When you click on this link you will see a text that says 'ok'

But when you try to connect to the main website

https://sts.api.io.mi.com

You will see that it doesn't even exist!

Who could be using such a secret way to communicate?

It's an http protocol get request to an api server. There is no landing page set up on those servers, so no www directory or server, and no index/home file. They are not meant for public exploration, they are a server that is directing information to users who load their program into their javascript files/elements, or server-side scripts.

Being that it gave an OK message, it is either being used for testing, or an error caused by an unforeseen interaction.

can you help me with something similar

[AlperEngin93]

Nice to know that. Are you an expert on computers? :)

[youngmix]

@d3n0939 What is it?

[youngmix]

Yes. A kind of professional and academic.

Good insight, I was not keen on trying that kind of link for security reasons.

Only if it is not OK every time. If you see Yes, no, or maybe it is probably terrorists communicating.

[ArtemisSilver]

Hmm a weird link on the internet... Better click it lol

[Blueeyes81]

Better stock up on tinfoil. There is about to be a shortage.
