Click-and-Snatch: How Your ‘One Click’ Social Sign-In May Unlock a Cybercrime Bonanza!

Click to log in with Google or Facebook? Think again! The OAuth security vulnerability just might be your VIP pass to the cyber fraud show. Even big names like Grammarly and Bukalapak were left vulnerable. Remember, with great convenience comes great vulnerability. So, that ‘one-click’…

Hot Take:

Well, it seems that "sign in with Google" or "log in with Facebook" buttons are not just about convenience anymore. They might be your one-click ticket to the grand cyber fraud show! Salt Security recently found out an API security flaw in the social sign-in and OAuth implementation, which could let hackers crash the party. And guess what, not just your little blog's comment section, but big players like Grammarly, Vidio, and Bukalapak were also on the invite list. So next time, when you see that tempting 'log in with one click' option, remember, it might just be one click too many!
