Explanation
OSU uses Microsoft's "Safe Links" feature to protect against known malicious websites. When you click on a link in a Microsoft document or email, the link will first be checked against a constantly-updated list of known malicious websites. If a malicious link is detected, you will not be able to visit the link.
