I found these alerts so hilarious.. You have no idea how many vulnerabilities are discovered by grey/blackhat hackers. Even whitehat working for the governments or contractors not reporting it to have more variety of back doors.
But ok.. Update and "be" protected. 🤣
- Yes but this is a vulnerability now open to the public that script kiddies are going to utilize so unless you want your data grabbed by a 14yo larper for opening an image in your browser update your browser
  
  Why are script kiddies always, kids?
  Not a single child I knew growing up knew how to program.
  
  That's the point, script kiddies refers to young peoples with low to no technical knowledge using tools made by other peoples.
  
  But that's why it's misleading.
  Most of the people writing these scripts to exploit known vulnerabilities are not young. It's just an insult to people who write scripts.
  
  The skiddies are the ones using the scripts, not the ones writing them...
  
  Right. Using/writing, my point still stands that most of them are not kids. It's just an insult because it doesn't require much effort, but has nothing to do with youth.
  Nice ellipses, though. Makes me know you're not really worth listening to.
  
  Your "point" isn't one, the fact that you don't seem to comprehend that makes me sure you have brain problems.
  
  What are you talking about?
  most of them are not kids
  How is that not a point? Lol.
  the fact that you don’t seem to comprehend that makes me sure you have brain problems.
  Ahh, you must be mad because I called out ellipses as a tool for smug idiots who don't know what they're talking about.
  
  I think the term is as much a comment on maturity as it is literal age.
  
  That's the thing. It's a comment on maturity, not literal age.
