    I was on some website the other day and I opened the browser console for unrelated reasons. They had a giant message there that was like “STOP. If someone asked you to paste something here, you are probably going to be hacked. Do not do anything here unless you know what you’re doing.”

    Which, admittedly, is probably good advice.

        Someone would say something like ‘you can unlock a secret page on Facebook, just press F12 and paste this in’, and the snippet would upload the victim’s session token to the scammer’s server. So that they can use the account to promote a crypto scam or whatever.

          JS in Japan can mean elementary schoolgirls.

          But I swear Google used to be smarter than this. It’s the training data from 4chan that poisoned its understanding of the world, surely.

            How’d they get JS from shougakusei? Or wait, is that like “junior school” or something, to obscure its meaning further?
