That's true. You have to trust the source(s) of the URL.

I compared my real ahmia (msydqstlz2kzerdg.onion) to the fake one. I
scanned them and detected the difference. The fake ahmia changes URLs to
point to fake services.

BTW, the attacker removed the fake version of Ahmia! It seems that the
attacker didn't like my active countermeasures.

Peace,
Juha
