remove shortened URLs from ArchivesSpace due to security risk #456

Closed regineheberlein closed 7 months ago

regineheberlein commented 7 months ago

User story

@Will-Clements has recently become aware of URLs that pose a security risk and give a warning when clicked on. We want to remove them.

"URL shorteners can become targets for cybercriminals. If a popular or widely used service is compromised, attackers can exploit it to distribute malware or launch widespread attacks, affecting a large number of users."

Source of the data to be imported or updated

These are in ArchivesSpace in the Existence and Location of Copies notes.

Implementation notes, if any

These were created using tinyurl and other services. We want to delete them outright. There are no examples to go by. The best example is to look at MC147. Will deleted those but they can still be examined in SVN.
