I recently noticed, after purchasing a new phone, that many of the Memes I've archived from 8ch/8kun will not open. Moving from a rooted Note 4, to an unrooted Note 10, had to be part of the problem, right?

 

While researching this problem, I tripped over some interesting sauce. Seems that malicious types can craft some Code inside .png files, and gain control over an Android Phone. I'm wondering as well if the Windows 10 OS has been affected, and patched, due to this reason as well, as some of the .png Memes I've recently downloaded from here are not viewable now either. Any CoderFags in here that could add to this? I know that it is requested that we work with .png Format when uploading here, for various reasons, but if this has been patched in the Android OS, and possibly Windows OS, where the Files will not open, it seems that we now have to move to another Format, to be able to archive or use Files.

 

On this, I've noticed several comments over the past few days that Images were not loading, or displaying correctly for Anons. Could some of you that are more knowledgeable with this type of hacker fuckery please enlighten the rest of us, and suggest a possible work around? Thanks.
