Browser Console Security Warning
When you open the browser developer console on ViGrise's products and services, you may see a security warning. This page explains why this warning exists and how to stay safe.
Why Do We Show This Warning?
The browser console is a powerful tool intended for developers. Unfortunately, scammers often exploit it to trick users into compromising their own accounts through a technique called Self-XSS (Self Cross-Site Scripting).
What is Self-XSS?
Self-XSS is a social engineering attack where scammers convince users to paste malicious code into their browser console. The scammer might promise:
- Free premium features
- Account upgrades
- Access to hidden functionality
- Bonus credits or rewards
These are always lies. Pasting unknown code into your console can:
- Steal your session tokens and cookies
- Access your personal data
- Perform actions on your behalf
- Compromise your account security
How to Stay Safe
Never paste code you don't understand
If someone asks you to paste code into your browser console, it's almost certainly a scam. Legitimate support staff will never ask you to do this.
Recognize common scam tactics
Scammers often use phrases like:
- "Paste this code to unlock a free feature"
- "This hack will give you premium access"
- "Enter this to see who viewed your profile"
- "Copy this to get free credits"
What to do if you encounter a scam
- Do not paste any code into your console
- Report the scammer to our support team
- Warn others who might be targeted
For Developers
If you are a legitimate developer working with the ViGrise Platform:
- Only run code that you have written or thoroughly reviewed
- Be cautious with code snippets from untrusted sources
- Use our official API documentation and SDKs
- Report any security vulnerabilities through our responsible disclosure program
