Using Incognito Mode? These 7 Entities Can Still Track You

 Trump officially entered the psychotic emperor phase. He's not coming back. The Pope image was it. That was the line. He crossed it and kept walking. This isn't trolling anymore. This is clinical delusion. The tariffs on movies. Reopening Alcatraz. These aren't policies. 

This is a man deep in a psychotic loop thinking revenge is leadership and trolling is governance. Every time he does something more insane, MAGA cheers louder. 

And every cheer convinces him he's still the chosen one. So he takes it further. No one's driving the bus anymore. They're just throwing gasoline and screaming kumbaya and Hallelujah.

Using Incognito Mode? These 7 Entities Can Still Track You

Hot to Geek: “Incognito mode, private browsing, and other similar modes offered by web browsers are a genuinely useful feature for your privacy, but it’s not what many people think it is. All the network traffic that goes from your computer to the internet at home goes through a network router, which is in turn connected to the outside network, or WAN (Wide Area Network). That router can’t do its job unless it knows where each packet is meant to go, which means that anyone who can pull the logs from the router or monitor the LAN’s network traffic live, can see which websites a specific computer has visited and when. Do with that information what you will, but if you’re on your parents’ internet and they are mildly tech-savvy, they can figure out where you’ve been…”

 There’s a common perception that using private browsing modes makes it so no one can see which sites you’re using, or what you do on them, but the truth is that the only place these modes hide anything is on your own computer. All of these other entities can see exactly where you’re spending time online.

An Employee Surveillance Company Leaked Over 21 Million Screenshots Online

Gizmodo: “With the refinement of digital tools, companies are subjecting their employees to increasing levels of surveillance — and increasing risks. Now, the security of thousands of employees and their parent companies is at risk after real-time images of their computers were leaked by an employee surveillance app. 

On Thursday, researchers at Cybernews reported that over 21 million screenshots from WorkComposer, which works with over 200,000 companies worldwide, were discovered in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket. As part of its services, WorkComposer captures screenshots of an employee’s computer every 3 to 5 minutes.


 So, the leaked images potentially include sensitive content like internal communications, login information, and even an employee’s personal information that could leave them vulnerable to identity theft, scams, and more. It’s unknown exactly how many companies or employees were impacted by this leak. But according to researchers, these images offer a look into “how workers go about their day frame-by-frame.” 


Following its discovery, Cybernews, who also uncovered a leak by similar company WebWork earlier this year, contacted WorkComposer, who secured the information. WorkComposer did not respond to Gizmodo’s request for comment. 


Although the images are no longer public, WorkComposer’s leak highlights that companies “shouldn’t be trusted with this kind of data on their workers,” José Martinez, a Senior Grassroots Advocacy Organizer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Gizmodo via email…”
