I'm still not convinced most of the computers in my home need to care about leaking data this way. I'm open to being persuaded, though.

- pdimitar 2y agoI am not convinced either but I am willing to bet some software is adversarial and will try to exfiltrate data. F.ex. many people look suspiciously at Zoom and Chrome. So as long as stuff is not perfectly isolated from each other then there's always a room for a bad actor to snoop on stuff.
- api 2y agoFor most of these vulnerabilities the risk is low, but keep in mind that your web browser runs random untrusted code from all over the Internet in a VM with a JIT compiler. This means you can't rule out the possibility that someone will figure out a way to exploit this over the web reliably, which would be catastrophic. "Attacks only get better."
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoRight, but there's presumably little data to worry about exfiltrating from, say, my xbox. Even stuff like billing info doesn't need to be stored locally.
