Are you one of the 140 million people who have downloaded Web of Trust (WoT)?

WoT pulls browser extension after privacy failure

    First, it seems that WoT has been collecting the browsing history of its

    Second, and even worse, it seems the firm did not properly anonymise the
data it collects on its users, which potentially allows others to expose the
identity of the users and all their personal details.
