🔗 How to Tell if a Link Is Safe Before You Click
Posted: July 3, 2025
We’ve all received strange links — from emails, text messages, or even WhatsApp groups. But how do you know if a link is safe or a trap?
🚨 Why You Should Be Careful
Malicious links can lead to fake websites, steal your login info, or automatically download malware. Just one wrong click can compromise your phone or computer.
🧠 How to Spot a Suspicious Link
- Check the URL: Is it misspelled? Like "faceboook.com" instead of "facebook.com"?
- Hover Before Clicking: On computers, hover your mouse over the link to preview where it goes.
- Too Urgent? Links that say “act fast!” or “your account will be locked” are red flags.
- From a Stranger? Don’t trust links from unknown contacts — even if the message sounds personal.
