Your leaking privacy on Google etc. long gone out of the window...

Personally never believed in security of browser password managers,
now webtrackers abuse them to track you all over the Interwebs.   ::)

To solve this in firefox (old) - FF/PaleMoon users: 'about:config' > 'signon.autofillForms' > 'FALSE'  [SOLVED]

Never download unknown software from unknown sources and stay safer!

Up to the next hyped issue!

Open wifi hacking for fun and bitcoin mining:
https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/1/2018/01/05/wi_fi_crypto_mining/

The predictable script kiddie version of this attack can easily be detected by av,
that is why it has been published.

Since the value of Bitcoins just took a nosedive, wonder how long this will still be used. :)

Hi bob3160,

The whole bitcoin project was never to create a new currency with, to swap money easily around yes, could well be,
but the basics were a prelude to arrive at a new form of de-centralized Internet, the so-called "Golem Project".

As with the original Golem of Prague it matters who holds the "aleph" in the Hebrew word "emet" = truth,
when you take that off you are left with "met", meaning "dead", and the Golem returned to the dust,
it was created from and stiil can be found in the attic of the Alt-Nay עַל תְּנַא Schul in Prague.

Ad-industry keeps websites in the dark about privacy abuse!

Read this report: https://webtransparency.cs.princeton.edu/no_boundaries/session_replay_sites.html

Thousands of websites are sending all your keystrokes via replay-scripts, even with certain adblocking active.

Full list of abusers: https://webtransparency.cs.princeton.edu/no_boundaries/data/sr_site_list.csv.zip

See attached image.

So keep your visors up, block those that ignore your privacy and grab all of your data without consent.

@ bob3160,

Steve came up with a new version of the tool. Tried it, it is good and settings stay undefined and restricted.

But alas there are two new attacks in the pipeline based on Spectre and Meltdown, called after the James Bond-films: "Skyfall"and "Solace". Particulars aren't known yet: https://skyfallattack.com/  &  https://solaceattack.com/  both Mythic Beasts'domains from the UK (Google driven) on server s on UK and USA, Peter Stevens Cambridge. -> https://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://onza.mythic-beasts.com
