links used to be way more dangerous
Her arms it's unusually long...
That's why you're never gonna give her up.
Yeah is giving vibes as shower thoughts by slender(wo)man
Spooky lady.
Child you know not how good you have it with your Richard Roll.
Goatse.
Stealth edit: lemon party.
Tub girl.
My least favorite thing about the Lemmy community is that people hide the URLs.
Yeah, you can hover on a computer, yeah, you can change the real URL to something else, however
No bad stop :( You're supposed to be old people, act like you grew up when people were scared of random poisoned links
Some clients show link previews. I use voyager and get previews for all the links at the end of each comment with URL and link text shown. That's especially useful when people add links to a single letter which would be hard to hit otherwise
No, I still click random links to this day.
Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.
Ironically, link previews can help avoid Rick rolls but can hurt security because the link needs to be looked at to generate the preview. If it exploits some flaw (rather than being a phishing thing) or just wants to track if the link has been loaded or grab the IP, then you don't even get to choose to not click it to avoid that.
No, Goatse did that.
What is the worst could happen if I click on a random link on a brand new computer?
Edit: This should have a more or less concrete answer right? Maybe there is a competition with this idea?
Anyways here's a cute funny cat video for anyone who did get rickrolled in this thread so they can forget about it
Mostly. I had the cassette. I had the outfit. I click the links.
