Cascading Style Sheet [.css] is hazardous to your privacy. It allows
others on the internet to see your monitor and files. It allows them to
copy images on your monitor to their computers. It also allows them to
copy files from your computer to their's. It is dangerous. Avoid at all
costs.

CSS that isn't stored in the victim's computer. Instead it is stored in
the perpetrator's PC. What it does is it reads everything on the
victim's screen and checks on the victim's visited webpages and can
even read text from any text or word application being used by the
victim. CSS is not a security risk and does not trick the victim's PC
into sending info to the perp. However, this is an extreme invasion of
the victim's privacy. The victim has no idea, that he/she is being
violated. The assailant can read text, and see any pictures that happen
to be on the victim's monitor without actually accessing the victim's
computer.

Your computer may not be at all damaged or touched. However, your
confidential information can easily be read by the attacker and anyone
the attacker gives it to. You don't have to download anything, visit
any website, or even use a browser to be attacked. You just need to be
connected to the internet and the attacker can strike you.

Once again, the victim's PC does not store any part of CSS. All info
and software is stored in the assailant's PC.

D00d, we don't question the fact that you've got a Radium issue.
If you are that worried about your privacy, just pull the network plug out
of the back of your PC.
Cheers.

No. No. No. When you make your hat, the *shiny* side of the tinfoil
goes on the *outside*!
