Bit.ly Links
miyucomics opened this issue · 5 comments
domain-list.json has some bit.ly links that aren't Discord phishing sites. For example, http://bit.ly/31kj5qa is a movie pirating website that has nothing to do with Discord. http://bit.ly/3cuiog5 is a random picture of a video camera taken on November 19th, 2021 an hour and a minute before midnight. The other bit.ly links are down, returning a 404 error if you try to visit them.
I feel like link shorteners shouldn't be allowed to be added to domain-list.json since they don't have a tie with Discord phishing, can be taken down, and are also just inconvenient for anyone using this dataset. I am making a program that loops through the list and writes down any scams that are still active, and link shorteners are an unnecessary pain. Why not add the website they redirect to, instead of the link?
BitLy links are sometimes used to hide scam domains. so they obv will be added. It can be that the redirects change after some time so if you notice your very welcome to remove them (pls provide proof)
We can't just use the enddomain, since its about detecting those links in messages.
Also it doesn't matter if the domains are used or at the moment or linking to a invalid location since they where/will be used for scamming on discord.
Why this isn't closed yet?
I close this issue since everything is clarified
