The big stores that track your every online move
Summary
Tech and security websites spying on users include HP.com, Norton, Lenovo, Intel Autodesk, Windows, Kaspersky, Redhat.com, ESET.com, WP Engine, Logitech, Crunchbase, HPE.com (Hewlett Packard Enterprise), Akamai, Symantec, Comodo.com, and MongoDB. Even passwords are included in these session recordings, according to Princetons Center for Information Technology Policy, and in one instance involving SessionCam, they were sent to one of the companies providing session-replay scripts. "These scripts record your keystrokes, mouse movements and scrolling behavior, along with the entire contents of the pages you visit, and send them to third-party servers," CITPs writeup on the study explained. "Unlike typical analytics services that provide aggregate statistics, these scripts are intended for the recording and playback of individual browsing sessions, as if someone is looking over your shoulder." "The replay services offer a combination of manual and automatic redaction tools that allow publishers to exclude sensitive information from recordings."
