In the ever-changing world of the internet, staying safe and secure is a lot like playing a game of whack-a-mole. Just when you think you’ve got everything protected, a new problem pops up! Recently, a team of sharp-eyed security experts from a company called Wiz has spotted a sneaky move by some cyber troublemakers.

What’s happening is that the bad guys have found a loophole in something called “Selenium Grid.” This is a tool that developers use to test their web applications to make sure they work well in different browsers. It’s kinda like a practice field for websites before they go live. But, guess what? Some cunning folks figured out they could slip into these practice fields, without an invite, and set up their own sneaky operation to create cryptocurrency, which is digital money.

It’s like if someone sneaked into your backyard to set up a lemonade stand without you knowing and made money off it – not fair, right? This sly scheme is called “SeleniumGreed,” because these cybercriminals are getting greedy by hijacking computing power that doesn’t belong to them, all to mine cryptocurrency.

Now, you’re probably thinking, “That’s terrible! But what does that have to do with me or my company?” Well, if people can sneak into Selenium Grids, they might be able to sneak into other places too. It’s essential to make sure that the digital doors and windows to your company’s resources are locked tight.
