Unsubscribe links can lead to malicious websites

Clicking "unsubscribe" links in emails poses a security risk, potentially leading to malicious websites, according to a recent report. Cybercriminals are exploiting unsubscribe links to confirm active email addresses, using them to track activity or redirect users to phishing sites. Data indicates that a significant number of these links lead to harmful destinations. Experts advise caution, suggesting users let their email clients handle unwanted messages to avoid falling victim to these scams. This helps protect against credential theft and other malicious activities.
