People say we are
not being monitored, well how about this example this product i was
checking on my super secure android device, but some how facebook
know and shows be add of this on my facebook feed on my workstation,
No i don't have any
adware installed,
Reason is facebook
app monitors all activities that you do on your devices including
internet browser history so it make sense the facebook android app is
installed on my phone too.
Generally people
don't realise how these big corporates exploiting there privacy,
well sure people
will say its convenient to see those ads so you buy stuff that you
were looking for but if you look at it its a thought of lazy person,
when you realise that privacy is myth,
This is not it
websites collect lot more data about there users like
Users Location
IP addresses
Device information
Broweser details
and more
To get more details
about users like there like and dislikes they go for your bookmarks
and browser history also its a treat for those data hungry monster
website when you install there browser plugin then they literally
monitor your system until your browser is on.
On more dark side if
you are in the target list of any state hired or independent hacker
then things can go more worst all the browsers are exploitable if you
visit deep web you can find them and buy them too they are called
zero days.
Of you are running a
older version of browser then things becomes as easy as cake walk for
hackers,
they can exploit you
system and gain admin access to your operating system in just few
commands and then they can do more dangerous things like Ransomware
and identity theft they can ruin your life.
Now we have some kid
tech lover who consider them self expert and they will say we use
adblocker those ad malware can't get to me
well here is a thing
kids
there are so many
tracking techniques that are not embedded in the websites to track
users activity even if you block there ads.
they make there
website a living tracking bot some of those techniques requires user
permission that they achieve by technique called Clickjacking or
Alerts of java scripts.
i will soon write
article about how to prevent yourself from such threats but for now
here is my goodnight advice
>Stay updated
always update your system and application software
>Disable java
script on your browsers and flash
>Don't click on
random content.
>Only download
software or app on devices from trust able resource like Appstore or
Playstore.
>Don't use
pirated Windows (Use Linux if you can't afford genuine version).
>Uninstall third
party app like facebook use fb.com on browser.
i'm not bluffing
