Chinese QQ Browser Caught Sending User Data to Its Servers
- contingencies 11y agoThe Android version of the browser transmits personally identifiable data, including a user’s search terms, the URLs of visited websites, nearby WiFi access points, and the user’s IMSI and IMEI identifiers, without encryption or with easily decrypted encryption Well call me a skeptic but save the final clause isn't this exactly what Google collects? Because GPS is often too slow or cannot get a fix, location services are usually based on using every single Android device to approximately geolocate Wifi APs ... then send the data to Google, who tells your phone where it is when it reports in the local APs.
