LightShot Screen Shot Scrapping

readme.md

This demostrates a privacy and security concern with the Lightshot screenshot tool. This was first discovered by TikTok, also featured in a Linus Tech Tips video. Run the script and type in a two letter combination, and your computer will be flooded with numerous screenshots. Also, some of these screenshots may have revealing information, and/or sex/nudity.

You need to have wget installed and works on Mac (including M1+) and Linux. Windows users should use WSL to run this.
