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.

Good idea!, thanks! that’s one of those, “Whack! I coulda’ had a V8” moments, won’t work for me here (I’m on a mobile as well).
