Risks of Targeted Phishing, META Terms of Service Changes, and CDN Security Concerns
The chapter covers the dangers of targeted phishing, META's controversial decision to alter their terms of service for AI training, and the risks associated with loading JavaScript libraries from untrustworthy CDNs. It discusses the polyfill CDN fiasco, where a Chinese company inserted malicious code into websites, prompting the original author of polyfill to suggest safer CDNs like Cloudflare and Fastly. The narrative also explores a service that replaces polyfill .io links with their CDN, offering virus scanning and content replacement on the fly to enhance website security.
