If You Use Maxthon Browser, Your Data May be Compromised

July 18, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ
Maxthon Browser
Moving to an alternative web browser is no guarantee that you’ll be less susceptible to privacy and security issues. Researchers at Exatel have published a report claiming that Maxthon’s browser transmits sensitive user information, whether or not you enroll in the software’s User Experience Improvement Program. The data includes not only things you’d expect for support, such as software versions and whether or not ad blocking is turned on, but also your entire web history — including Google searches. The info is encrypted (the ZIP file that stores it is even disguised as an image file), but Exatel’s discovery clearly shows that it wasn’t too difficult to crack with some reverse engineering.

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
