Thunderbird plugin to unmangle Outlook Protection Safelinks
Based upon https://github.com/mbattersby/unmangleOutlookSafelinks Original version by mib@post.com
Users of Office365 who have Advanced Thread Protection enabled wil change all url's in emails to redirect them to an Microsoft filter before opening. This will leak information to microsoft and makes it impossible to see if the original url was safe to open.
E.g. a link to http://phishingsite.fake.ru/you/are/hacked.php wil show as https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fphishingsite.fake.ru%2Fyou%2Fare%2Fhacked.phpdata=02%7C01%7Csender.mail%40domain.tld%7C8177af7905a4406ecae208d5dc1fb7c9%7C87c50b582ef2423da4dbaedde7c84efcfa%7C0%7C0%7C63453351150545403&sdata=Te0O1xGxxxULxdzbxQ%2xxxyql2QjTt4Ken%2F00JB%2BV%2FPUA%3D&reserved=0
and will not be recogniosed by a user as dangerous.
This also inherently introduces the ability to do:
- Man-in-the-middle
- Tracking of user clicks
- Possibly a lot of (unnecessary) redirects
- Lack of readability.
This plugin wil change the url back to the original value.
You should not trust me and you should definitely not install this plugin.
