Yes, every link is potentially malicious.

If you click a link, it's your problem. There is no software that will protect you from yourself.

I understand IB has focused heavily on the cyber security aspects of the forums- but links are another story. There have been times that I'd guess they've had to contend with Denial of Service attacks when we've had difficulty accessing the forums.

There are people who write a headline about an event, but only paste the link rather than the full story--those are the thinks IMO to be concerned about.

I simply don't click `em.
