I use last Debian stable (buster as June 2020).
- system upgraded everyday (and browser addons updated automatically)
- Firefox 68.9.0esr (64 bits) (the one from
apt
package system) - decent hardware (less than 5 years old)
- Debian security upgrade enabled
I’m aware of security concerns, I…
- verify (before clicking a HTTP link) if the link looks like
example.org
, but are in factexample.org.random.tracker.io
by example (I take care about phising and tracking) - take care of untrusted
X509
certificates forhttps
websites - avoid using non trusted Firefox addons
- never open suspicious files in web or mails
- don’t use weak passwords (and I don’t use the same on 2 websites)
- never run Firefox as root (who do this ?)
- use httpsEverywhere, uBlock-Origin, Ghostery, Decentraleyes Firefox addons
So my question:
- what is the risk of opening a malicious website (if not in google safe browsing DB) ? What it can do, the worst way, apart phishing website ? (I guess crypto-mining at least, exploit of Firefox vulnerability…)
