Neat thing O’ the week:

Mastodon’s users are vulnerable to password-stealing attacks!

In light of Elon Musk now essentially ruling Twitter — having swept the board away and purchasing the company himself (a $44 billion purchase at that) — a large amount of users have been migrating to Mastodon. Mastodon is a similar platform to Twitter, and it provides the same kind of social media type feel.

It’s also open source which is great, especially when you find out that there’s an exploit in the code. Using Google Chrome’s autofill feature, it was possible to spoof a clicked toolbar element and post HTML, which is a big no-no for websites with any kind of authentication.
