Just saw this article. We agree with the dangers of phishing associated with insecure shortened links. We instituted restricted hashes for branded shortened URLs from day one. The default behavior for all free bit.ly Pro and premium bit.ly Enterprise accounts is to restrict the hash, ie. only hashes created by the user associated with the custom short domain are valid. All unintended/insecure hashes and phishing attempts will come up as 404s. Best, Greg Battle ======== Team bit.ly Hi guys.
