More for the cat and mouse game between shodan and user.

Shodan is definitely a useful tool, and will help admins who dont realize what is exposed to the internet find out their weak points. It is also very useful for vulnerability assessments and getting metrics about services from the internet as whole. But it is also like all good things used by people who want to exploit the data within for personal gain or entertainment.

There are literally hudreds of thousands of interesting and exploitable items on shodan, just dont be one of them.

Visa warns webshops against - code that steals creditcard-data:
Read: https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/global/support-legal/documents/pfd-identifies-new-javascript-skimmer.pdf

This JavaScript skimmer malware Visa is called "Pipka"* (* brzydki wyraz n.p. po polsku (dimin.)
and you won't find the expression in a Polish dictionary).
It is the first malcode of its kind that removes itself from compromised websites (html).

Three minor Microsoft flaws can easily add up to one big one:

Better safe than sorry. Mitigate those risks you run.

What to do about unblockable web trackers?

Read: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/21/ublock_origin_firefox_unblockable_tracker/

Firefox has thwarted this new apparently unblockable tracker.
For Chrome, there is no DNS API available, and so no easy way to detect this,"

As web tracking is a major part of Google's core business, they want to go forward with this,
allowing advertisers to create unique IDs for every ad impression they serve, information
that could then be associated with individual users.

Ads could contain malware, so I block with uOrigin and uMatrix in Cliqz Internet browser
(a particular firefox private browser flaw).

Surveillance capitalism by Facebook and Google goes over the top,
according to Amnesty Int. and in it's effects is threatening human rights.
