Security & Phishing Disclaimer

mportant Security Notice

Pocorny.com provides a technology platform for URL shortening, bio profile creation, and QR code generation. We are a neutral service provider and do not create, control, or endorse the destination of links, bio profiles, or QR codes generated by our users.

The fundamental nature of our service involves converting long URLs into shortened links. While this provides legitimate benefits for tracking and sharing, it can also be exploited by malicious actors to conceal phishing websites, scams, malware, and other harmful content.

User Responsibility and Caution

Exercise extreme caution when clicking on ANY shortened link or scanning ANY QR code, including those from pocorny.com domains.

Security Guidelines:

  • Verify Sources: Be suspicious of unsolicited messages containing shortened links, especially those received via email, text, or social media that create urgency, offer unexpected rewards, or threaten consequences

  • Check Before Clicking: If you receive a shortened link from a known contact but the context seems unusual, verify through a separate communication channel before clicking

  • Inspect Links: On desktop browsers, hover your mouse over a link to see the destination URL in the browser's status bar (though this will still show a Pocorny domain)

  • Use Preview Tools: Consider using online link expansion services to reveal the destination of shortened URLs without direct clicking

  • Protect Information: Never enter passwords, financial details, or other sensitive information on websites reached through shortened links unless you're absolutely certain of their legitimacy and security (look for "https://" and a padlock icon)
