first off: sites.google.com is not the same as accounts.google.com .
there's a huuuuuuuuge difference between Google account manager and Google sites. you're kinda an idiot if you get fooled into clicking this link. I realistically don't even know how you can think that that is somehow Google.
if there's something asking you to sign in Google related, and it has sites in stead of account, myaccount, or accounts, maybe it's best to, I don't know, not fucking click?
second: that's why you especially don't install a "Google certificate". in fact , Google has a certificate. to prove it, go to https://fedi.blindsoft.net , lick on the certificate details, and look at the organization details of who issued it. the exception here is if the certificate is a private TLS certificate managed by Google cloud platform/GCP certificate manager.
third: why you don't automatically install something that someone tells you to. run it in a VM, a kasm docker container, etc.
this all could've stopped if we thought first in stead of being stupid. at least, that's what I took from the video.

another day, another $300 million #crypto hack (probably directly into #NorthKorea's nuclear weapons coffers). this time it's something called #KelpDAO.
There's a few interesting parts here:
1. KelpDAO operates through #Aave, the biggest / most important lender in "decentralized finance" (#defi) and the way the hack was pulled off managed to stick Aave with almost $300 million in bad debt (in the form of a bunch of fake #rsETH tokens, a "liquid staking token" for #ETH that i'm only going to explain if someone actually is interested and asks in the comments)
2. as a result there's a stampede to get money out of Aave. not quite a full run on the bank bc that's not really possible w/the way Aave works, but directionally similar
3. the founder of Aave mocked #DriftProtocol for being hacked for a similar amount two weeks ago as "not defi". this complicates the solution here, which is for Aave to step in and rewrite the decentralized protocol to socialize the losses onto users.

Two weeks ago, when Drift was exploited for $280M, @aave founder
Stani publicly mocked them, saying “this is not DeFi”
In a twist of irony, today AAVE has been hit for $280M+ with the same
method, likely by the same attackers...
