Newport Boy Tech: Web code weakness allows data dump on PC (10) RE: Tech: Web code weakness allows data dump on PC 02 Mar 13


It's important to understand that it's not a 'bug' in the normal sense. This is a perfectly standard facility in HTML5 code to allow storage of data on your computer, and is no different in principle to the storage of cookies.

Writers of code (eg for browsers) are recommended to set limits for the quantity of data stored. Most of them seem to have ignored this advice.
