Lately I received a number (phishing) mails from a bank asking for
confirmation. In the message, there was a URL:

https://www1.royalbank.com/cgi-bin/r...ntSign&LANG=EN

However, when I moved my mouse pointer to the beginning on the URL, at
the bottom of the screen, it showed the following instead.

http://163.23.70.201/http/www1.royal...tSign&LANG=EN/

First of all, the link seems not using SSL (http instead of https).
Secondly, when I pinged 163.23.70.201, there was no response.

I hesitate to click on the https:// link.

Could someone help me understand what is it all about? Any info is
much appreciated.
