Look before you paste from a website to terminal

The article warns against blindly copying and pasting code snippets from websites into the terminal, as malicious code can be hidden using techniques like setting font color to the background and making text unselectable. Such hidden commands could execute harmful actions, especially if combined with sudo privileges, potentially compromising your system security. The author advises always pasting code into a text editor first to inspect it before running any commands on your machine. This precaution helps prevent unknowingly executing dangerous or malicious instructions.
