- Yeul 1y agoIf someone hacks my account and starts ordering stuff on bol it's not my problem but the company's so I don't sleep over it. The company doesn't care either because fraud is just the cost of doing business- ease of ordering> security.
- KingOfCoders 1y agoThe website is abc.com the link in the email is abc.com
- soiltype 1y agounless the product manager decided the link in the email is track.monkey.exe/sus/path/spyware?c=behhdywbsncocjdb&b=ndbejsudndbd&k=uehwbehsysjendbdhjdodj or something 2x–3x longer
- KingOfCoders 1y agoThe question was "How do you know the email comes from that website? " And the answer was, I can find out if the email is from abc.com by looking at the link, which should also be abc.com I don't click in "track.monkey.exe". I don't click tracking links. I pay a lot of money for my newsletter provider because I can turn off (most) tracking links.
- soiltype 1y agoThe question was framed that way but in fact this conversation isn't about your personal resistance to a particular scam vector. Many sites do offload 100% of their emailing to 3rd party trackers. Therefore nobody can use those sites without engaging in 3rd party tracking. Therefore these sites have created an environment favorable for this scam vector.

- kibwen 1y agoOr the email is rendered HTML, where the expected URL is used as the text for an anchor whose href is the malicious site.
- KingOfCoders 1y agoPro tip: Hover over the link an check the URL. Or look at the source.
- KingOfCoders 1y agoI don't click the link. Simple. Track someone else.
