Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The website "www.cloaklinks.com", which claims it is an affiliate link cloaker, currently should not be trusted. The suspicious website collects sensitive information, but doesn't provide a secure connection, which is used by legitimate companies to protect their users information.
A secure website starts with "https", instead of the standard unsecured "http". And, every legitimate website that deals with personal and financial information must have a secure connection (https://) that is used to protect its users information when it is transmitted over the internet. Once such website doesn't possess a secure connection, it should not be trusted.
