Watch the monkey! Greasemonkey scripts can be harmful to the safety of users

Firefox Addon : Extensión Firefox - Grease Monkey In an earlier article made mention of a Firefox extension called Greasemonkey that we can be helpful, but it turns out that if we are not careful can compromise the security of our cookies.

Summing up the article " Greasemonkey extension for Firefox you can do monads of our websites " Greasemonkey is a utility that relies on small pieces of code to add new features or alter existing sites we visit regularly.

Before installing any script should look if it contains malicious code as

. Php? Cookie =

and / or

encodeURIComponent (document.cookie)

These scripts are designed to access our cookies, where we often find certain details that we want to keep private the information of our accounts in the places we enter.

not know about you but from now on I'll be more careful each time you install a script for Greasemonkey. Indeed in later articles I start talking about the scripts I have found it advantageous to improve my user experience, so I recommend visiting the blog regularly.
