minus-squaremergingapples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·2 months agoHello, I am apparently an idiot. What is wrong with that IP address that people can tell it’s an immediate phishing scam?
minus-squareTuriouslinkfedilinkarrow-up42·2 months agoIP addresses can’t have segment numbers going over 255.
