There is interesting breaking news from web developer and hacker Viljami Kuosmanen as reported in The Guardian – Browser autofill used to steal personal details in new phishing attack.
“The phising attack is brutally simple… when a user fills in information in some simple text boxes, such as name and email address, the autofill system, which is intended to avoid tedious repetition of standard information such as your address, will input other profile-based information into any other text boxes – even when those boxes are not visible on the page.”
