Cascading Style Sheet Is Such A Hazard To Your Privacy ||||||

Cascading Style Sheet [.css] is such a hazard 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 computers. It is
dangerous. Avoid at all costs.

CSS isn't stored in the victim's computer. Instead it is stored in the
perpetrator's computer. What it does is it reads everything on the
victim's screen and checks on the victim's visited web pages 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
computer into sending info to the perpetrator. 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 computer does not store any part of CSS. All
info and software is stored in the assailant's computer.

Hi Radium!



Hehe, so is Digital. There is always a second side. Better said, you
can close the 0, but someone might come in at 1 :)

Digital is, IMO, the best platform for controlling, with the
possibility to cheat/poke/fake at all costs.

Who can say, that a digital picture in a Passport has not been made
100% with a software?
With a standard picture you can zoom in and see the
celluloid-structure, what IMO, is very unlikely to be copied with
digital-apparatures, if not impossible.


I would say it's a 50:50 chance for a perfect defense. But only when
both user are full learned with Internet and TCP/IP etc..
The chance for an unknown user is most obviously lower, when being
attacked by a full-profi :-(




Best Regards,
