Meh, BBC Bait Click alert.
The title makes the impression that this is about 'all' ad blockers. But to quote from the actual article:
"PrivDog has been found to compromise a layer of the internet known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) - used to safeguard online transactions.
It follows the discovery of a similar problem with Superfish, software pre-installed on some Lenovo computers."
I stopped reading after that. BBC should know better. Ah LOL who am I kidding. But just to be clear, I am pointing at them, not you per se, tomtoise.
- SteveMoody73 12y agoCalling it an Ad blocker is misleading as well. More Ad replacement. "PrivDog - a tool designed to block ads and replace them with ones from "trusted sources" - joins a growing list of software affected by related security flaws."
