Hackers hide web skimmer behind a website's favicon
The trick, according to Malwarebytes, was that the MyIcons..net website served a legitimate favicon file for all a website's pages, except on pages that contained checkout forms.
On these pages, the MyIcons..net website would secretly switch the favicon with a malicious JavaScript file that created a fake checkout form and stole user card details.

I would reread the thread from last year to refresh my memory on how I previously solved the same issue.

I would read any notes that I created a year ago when I replaced the faulty USB drive
-
Next I would replace the USB drive with the clone that I previously created
-
Finally I would restore my recent metadata backup

RE: HDMI Monitor suggestionsposted in Water Closet
Anyone else using virtual monitors on your 4k setups? I've been using DisplayFusion's Monitor Splitting feature for this.
I only have a single monitor ATM, but this allows me to split it so that it behave like I have more than one.
