"'Hundreds' Of Websites Track User Keystrokes"
A study conducted by Princeton University alleges the use of session replay scripts by more than 480 websites to record each visitor’s keystrokes, which would then be sent to third-party servers. In addition to keystrokes, these session replay scripts also record information such as mouse movements, scrolling behavior, and more. The information gathered by these scripts does not exclude personally identifiable user information, which significantly raises the risks of identity theft, scams, and other attacks. This article further discusses the discoveries made in this study and online privacy.
