This is assuming that there is data to be breached though. Unless it was some realtime MITM attack, I don't think many porn websites are storing the browser footprints of all their visitors in a database. But, I could be naive.
- joezydeco 12y agoWell now we've just introduced a new way for them to monetize, haven't we?
- pan69 12y agoMaybe not the websites themselves but the ads they might display might store this information. I.e. if they capture your fingerprint on a porn site while browsing in incognito mode and then capture your fingerprint while browsing in normal mode on a regular website. Simply put two and two together.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoAd networks, probably including adult ad networks, regularly track browser footprints. You don't need an MITM attack, you merely need a porn site which runs ads. That consists of about 100% of the porn sites I browse. The EFF has a nice demo of it: https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/
