Another Fucking Security Mess – Iframes, Are You Shitting Me?

Right, so apparently some “researchers” (read: people who should have been looking at this *years* ago) discovered that iframes are STILL a massive security hole. Like, unbelievably porous. Websites are letting third-party scripts load inside them without proper sandboxing or content security policies. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking.

The gist? Payment skimmers – the kind that steal your credit card details – are hiding in these iframes like cockroaches under a fridge. They’re exploiting this laziness (or incompetence, take your pick) to inject malicious code and siphon off data. They found over 300 domains actively serving up this crap, mostly targeting e-commerce sites because, you know, *money*.

What makes it worse? The researchers say current security tools are largely BLIND to this shit. They don’t see the malicious activity happening inside the iframe because they’re looking at the parent page and thinking everything is hunky dory. It’s like securing the front door while leaving a gaping hole in the back wall, you absolute morons.

They suggest better sandboxing, stricter CSP rules, and subresource integrity checks. Basically, do your goddamn job, web developers! It’s not rocket science. And for fuck’s sake, *validate* what you’re loading into those iframes!

Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake.

  I once had to clean up a server after some idiot embedded a YouTube video using an iframe from a site that was actively hosting malware. Took me three days, several cups of coffee, and a whole lot of swearing to get rid of it. The worst part? He just copy-pasted the embed code without even looking at it. Some people shouldn’t be allowed near computers.
