PSA: Imgur has a malicious code injection [ITS FIXED]

[Miga]

another thing to look out for on 4/8chan is people posting weird URLS that look similar to http a/%%30%30. (space for obvious reasons)
If you are using chrome and you put your mouse over the link, or type it in google or your url bar it'll crash every browser window you have open.

It just crashes the open tab, unless you're somehow not running Chrome in sandboxed mode

what if I want to ddos 8chan

time to continue browsing imgur
before some 1337memer from 8chan throws a hissy fit, this is sarcasm

Mostly what I use imgur for is to upload from ShareX, guess it's time to configure it to upload to my own web server instead

same here
Do you know of a way to randomize file uploading names? I'd love to know

I hope you guys use another image service now so that I can see what images you guys post while I'm at lunch.

edit; cleared everything in my browser data except for autofill, content licenses, and passwords (which seem to have still been cleared anyways)
