You might want to read the 'Context' section.
> The url is a redirect chain to a phishing site
Tinyurl was only the entry point~ -
ElectroArchiver3115209d@catgirldev I could just link you the repo so you would be able to take a look at the mess as well, do you want it?
-
Nanos11872209dHow do you know its a phishing site ?
It might just be someone who ( Like me.. ) collects drivers and sticks them in a folder for other folk to find when they need one ! -
ElectroArchiver3115209d@Nanos
There are no drivers, only the same link 1000+ times redirecting you through 3 different hosts to a phishing site. -
ElectroArchiver3115209d@Jifuna Well I guess any platform would do, but yeah, hope it will be gone soon~
-
Jifuna3815209dTrue true, i wouldn't make a difference for a tech illiterate. Interested what kind of driver you were looking for tho?
-
ElectroArchiver3115209d@Jifuna I would love to learn about them, though I haven't found a good resource yet..
-
Jifuna3815209d@ElectroArchiver I could send you a tinyurl? :P. Jk, not my field of expertise, have worked a while as a tech support for old people and print drivers always were a pain in the ass.

melezorus343772208d@catgirldev can I haz that access as well? I come across dumb phishing sites time to time.
fortiguard accepts my submissions asap at this point but again, not everyone uses fortiguard

Context:
- The url is a redirect chain to a phishing site
- Repo is completely empty except for a single folder with 1000+ files all named after drivers, with the same 'download' link, and probably scraped website text at the bottom (probably to increase searchability)
- The 'user' joined just a couple days ago and has no other repos
