Google Gears Security Issue
I was browsing the new WordPress Dashboard today and stumpled upon the “Turbo” Section. It offers to speed up WordPress using Google Gears with a little note stating: “Don’t install on a public or shared computer.”
This made me wonder… what if somebody installed Gears on a public computer that is not protected against such browser plugins or i use someone else’s computer. Will it store confidential or private data about me? Will the Firefox “Clear Private Data” option delete traces of me from this system? Just a thought.
