Is Wannabe Beauty Guru a phishing website? part 2
I have had to edit my OP as a reddit responder said that the board was not run by WBG (who runs it then) but that the redirect is something called a favicon. POSTNOTE-someone replied to this comment which I can no longer reply to as I had to block the OP however the reply person said this is a favicon which if you look up "favicon" on wikipedia, the criticism for it is that these links (which the OP provided in her post) are "part of phishing or eavesdropping attacks against HTTPS web pages" and "Since favicons are usually located at the root of the site directory on the server, they can be employed with some reliability to disclose whether a web client is logged into a given service. This works by making use of the redirect-after-login feature of many websites, by querying for the favicon in a redirect-after-login URL and testing the server response to discern whether the user is given the requested resource (which means they are logged in), or instead redirected to the login page (which means that they are not logged into the service". I am not tech savvy at all and am new to the reddit platform but something doesnt seem right to me and would love your feedback if you know what any of this means.
