How Cutt.ly (cutt.ly) Redirection Works
Cutt.ly is a widespread link shortening platform. Because it provides free aliases and analytics, spammers and phishing operators often wrap credential harvesting links in cutt.ly short URLs to evade spam filters.
IncogSay submits a headless edge probe request to cutt.ly, isolates the HTTP 301/302 Location header, and performs automated reputation and threat analysis on the destination hostname.
