    I’m not talking about the title but the actual page the post links to. But your idea to mark the URL as edited is great.

    Or always crosscheck the hyperlink in title or body with an open-source malicious site database and flag all malicious sites once and for all?

    the internet is in flux. once and for all is not possible.
