In some spots last month I didn’t put the publication, so I’ve also fixed that in this update.
Companies and services
I’ve added one new service to the list after doing some consoling about it.
| Company or service name | Description of company or service |
|---|---|
| Expand Shortened URL’s | This service allows you to expand shortened links from all kinds of services like goo.gl, is.gd, bit.ly and others. It will show you where the final destination of a link goes to. It will not tell you whether it is safe, although it does have Google Safe Browsing alerts available to you. Use this in conjunction with Virus Total to determine if a link is safe. If you trust where the URL is pointing to alone, great! If you still have questions, use Virus Total’s URL checker. We’ve seen expand url say that it is safe according to google safe browsing, but 2 products from Virus Total may say it is malicious or spam. A link to Virus Total is in this list and is highly recommended. |
Terms
We have no new terms for people today. But, please feel free to check out the entire list and send me terms that you think might need defining. We may add one after this week’s update, but I still need to look up the topic and get it in to notation form before I decide to list it.
