website redirect link from inside Listings Manager

[BriarMoonBeads]

hey all, don't know if anyone can shed light on this - I am vastly uneducated with regards to malware, hacking etc LOL 

So I was in my Listings Manager and clicked on the 'Marketing' tab via the side bar (laptop, MS Edge) - instead of opening the slide-out sub menu, it redirected me and opened a new tab. The URL was: 

go.lnk9d.com/link/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com&campaign_id=wpREBC9CVDeQsr81u1sMGy&zsb=v030400015105d6dc475ac187486b88a98ba9e60458aa&source=816a712ab258491b91b44a431db1d204 

The page was blank, but you can see there's a website in there (never heard of it) and an etsy campaign. Is this some weird internal coding error, or something more suspicious? Google has no results on what go.ink9d.com even is, but it was a little scary to be redirected from inside the system we trust to run our income streams. I had accessed etsy via my usual bookmark, so it's not some phishing stuff I followed from a bad link. It only did it once, now it's back to acting normal.

Hoping at least the Mods have any info on this, if not someone who just has experience/knowledge. Thanks!

Etsy support need to be contacted and investigate this issue

That link redirects to “www.awin1.com”.

Which is an Etsy affiliate Marketing Partner. IMO it’s prob just bug in Etsy’s code and NOT any kind of malware.

As stated before this could be an advert on a blog post for example. Google/ affiliates/ companies advertise in all sorts of ways, on email, on blog posts, social media, other websites etc the redirect links can be long

Ps. Your link goes to Etsy when I copy and paste

Thanks everyone - I'm used to etsy campaign links, but not from inside the listings manager, just clicking on 'marketing' which is supposed to open another nav menu, as it does now. A banner or publicity link sure, but not navigation. I've contacted support, waiting to hear back.

The go.lnk9d.com makes me think your computer or your browser might be infected with malware or similar

Did you fix it? the same thing happens to me.

[BriarMoonBeads]

@CustomPortrait123  no, and Etsy didn't get back to me about it (shocking). I was using Edge so I migrated over to Firefox and have had no problems since.

I think i solved this. Disabling an auto-refresh extension in Chrome.

It was probably a glitch, but just to be safe, I woud change your password and run a malware scan on your computer.
