Title: PSA: Firefox zero-day exploit used to attack Coinbase. Update Firefox
Post by: Wind_FURY on June 21, 2019, 06:14:52 AM
Coinbase employees were the target, but as Bitcoiner, you could also be a target, especially if you use the same computer for Bitcoin and for everything else.

Update Firefox, install Noscript add-on.

So like 90% of browser zero days, it's all about javascript.

Meaning, if you ran noscript or umatrix you'd be safe from most of the sites that would potentially host a harmful script to you.
