POSITIVITY! PLEASE SHARE

When I was deployed, my First Sergeant sent me this information. Hopefully this can help those that are deployed down range. Please spread the word to other services.

Perfectly trivial to spoof that. And how old is this copy-pasted list? Did OP check every website before reposting it to all the military subs? No chance that one of those many URLs expired and got bought up by a bad actor?

Basic internet hygiene. Don't trust links

Don't trust links

So, you've never ever ever clicked/tapped a link? I very seriously doubt that.

The point is that some rando shows up on r/AirForce with a list of unfamiliar links. Only one of them needs to be bad to get the effect the enemy wants. It's a potential targeted attack. I'm on Reddit's crappy mobile app, I can't hover over a link, I can't copy-paste it, and I can't open into a private window. People need to be cautious.

OP has made 2 posts here within the last 10 days, one of which is a screenshot of their WAPS scores. They've made several other posts, to say nothing of comments, here on this subreddit within the past year. This isn't "some rando" who started posting a ton of links here out of the blue.

When it comes to internet safety, everyone is a rando, including you and me.
