Where the link really goes

Digital Forensics & IR Difficulty Medium ~4 min +10 XP

A nurse at Meridian Health forwarded a payslip notice to the service desk because the wording felt off. The link in it points at a click tracker the marketing team genuinely uses, so the mail gateway let it through and the URL reputation check came back clean. That is the whole trick: the tracker is real, and the destination is parked inside one of its query parameters. Whoever built the mail did not want that parameter read at a glance, so they wrapped it in three layers before pasting it in. You have the value of the u parameter and a workbench. Peel it, read the address the click would have landed on, and submit the host.
