Doing things in the privacy of your own bedroom might not be that private any more, a tech blogger has warned.
Brett Thomas has dropped the fear bomb on millions of men and women by claiming that every website you visit, even when in incognito mode (don’t pretend you don’t know what that is), could be released by hackers.
Thomas backs up his theory with the leaked naked images of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton last year.
He claims the same processes could be used to expose embarrassing viewing by regular people.
Information on thousands of XBox and Playstation users, including passwords and personal information, was leaked last year as well.
Thomas says websites can hold you data even when incognito browsing, which hackers can in turn exploit.
However he says he fears ‘the policy measures that could be hastily enacted in response to such an event – yet another reason that the tech community should take a more proactive approach ensuring data privacy’.
