As seen with the recent leakage of 36 million search queries made by half a million American Online subscribers, there are enormous privacy concerns when a user’s search queries are made public.
All the code needed to steal a user’s search queries is written in JavaScript and uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This code could be embedded into any website either by the website owner or by a malicious third party through a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attack. There it would harvest information about every visitor to that site. |
