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.
If you really donโt want to see something super fucked up donโt 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
You seem to miss where I said header not from field.
The emails originate from knowb4 or phishme servers and customers whitelist those servers from anti spam/phishing/url inspection to minimise the false positives.
The knowb4 and phishme have their names in as part of the email ehlo exchange and are written into the header for tracking.
Double click the email to open the email into a new window, in the tags panel of the ribbon there is a little arrow pointing to the bottom right, click it and a new box opens. the bottom of that box contains the headers and transaction details of the specific email.
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
Oh dang really? My only other experience besides Safari is an old Samsung phone that could detect your finger hovering over the screen and preview the link. That was a neat feature.
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.
Eh, you just have to adapt. Rickrolls hidden in valid seeming content, redirects from innocuous looking links, and just link shorteners can all obfusicate the actual content.

Hot and funny single ladies from the 90s in your area, that love to talk about old internet nostalgia. So what are you waiting for?! Come join us.
That song will forever be in my head
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.

XcQ it's staying blue.
Say, isn't there an xkcd about that? https://xkcd.com/2633/?
๐ง
Remember him?
This is him now. Feel old yet?
What is that client? Is it FOSS?
yeah its Voyager
Man it looks so good but it's JavaScript. I was almost tempted.
OK? Itโs just a programming language ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Yea I'm also a js developer and I try to use js products as less as possible. Just a me thing.
Damn I was hoping the actual #2633 was gonna be relevant
Link previews ftw
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.
2633, kick them in the pp.
They have a point.
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_nRCCD0j-k
I just realized that I'm unable to remember the melody rn. I've heard the song a thousand times...
https://youtu.be/A7xvRqnBRcY
It sounds a bit like Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.
The internet is never gonna give you up
Goatse. I'm old.
Yeah, links used to be way more dangerous
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.

I'm not seeing the header in Microsoft Outlook. At least the web version. I would love to filter these.
Its an ass to get to in desktop outlook

Child you know not how good you have it with your Richard Roll.
Goatse.
Stealth edit: lemon party.
Tub girl.
Her arms it's unusually long...
Yeah is giving vibes as shower thoughts by slender(wo)man
That's why you're never gonna give her up.
Spooky lady.
And her index finger looks fatter than her thumb. Either that or she has a cloven hand. Methinks AI
I can't find the source on mobile but this image existed looooong before genAI was a thing.
That's even weirder!
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

Most phone browsers will give you a link preview if you press and hold on a link.
You mean Safari right?
Because I havenโt seen this feature elsewhere, not mobile firefox nor chrome.
Oh dang really? My only other experience besides Safari is an old Samsung phone that could detect your finger hovering over the screen and preview the link. That was a neat feature.
My bad, I havenโt used a Samsung phone as of yet.
Doesnโt Samsung have their own browser?
Are there any others?
It works for me on mobile Firefox (version 128.0.3).
I was going to attach a screenshot, but that doesn't seem to be working.
Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.

No, I still click random links to this day.
I have memorised the dqw4 part of the link so I know not to click it
Good thinking. But now I'm afraid that I just memorized something that I don't need to know. Also, the Dairy Queen uses W4 instead of WD40.
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.
