Gotta say, the browser-based extortion scammers have gotten inventive.

< abudhabi>
I've just been called in to tech support the "police locking the computer".
21:59
< abudhabi>
Turns out some shitty scam site used full screen mode to pretend to be the Windows desktop with popups saying the computer has been locked by the police.

< abudhabi>
They even somehow blocked Ctrl+Alt+Del, but that may have been me not understanding what "delete" is in German.
22:01
< abudhabi>
F11 did the trick.
22:02
< synapse>
how'd it end up in fullscreen?
22:05
< abudhabi>
I dunno, probably javascript.
22:06
< abudhabi>
Yeah, it's as easy as `document.documentElement.requestFullscreen()`.
22:06
< abudhabi>

22:07
< abudhabi>

I tried twice in my life that someone attempted to pickpocket me, and failed for reasons that weren't a conscious effort for me. this changed my perspective from "I'm too smart to get scammed" to "I could totally get scammed". the same measures that protect my mom protect me.

I hear scammers *love* people who are "too smart to get scammed"

<@ErikMesoy>
I was amused by a scammer once claiming to have taken pictures of me by hacking my webcam, but I don't have a webcam. :)
