You see this notification on the Trend Micro Home Network Security app:
"WEB Cross-site Scripting Attempt -8"
Why did this happen?
Home Network Security blocked a cross-site scripting attack on your home network.
What is Cross-site scripting?
Cross-site scripting, also referred to as XSS, is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to send malicious code, usually in the form of Javascript, to another user. Because a browser is unable to verify if the script should be trusted or not, it will execute the script in the user context allowing the attacker to access any cookies or session tokens retained by the browser.
What should I do next?
There is no additional action needed.
Am I protected?
Trend Micro customers are currently protected from this attack.
