What if a spammer used this? You send out spam emails with a one time link in it (per recipent). The recipient views the spam link sees the spam content and either (a) purchases or (b) spam reports
If they spam report the report tries to view the link but sees it is no longer there.
Not saying specifically with your service, but a spammer could setup something of his own like this and when a link is viewed a second time they could put up a fake this page has been reported for spamming etc.
- Mandatum 14y agoA spammer wouldn't need to set up this service for this. They could easily do it on their own server which would be easier and more adaptable. Whereas I'm sure this has CAPTCHA or some other protection for generating multiple URL's.
- delano 14y agoIt's certainly possible but there are solutions to mitigate that style usage. Spam is only profitable in bulk so they'd constantly be hitting our limiters which won't really make it worthwhile. Also the content in the secrets in served as plain text so that diminishes the quality of the payload too (the recipient would have to copy & paste the URI). Edit: by the way, Mandatum, not sure why from your few comments but you're hellbanned so they come up dead.
