  As a fellow comp sci graduate (different uni, long time ago) that doesn’t fill me with a ton of confidence lol.

  This could actually be a study on phishing lol
  Or a less ethical study on virus propagation
  Or maybe he has just gone rogue and his university hasn’t noticed because they probably don’t actually monitor what students are hosting very closely, as long as it’s not causing problematic network traffic.\

  I doubt it, but I’m still not gonna click a link that someone is asking me to click lol

    If you’re that vulnerable to shady URLs, you may want to rework your blockers or even spin up a VM. If you’re that venerable you phishing, just don’t give them your numbers.

        Can’t limit yourself to twitter, facebook and google. Hell, I think those sites are the riskier ones.
