Episode notes
Discord Bookmarklet Hack
- A programmer's Discord account was hacked despite four programmers watching.
- The culprit was a malicious bookmarklet disguised as a verification link.
Bookmarklet Security
- Be wary of anything asking you to drag and drop items into your bookmarks bar.
- Multiple verification methods exist; dragging and dropping executable code is suspicious.
Bookmarklets vs. Links
- Bookmarklets execute code within the current tab's context, unlike links.
- This grants them full access to the web app's memory, enabling malicious actions.
