The popularity of Twitter has given rise to so-called tiny URL links, often used in Tweets to refer to articles or photos uploaded online. These are links no longer than 30 letters compared to traditional spam links which can run at least 50 letters. "To some people, small or tiny URL links look more legitimate than longer links. However, they can actually hide suspect links from people who know what to look for," said Lloyd Borrett, marketing manager at AVG. Borrett said online criminals have cottoned on to the fact that tiny URL links get them more click rates, driving more people to go straight to malicious web pages. There are ways to guard against an online attack, including the free standalone program from anti-virus tech firm, AVG. The firm's AVG LinkScanner can scan the final web page in real-time to check if it is dodgy or not. Michelle Baltazar Related Articles |
