Protecting the OS does protect you: stealing my data/cookies today is different than installing OS level backdoor / keylogger and stealing my bank password, tax prep, etc next month/year/etc.
- Vektorweg 13y agoSo, installing a backdoor / keylogger in user level isn't that bad? why?
- toomuchtodo 13y agoIf they've stolen your cookies, they can already login as you. The keylogger is already going to run in user space, as you. You don't need to compromise root/a privileged user in order to get the keys to the kingdom. Once I've compromised whatever user your browser environment runs as, mission accomplished.
