AWS transform medium security documentation change

Service: transform · 2025-08-25 · Security-related medium

File: transform/latest/userguide/transform-vmware-migrate-network.md

Summary

Updated RVTools links to point to Dell's official site and retained warning about scam site

Security assessment

The change addresses a security concern by correcting the official RVTools URL and explicitly warning about a scam site (rvtools.org), which helps prevent users from accessing malicious resources. This directly mitigates phishing risks.
