minus-squaremergingapples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoHello, I am apparently an idiot. What is wrong with that IP address that people can tell it’s an immediate phishing scam?
minus-squareTurious@leaf.dancelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoIP addresses can’t have segment numbers going over 255.
