Safari Users Beware! Autofill Exploit Reveals Personal Information
By Davies DeCesare-Fousek on Jul 22 | 8:51 pm, in Apple News
Safari users beware! An exploit uncovered by Jeremiah Grossman allows any website to obtain all the information in your browser's autofill memory. This includes any credit cards numbers, emails, birthdays, names, and any other information Safari has in its Autofill memory. Read More
The exploit is very simple and has been known to Apple for over a month, yet Grossman has yet to receive a response. Considering Google and Mozilla are paying around $3,000 for major flaws in their browser, they are finding many bugs that will save them embarrassing moments such as this. Both Chrome and Firefox do not have any current visible issues with this exploit. To see how it works and to check if your safe, click here (just be warned you could be giving away your information). So in the meantime disable autofill in Safari or if you can't live without it use Chrome or Firefox (so far they are both looking pretty safe). Let's hope this gets patched soon!
