bit.ly addresses don't keep their URL in the address bar (Eg. http://bit.ly/19y8wyr http://bit.ly/19y8wyr for HN), so it's possible you might not notice it once

bit.ly addresses don't keep their URL in the address bar (Eg. http://bit.ly/19y8wyr http://bit.ly/19y8wyr for HN), so it's possible you might not notice it once you've clicked, depending on how realistic the malicious target URL was.
