Researchers found ad-network keylogger scripts on top websites

[Jan]

Top websites hosted keylogger scripts that grab data before you click submit

A study conducted by researchers from KU Leuven, Radboud University, and the University of Lausanne found that 1,844 top websites collected European users' email addresses without their consent.

They also found that 2,950 of them automatically logged the email addresses of US users in some form.

Well key thing is exposing the end point details so everyone can submit data to it.

While I do like my fast fiber internet and nice looking sites. I have to say that the modern internet seriously has become a shitty place

Does MYBB do this? Because if you think my posts are nonsense, you should see the stuff I type out and then deem unworthy of posting.

You can always test this by typing terrorist threats and seeing if somebody collects you in your sleep

Clicked on the "study" hyperlink in the piece, took me to this: https://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~asenol/leaky-forms/

and then clicked on the "52" that they say took password data:

Website list where users' passwords are collected incidentally by several third-parties. These were fixed thanks to our disclosures. See https://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~asenol/leaky-forms for the background.
