Silent Credit Card Thief Uncovered
A sophisticated credit card skimming campaign dubbed 'RolandSkimmer' has been discovered, targeting users in Bulgaria. The attack utilizes malicious browser extensions across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, initiated through a deceptive LNK file. The malware employs obfuscated scripts to establish persistent access, harvesting and exfiltrating sensitive financial data. The attack workflow involves system reconnaissance, downloading additional malicious files, and injecting scripts into web pages. The threat actor uses unique identifiers to track victims and employs sophisticated techniques to evade detection. The campaign demonstrates the evolving nature of web-based credit card skimming threats, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures against LNK-based attacks and unverified browser extensions.

Politics had totally changed, instead of having politicians, you only had puppets for the big tech companies: all those puppets did, was make sure that it's companies kept getting more financially powerful, and kept getting even more invasive, as if that were even possible
I mean they were a literally up your digestive track already, all the way to your spinkster.
Don't let me talk about flying; it takes you literally 72 hours to book a ticke; 8 hours a day you have to follow those dreadful procedures of which 90% is just ads, to finally get the seat booked with six screens pointed at you only bombarding you with advertisements.
Trains were even worse; Walls of screens, almost no place to sit, let alone sit comfortably.
In busses they left you alone, but what they did, is make the bus almost totally transparent and make sure that all the of the massive screens at the buildings were pointing at you, giving out all your personal information for everyone else to see, including your menstrual cycle, the size of your prostate, and everything else that's supposed to be medically sealed, just to show you walls and walls of advertisements regarding those medical status parameters.
And do not think that when you're finally at home sleeping, away from your dreadful job, and asleep that you sleep cycle was normal
Remember those devices that implanted in you at Birth? Those devices injected at advertisements in your dreams making your sleep horrific and tiring.
Suicide rates were skyrocketing; it was normal to lose a friend every month who succumbed to suicide because of the horrific carpet bombing advertisements raids. There were more psychiatrists than regular physicians. Funeral parlors were the only places where business was booming for the private sector, owned by fairly regular people.
Mercedes-Benz almost exclusively made funeral cars because that's what's sold the most and the best and asked for the most, by those who could still afford cars

I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.
Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.
Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!
There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.
All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.
Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.
Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.
Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.
And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.
There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.
All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads

It happenend. Chromium on Arch no longer supports uBlock Origin. This browser is useless to me now. My main browser is firefox anyways (and it is locked down a lot) but I used Chromium for some simple scrolling things.
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!
Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!
#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!

Google korrigiert wieder kritische Sicherheitslücken in Chrome
Zwar ist es schon spät, aber es ist immer noch Mittwoch, und Mittwochs aktualisiert (in der Regel) unser aller Datenkrake ihr Flaggschiff: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2025040203_chrome_update/ #Google #Chrome #Update #Security
@readeck fue la solución. Muy fácil de instalar, y de agregar nuevos contenidos gracias a una extensión que se instala en #Chrome o en #Firefox. Todo queda almacenado de manera LOCAL, y es muy sencillo incluso el IMPORTAR la base de datos de Pocket.
Para no comprometer espacio en mi #MacBook decidí instalarlo en una unidad externa SSD de 1tb, donde se ejecuta la aplicación, se mantiene la base de datos y todo el contenido adicional. (2/3)

So in chromium 135 I'm finally seeing V2 (and by extension ublock origin) disabled.
I switched to ublock origin lite, and after a few days of usage I haven't actually noticed a difference, other than needing to manually configure aggressive filtering and also the missing ability to disable javascript for the site.
Anything in particular that works much worse in ublock origin lite compared to ublock origin?
#Honey Lost 4 Million #Chrome Users After Shady Tactics Were Revealed - Slashdot
The Chrome extension Honey has lost over 4 million users after a viral video exposed it for #hijacking #affiliate codes and misleading users about finding the best coupon deals. 9to5Google reports
Notwendige Extensions Teil 1345678 um das Internet 2025 noch benutzen zu können: YouTube No Translation https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube_No_Translation
Warum? Weil irgendein Marketing Genie bei Google meinte niemand will fremdsprachige Videos sehen, und dank der Power von AI kann man das jetzt alles gut lösen. Kann man nicht. Und man kann den Bums auch oft nichtmal abschalten.
