One additional clarification about links that older folks might not understand: look at the url BEFORE the first slash. That’s the one that matters. I’ve seen fishing where they have the wrong url but the correct one is after that first slash, which just points to another page on the wrong website. So “www.subsstack.com/substack.com” is NOT okay because whatever comes before that first slash determines the website that you will be taken to.

Always look at the address that comes before the very first slash.

Thank you! The "look it up if you are interested in it" bit is how I have dealt with the net for years. I don't click stuff that I'm not positive of. It's just good net hygiene. Your post needs to be bounced all over the internet and maybe some people will be safer.

Good article sir, VERY good article.

Thank You! I wish I had seen this 2 weeks ago, before I got an email that told me I was hacked and they got my info from my Substack account. They wanted $2,000 in bitcoin or they would provide private information about webpages I have been looking at.

First I laughed and wanted to tell them go ahead, my family and friends would laugh to think I was watching porn.

Second, I have no idea what or how a bitcoin was if I did feel the need to pay them.

Third, I was pissed! It's taken me over 2 weeks to get my bank accounts straightened out. I did not reply to them, but I did cut and paste the email and send it to the FCC for fraud. I am all about accountability.

I'm usually pretty careful about not opening links, so I don't know how they got in.

I actually was thinking about posting this when I saw your post. Thanks again.

Thanks, Wolfe, appreciate the great tutorial. So the movie Hackers was actually about you? How cool (well, awful for you but cool)

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

lol that movie was ridiculous and just as fake as the matrix in the way it depicts how hackers actually operated back then

Terry O’Reilly's avatar

I know, I know, but still over it as much as I love The Matrix. Let me have the fantasy- need it these days

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

what did you think the of the 4th one?

Terry O’Reilly's avatar

Meh. But still Matrix. What can I say? I have no refined taste in my mindless entertainment choices

Should have let him stay dead instead of the stupid resurrection story but I am a sucker for Keanu Reeves movies

I mean, i won't say I 'hated' it... it had potential but i hated the new female lead. total woke pandering for the 'modern audience'. i'm good on the dyed hair, kung fu lesbian window washer turned superhero for 'vibes' crap.

i DID like the part where he was just a game developer making a sequel to an older successful game called the matrix and thought he was losing his mind. if the ENTIRE movie had been just him dealing with mental health, having flashbacks to the first three movies, and trying to decide if he was fucking nuts or not... that would have been a FAR better film but the studio had to turn it into... dead dude and his dead girlfriend come back from the dead to become super jesus and super mary and fly around for 30 seconds as the credits roll. the ending was ridiculous. I mean what was even the point? they are STILL in the matrix, the death cult robots STILL rule a destroyed earth. they succeeded in doing literally NOTHING but hooking up.

Super choice. Take a break, you deserve it 🙂

Wise Wolf, I informed you April 2 that my antivirus software keeps notifying me that your website "has been detected with suspicious activity. It is not recommended to continue browsing this website." I subscribe to numerous Substacks, and have never had this issue with others, yet I lack the understanding why my browser extensions would select Wise Wolf as 'suspicious'.

Be advised, as of this am, I am no longer receiving this notification from my antivirus software when I open your Substack. Did your actions solve this problem?
