11:36 You have wifi? if google is going to visit you | |
| Google has again puncture with the private lives of citizens. In Germany, found that the Street View van scan wireless networks and record the MAC-addresses of individual users. What's scary about this story - is the fact that that they are doing with them - it would still be scary. If you publish - it is unpleasant and difficult. As the researchers say information security - there is a statistical possibility to associate with the MAC-address records in social networks. If you do not publish - even more problematic - because you do not know why exactly this information was collected. True throughout the history I do not understand exactly how it turned out that Macs retain. Okay, I admit the probability that the scan can detect the presence of WiFi-networks. But as you may find that some of the transmitted data is written? In any case - Google certainly is not evil, but just too murazhki the skin starts to direct. (The name is not related to an article in The Punch). As they say in the comments - "change mac and sleep well." This is not a fact that will help. Unfortunately, lost the link, but ran across a study that with just a few factors, such as browser + a list of installed fonts (that is somehow possible to get through the browser - whether CSS, whether Java rents) can be almost uniquely identify a person (without cookies), and change the set of installed fonts is more complicated than a cookie rub. So the problem is that in order to "sleep" is needed so much to rub, to change (passwords, poppies), write, memorize and write that life is slowly but surely begins to revolve around security and privacy.
