Hackers always keep an eye on the personal information of the consumer. But now even big technology companies are facing virus and malware attacks. In such a situation, companies try to protect themselves, but hackers are adopting many new methods so that they can kill the security of companies. In this sequence, a new case has emerged, according to which Mozilla Firefox has been the victim of a dangerous bug.
This bug freezes the screens of Windows or Mac PCs using Mozilla Firefox. This blocks the browser. Ars Technica has also released a report. According to this report, this bug reaches the computer through websites and freezes the screen. Hackers show this bug and lock the browser. This bug shows a message. Warning is given in this message that your device is working on a pirated version. If they want an original version, they have to call a number. If consumers do not do so then their device will be remotely disabled.
What is the message - This message says that stop and do not shut down your PC. We have locked your computer because your Windows registry is illegal. It is using pirated software and sending viruses over the Internet. This window desktop has been hacked. We are blocking this computer for your protection.

If you close the message tab above, you will get a pop-up saying that you are about to login to the xyz website with the user name admin. If you click Ok, nothing will happen and if you click Cancel, you will be asked to enter the user's name and password to login to the website.
What does Mozilla say - The company says that if the consumer falls in such a situation, then it can be closed only with the help of the task close function of Task Manager and macOS in Windows.
