After scammers duped a friend with a hacked Twitter account and a “deal” on a MacBook, I enlisted the help of a fellow threat researcher to trace the criminals’ offline identities.

        The pop up blocks my whole screen except for a tiny part at the bottom. I guess I could read it by scrolling 1 line at a time but at that point, it’s a pay wall.

          Right click, inspect element, select pop-up in DOM tree, delete it, read article in full screen. Actual paywalls only transmit a teaser of the article to the frontend.

          Note I haven’t tested this in this case since I’m on mobile. But it works if the actual text is available in your browser and it sounds that’s the case.
