It turned out that a software bug detected in Safari threatens user privacy. According to the information obtained from the news site 9to5Mac, known for its news about Apple devices, it has been announced that this error in Safari can access users’ search history and even Google account information.
It is stated that this error detected in Safari’s indexedDB scan engine data store is present on all devices using Mac and iOS operating systems. It is a remarkable detail that such a system error was detected in Safari after the information emerged in the past months that Google and Facebook are trying to penetrate Safari’s privacy. So much so that this error, in which users’ personal information is exposed, can also be of great benefit in terms of advertising.
Any website could pose a threat:
Of course, we are not saying that this error was created by Google and Facebook. However, users are faced with the threat of stealing Google User information on the websites they enter and revealing their internet history as well as their personal data. In addition, it is stated that the IndexedDB data store in Safari is open to all websites. This indicates that this kind of ‘information theft’ can happen on every site.
It is stated that this security issue exists on all iPhone, iPad and Mac models currently using the new version of Safari. A website that makes security inquiries about browsers called FingerprintJS states that they reported this error to Apple at the end of November, but they did not receive any response.
