I don't know if it actually was cookies or sessions that was just an example however I was making a Google API link the other day it's that Google sign in screen that says "this app is trying to gain access to your credentials do you authorize it to ha x y and z".
If want to know what I think it really is, I think it really was just spoofing phishing or pretending to be someone else there really isn't any software exploit they just gave account access via Google to someone over email via a link that looked legitimate.
Google's API is really annoying it's like Active Directory. It would not surprise me that LTT or any normal person doesn't know anything about it BUT the point still stands that no security product or software would have prevented this. This is a matter of security practice.
This is my opinion they have not confirmed the threat vector.
I'm kinda surprised how popular that linux tech tips guys is. He's the same as the other youtube influencers and their clickbait titles but he talks about computers.
I guess I don't really understand youtube "celebrities" because i never watch youtube. Only use it for teaching or to listen to music through an app like ViMusic
All this USB requires is a power source, and it can explode. The next generation of the USB killer.
@elias Linus Tech Tips used to be really good during his golden age from 2013-2018. Then they started becoming too popular and were filled with sponsors and clickbait.
But they got people into building PCs, and for me, even into installing Linux!
So #LinusTechTips should deserve credit for how they got the masses, especially a whole generation of YouTube viewers, into PC gaming. But other channels would fill in the gaps that LTT didn't do anymore. Whether you like modern LTT is up to you.
#LinusTechTips right now.
I just set a really high ceiling to encourage myself to not go very high, and to not need to cram my posts at the same time.
Is it possible to read the cookies issued by another website though? I don't think it is unless you use some sort of DNS spoofing — even that is not so easy when certificates are involved.
I hate this ajax.googleapis.com thing so I have a local mirror and it took me importing both, the website and the CA certs, and even adding some exception to one of the about:config vars to convince Firefox that my local mirror is the real thing.
I can't keep up with all the security updates that have been happening in the past few weeks. Can someone please give me a summary?
This #LinusTechTips post supposedly aged well, but it seems like they didn't actually follow it.

LinusTechTips just showed people how to read an eye diagram for signal integrity analysis, and explained how attenuation and jitter cause horizontal and vertical eye closures.
A real and serious Tech Tip in LinusTechTips instead of the unboxings and adverts?! Who could've imagined that? I am genuinely impressed. #electronics #LinusTechTips

Today, all of the videos came back online. YouTube did end up removing the videos again, but the job is finally complete.
This goes way back to the beginning of my journey. I was still on YouTube and Reddit, and in a few months I was about to self-host and join the fediverse. Now, I am an experienced self-hosted fediverse user, and we went through this. I feel great about it. We have just completed the circle. Everything began here, and we're now coming back.
So because of this, I'm probably going to try archiving YouTube videos again, and once LTT comes back online I'm going to download my favorite videos from the channel, as well as other channels.
I joined the fediverse in November 2021. Starting on DistroTube's instance, and later creating my own instance, it has been a wild ride. Hopefully, I can start going back into all the things I was doing before my time on the fediverse, and I won't have to be addicted to what has become the new public square after the exodus from Twitter.
I hope LTT comes back online soon, and I hope other channels don't get hacked again like they did.
The job I've been waiting for since July 2021 has officially been complete. Now Linus Tech Tips will be restored shortly.
I have some of the videos saved way back in 2021.
