People have tried to hijack PuTTY and WinSCP forever.

This landing page looks suspicious. Even though the HTML links look like they go back to the legit site (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty) I'm not clicking through to find out. There have been spoofing of links for 100's years.

Who cares if you click through or not? If you weren't too stupid (or just too much of an arsehole) to Google for the original site, you could have seen there that this is indeed legit.

Now take your "blood rage" back to your mother's basement gaming room where it belongs, and come back here in ten years or however long it takes you to grow out of your teens. If ever.

Browsers have been giving you the ability to view what the actual link URL is since forever.

		There is the homograph attack, but browsers do their best to mitigate it nowadays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack

		Browsers have also been giving websites the ability to do something completely different on click since forever unless you disable javascript.

Yes, the domain was suspicious to me too, but the legit site links back to it.

To be fair, the WinSCP website looks like a scam site.
