Have you ever heard of Java and Flash? There is a reason why browsers explicitly disable Java, heck OSX removed it from the OS completely. Flash will run sandboxed in newer browsers but Java afaik cannot. Almost all malware is delivered using them, one research company I read about has lists of non-public Java exploits they sell to governments...

Not saying the WP is always on target, but what software could be installed via a browser on any computer to gather all of that data? And how would it be done without the OS speaking up about it? Far fetched.. Or do the Firefox / chrome guys have some 'splainin to do? Sent from my Mobile Device.
