OFC that hurts honest people just like #Shitcoin-Scams hurt #Monero despite being technically incapable to being weaponized for #NFT-Bullshit like #NFTmalware.

Either we say "#Tech is #apolitical!" and accept diverging opinions and experiences to exist as equal

We say "#TechIsPolitical!" and ask "Who benefits?" from the rapid onset #Enshittification and purposefully engineered, #PlannedObsolescence due to #Bloatware, regardless if JS or #Windows11 or purposefully bricking support for legacy versions of #iOS.

@[email protected] except #JavaScript is a *net negative* in my experience as it is only good for 3 things: - making websites #inaccessible to #TextBrowsers, thus #discriminating against #blind users. - Injecting #malware like #Shitcoin #miners for #CryptoJacking. - Violating #consent of users with #tracking and #adware. Tell me i I'm wrong! #JS #PayOrOkay #Privacy #ITsec #ClownFlare #CloudFlare #Enshittification #bloatware #ads

@hyc It's the reason why I call #Monero "the least worst #Cryptocurrency", as it's nature and features prevent abuse like #NFT|s & associate #malware via "#SmartContracts"...

Yes #NFTmalware is still a big problem!

Looks like blockchains have finally found a serious use case, just maybe not the one predicted/hoped for... This article is about #Glassworm, the latest major exploit in JavaScript-land, targetting VSCode and using #Solana as command infrastructure and Google Calendar events as backup. It's full of novel attack techniques and as they say in the article themselves: "this is absolutely brilliant (and terrifying)". All in all, a different form of "creative coding"... "The malware is hunting for credentials: - NPM authentication tokens - to publish malicious packages - GitHub tokens - to compromise repositories - OpenVSX credentials - to inject more extensions - Git credentials - to push malicious code - 49 different cryptocurrency wallet extensions - targeting MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, and dozens more" https://www.koi.ai/blog/glassworm-first-self-propagating-worm-using-invisible-code-hits-openvsx-marketplace #JavaScript #Security #VSCode #Malware

@mschfr @multiburst sagen wir so:

Die einzig brauchbare #Kryptowährung ist #Monero.
- Der einzig sinnvolle Einsatz für #NFTs wäre ein #Standard um #Gebrauchtlizenzen und #Lizenztransfers öffentlich auditierbar bereitzustellen. Letzteres ist aber wider dem.Interesse von #CCSS-Herstellern wie #Microsoft und #Adobe und zwider Anbietern wie #UsedSoft als auch #Keysellern weil es nicht nur den #Gebrauchthandel von kommerzieller #Software zementieren sondern auch #Transparenz bieten würde.

Stattdessen gibt's inzwischen #NFTmalware mit "feindlichen" #SmartContract|s um Leuten ihre Wallets zu entleeren!

Und ja, Dan Olson hat recht…

@[email protected] And now notice that #Bitcoin isn't the only #Shitcoin out there - because it's the oldest and worst, you get shite like #Ethereum which fails at everything but adding *"#SmartContracts"* aka. the bs building.blocks for #NFT|s and associated #malware. And yes #NFTmalware is a [real thing]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&t=1h29m14s ) - I am [not making this up]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&t=1h22m32s )...
