Privacy is risk more than ever. Our team of research and development has recently stumbled upon something that puts the AOL search debacle to shame. The discovery that we describe should serve as a serious and urgent warning. If Google searches are not conducted by a VPN or Tor, you run the risk that these searches are made public and linked to your IP address. It is well known that many companies track users across the Web. This monitoring has become a huge internet industry, resulting in huge amounts of personal data extracted and sold or used in retargeting. In general, most people were indifferent to what followed, as it was kept very discreet and therefore out of sight of most of society. However, we have just discovered something that is living proof that our privacy is in grave danger. At least one site was identified which makes your search traffic available to the public on the Internet in its entirety, including web crawlers from Google. This is not some company thugs, but instead, a website monitoring service that is used in a wide variety of sectors of the internet. DISCLAIMER: We do not name or link to the site that we truly believe to be potentially damaging the lives of many people. We will, however, screenshots to illustrate the damage that can be caused. This particular URL Web Site tracks, referring URL, and Google search queries for each site on which it is activated. Then he creates pages that list each of the search queries or SEOs with the IP address of the visitor. Google will index these pages, making it easy for anyone to find an IP address and connect to a visit to a specific website or a search query site. Shown below is an example of some of the violations of privacy that it caused. Most people agree that, while some of these searches are harmless, some were definitely made with the hope of privacy. When viewing the image, imagine that you have done a google search of your IP address, and these recordings have appeared. So imagine someone else is doing a google search to your IP address. As Lil Flip said, "Game over."
The research was compiled from different pages without a name. Identifiable was obscured to protect the privacy of researchers.
queries search engines and referring URLs are listed. This can be used to show what you want or what sites you've visited. A common misconception is that the solution is to attack or attempt to close the monitoring site. However, this is only one site. There could be many others who work in the same way, operating under several different jurisdictions. In addition, there are countless other monitoring sites that have exactly the same data, but have not made public. But just because it is not public today does not mean it will not be public tomorrow. Hackers could break and release the data, or it could be sold in bulk to other companies whose motives are unknown. Stopping a site does not protect anyone. Even using the private or incognito browser mode will not hide your IP address. The only way to protect yourself is to be truly private by your IP address invisible for the first monitoring sites. So next time you Google, please, use a VPN.
