alt Hacker NewsWow. The screenshot had the IP address exactly where I placed my finger to scroll, and iOS Safari briefly opened a popup window where it started connecting to that IP.
Fuck this shit, I’m moving to a hovel in the woods.

It’s in a private Ip range so unless you’re inside Iran you’re fine.

Agree it's a stupid default but you can (and imo should) turn off link previews in iOS
Along the same lines, I occasionally find myself cursing iOS for its willingness to just bring up the dialer and call a number. I really, really wish that it would confirm any dialing before doing it, especially if you didn't click on a phone number on a contact. Couple times I've ended up dialing a recent spam caller, which is the last thing I ever want to do.
