… The iPad had already shown me that the displayed address and the actual hyperlink were the same.

What don’t you get ?

Ah … that was the bit that didn't come across to me. I thought you were simply assuming that they were the same..

Sorry ….. I'll go fall on my #49 drill.

That’s something that I try very hard to avoid doing with anything potentially capable of ruining my day life.

No problem … we’re on the same page now

I still use Eudora (yep). It becomes very vocal if links don't match the underlying strings.

 

 

P.S. ___ Check this out : **LINK**

Ouch !!

 

Was there something specific at that link?

 

(Apparently we can do inline responses now. When did that happen?).

No … Just the fact of it happening, and scale of the damage done

I thought it was interesting, and perhaps relevant in the context of the need to always be vigilent.

… evidently not.

Sorry …. didn't see the link at the top. Distracted by the splash screen immediately under it and was looking for the link there. Duh.

However ….real-time response …. the link still doesn't go anywhere for me. Just brings me back to the same page. Maybe I should get some sleep?

Try going down to the lower left area of the page, and clicking ‘latest staff faqs’ … it should open this page: **LINK**

Thanks, Michael – got there. That is indeed scary.

About as scary as the fact that, on this side of the (big) pond, the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency – aka The Tax Man) got hacked about a week ago.
