Also, http://*bungie.net/* Isnt really gonna do anything bad, Like steal your password considering that the login page is https://logon.live.comI wholeheartedly disagree.
Here's some things that have the possibility of being sent off to some remote location:
- Private Messages
- Private Group contents
- The email address linked to your account
- The Gamertag you have linked to your account which you wanted to hide from being displayed to everyone
- The name of your operating system
- The name, version, and build of your browser
- The size (in pixels) of your screen, believe it or not
- The keys and values for all of your cookies for Bungie.net
Combine that with the probability that the script running on the other end that interfaces with your installed userscript, collects more data about you (IP address, for instance), someone could build up a nice little profile about you and try their luck at hijacking your account(s).
Then there's always the real malware-type stuff:
- Some tool making a server-side script that communicates with your userscript that will execute anything that's sent to it. Including crashing your browser.
- Automation: The potential that a script will execute functions on your behalf; the possibility that it performs mass spamming of PM inboxes, spams the forums, changes your posts, automates moderation tools, uses your render minutes, changes group settings, abuses the reporting function, etc...
The list is, for all intents and purposes, endless. And it's essentially a list comprised of everything you do manually, just automated, in the background, possibly executing without your knowledge.
Hey, sounds like a virus...Maybe i underestimated the power of scripts >_>
I was unaware that you could do that many bad things with javascript.
Hmmm, Lets see, I currently have 3 http://*bugnie.net* scripts running XD
