How I Accidentally Made My Link Shortener into a Malware Honeypot
A couple years ago a client asked me for their own URL shortener service. I found YOURLS (https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS) and reluctantly installed it on a cheap, shared, hosting account.
Thankfully after a couple years, I convinced them (it took several tries) to use a 3rd party hosted provider.
Bullet dodged.
