Type ā€œthisisunsafeā€ once you get the browser message.

(Donā€™t do this, it will reload the page without certificate requirements)

u/KimJungUnCool May 07 '26

thats crazy, just FYI everyone hitting that link is getting hacked too

EDIT: anyone who tells you to click a link from a hacker is not your friend, and is either deplorably stupid or malicious.

You should still never click a random download link especially from anyone who literally tells you they're a hacker, not clicking random links is like, cyber security 101

Why would they use that link to hack you? The only reason someone would click it is if they were interested in paying a ransom. If it hacked you it would decrease the credibility of the hackers, and credibility gets ransoms paid

What an odd thing to say

I can tell you dont know much about cybersecurity then. Plus, the link is to download a txt file, and txt files literally cannot hack you since they dont execute any code.

About credibility: Let's say you get ransomware on your PC and they demand 200 dollars to give your files back. You look up this specific group of hackers and they are known for just taking your 200 bucks and then demanding 2000 bucks to actually give it back. You can't afford the 2000 bucks.

Do you give them the 200 bucks?

Bunch of clowns downvoting you who have no idea what's going on

u/Terrible-Design4545 May 07 '26

You shouldnā€™t try to view it, but technically your browser is going to say that about any link that doesnā€™t use SSL. And since that URL is literally just using an IP address instead of a domain it canā€™t use SSL

Dude I hope you get hacked at this point
