Warn HN: Facebook notification tricked me into downloading a malicious file
Be careful which notifications you choose to open. A new kind of threat, which can do some nasty things now exists : it shows you that a friend of yours mentioned you in a comment and it automatically downloads ( not sure if auto executes ) a .jse file which is a malicious script
- paradite 10y agoCare to provide some screenshots?

- Retr0spectrum 10y agoWhat browser?
- interdrift 10y agoHappened on Chrome mobile, but pretty sure it's reproducible on desktop too.
