In New World Order, Web Browses YOU
Porn sites are among the top users of a browser bug that reveals all the places people go online, finds research. Carried out by computer science researchers at UC San Diego the study found 485 sites exploiting the bug. The flaw gives sites access to all the other sites that user has visited. Many use it to target ads or see if users are patronising rivals. The bug exploits the way that many browsers handle links people have visited. Many change the colour of the text to reflect that earlier visit. Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2010-12-04 |
