More methods for attacking your security are coming up on the web these days and nobody is protected from it. This was the prime takeaway from a late study led by Princeton University.
Scientists at Princeton University directed an enormous investigation of more than 1 million sites and they have presumed that there are presently new complex methods for keeping an eye on you. one of them which includes the utilization of your telephone's battery level and the sorts of text styles you have introduced.
Utilizing the information from the previously stated variables, there are "trackers" on a few sites that read your scanning information and afterward show customized commercial in view of it. On the off chance that you wind up going by the sites on the ads, information about you is gathered and after that sold to different promoters.
These trackers are utilized to fabricate a profile on you, where you have no influence over it. What's more, the information can be sold to anybody over the web.
