Don’t copy-paste commands from webpages you can get hacked

Gabriel Friedlander, founder of security awareness training platform Wizer demonstrated an obvious yet surprising hack that’ll make you cautious of copying-pasting commands from web pages. Friedlander warns a webpage could be covertly replacing the contents of what goes on your clipboard, and what actually ends up being copied to your clipboard would be vastly different from what you had intended to copy. Without the necessary due diligence, the developer may only realize their mistake after pasting the text, at which point it may be too late.”]
