Hulu, MSN Track Users With "Supercookies"

[Guest]

Here's my input. A short video for how to stop Supercookies on Windows systems. Geared for IT geeks http/t.co/bRsiKpJ

If you wanna have some fun get the Shared Object plug-in for the Firebug plug-in for Firefox. lol...
It lets you edit Shared Objects (used by flash). You can change your data for it and give Hulu some phony tracking (if that is what they are being used for).

Decade 2GB's of Ram to run security keep update and they still get your information WOW just run two lite Mal ware Scanners like I do, even if you think you know that your doing they'll still get in some how.

If Microsoft and Hulu had it, who knows what other (more malicious) companies can also have this.

Hulu say
they "acted immediately to investigate and address" the issue

I hear
"hulu wants to sound concerned but is waiting to see how big the supercookies invasion of privacy thing issue becomes before we do anything."

and MSN says "did we do that? we are suprised."

I don't want to start hating them but they kinda make it difficult not to.

FFprivatebrowsing+AdBlockPlus+NoScript+BeefTaco+BetterPrivacy+BrowserProtect+Ghostery+HTTPS-Everywhere and CCleaner on a USB stick on a cracked administrator account on a work machine = NO TRACKING, NO COOKIES, NO MALWARE, NO ADWARE, NO SPYWARE AT ALL!

Wow, I knew data could be stored with Flash, but I didn't realize how much and how persistent it was. As soon as I read this I installed BetterPrivacy and cleared out all the LSOs. Thanks for the heads up!
