Paradigm researcher: X has a critical vulnerability that allows full access to user accounts just by clicking on a link
Paradigm researcher samczsun wrote that the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) had a critical vulnerability. This vulnerability allows hackers to gain complete access to user accounts by simply clicking on a link. This means that hackers can tweet, retweet, like, block, and perform other actions, but cannot change the user's password. Until this issue is resolved, users are advised to install the ad blocker uBlock Origin to reduce the risk of such attacks. uBlock Origin is an effective browser extension that can block malicious links and ads, thereby improving user network security when using social platforms such as X.
