Update: I played around with the exploit some more to find out what exactly triggered the file dialog. Turns out my OS (Ubuntu 15.04) actually saved me. When you try to open a file with Firefox it will first try to map the file to a mimety

As far as I understand with this exploit it was only possible to read files, not write to them or compromise the targets in some other way. With that in mind, it makes sense to target keys. Because the keys are an indirect way to compromise

It's me. I discovered the exploit in the wild when I became a victim of it. Skill-set limited. I was able to identify it and understand what it basically does, but not much more.

The script triggered a file dialog showing it was trying to access a local file. I opened the Developer Tools and saw all kinds of other files being accessed, including my private and public keys. I nearly got a heart attack. I quickly revo

In this case, it was disguised as an advertisement but it was not running on an advertisement server. My adblocker did not catch it. It was injected into the page as an iframe twice. Once disguised as an ad ([IP-address]/ad.php), anoth
