So there's some misinfo on fxtwitter being hacked and being dangerous to use going around right now and it's just a perfect example of the lack of technological literacy in our age of technological saturation. If I taught comp sci I would talk about this day one to show the importance of the subject.
So first off, there are a few websites with "fx" in their name. You've probably seen people link to them on Discord before, I personally use fxtwitter a bunch. These are a bunch of unrelated websites made to fix embedded links.
One of these sites is "fxdeviantart", which recently had its domain expire. This lead to some people incorrectly believing that the site got "hacked". Nothing like that ever happened they probably just forgot to pay for the webhosting. However, people started spreading this misinformation and tacking bigger and bigger stakes to it.
Suddenly people are saying links to fxdeviantart will give you viruses which, to my knowledge, isn't even a major thing on the modern internet. You tend to see more general malware or just simple phishing far more often.
Then people started saying that the same thing applied to the site "fxtwitter". Fxtwitter is an entirely different website with entirely different owners. It is unrelated in all ways except function.
They then expanded that logic to say that the "FX prefix" was comprised, so using anything with it in the url was a danger to its users. There is no such thing as a formalized "prefix" when it comes to urls on the internet. Any prefix that might exist for a website's url is just an informal thing denoting some common trait. Most of the times it's just a vibe thing.
So basically, baseless misinfo based on a lack of technological understanding spread via people who could've figured out it was bull with a single google search any step along the way.
It's just really interesting to see this kinda stuff still spreading. Rumors so much like the stories spread on the internet when I was growing up. Of how just viewing a single sketchy webpage could brick your PC. Catastrophizing mental gymnastics over how a picture of goatse could steal your passwords. The internet safety equivalent of the rumors of the truck with Mew under it in the first Pokemon games.
You'd think increased technological saturation would've improved technological literacy, but no, people don't learn that shit on their own. People need to be taught that kinda sense of what is credible or not on the internet because otherwise it feels like it's a place where this kinda thing CAN happen despite it not really making sense.
