Re: The other evil

said by swhx7:

And among other things, the phorm system installed at an ISP redirects requests (there's a request when you click a link or bookmark, or type in a URL) invisibly to a user, and "impersonates" the destination site long enough to contaminate the request/response with Phorm code.
You mean like a proxy server?

That link is a report done on the system phorm want to employ, it was authored by Dr Richard Clayton of the University of Cambridge.

Phorm have not disputed any of the claims made in Dr Clayton's report, as you will see, it is far more reaching than any simple proxy.

The system actually forges cookies, even for sites that don't use them, it employs multiple redirects to achieve their forgery, and is generally very intrusive.

»www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/about/ Dr Clayton has also made several postings to that blog with regard to the phorm situation.
