Re: Email Notice Popups in Browser I have my android phone on WiFi and got the notices on it as well. This really concerns me, I'm not using Cox DNS and it's obvious they are modifying the page code before being sent to you... it really makes me question what else they may be doing... never seen an ISP do this before and deeply concerns me. |

I'm also perturbed by this. I'm using OpenDNS and Level 3 DNS and still saw the pop up. Call it paranoia, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're tracking everything we do online. |

On its face, this intrusion didn't involve tracking, but you can be 100% sure that EVERY ISP tracks and records every bit of user activity (easily done, since all internet traffic goes through them).
But, FWIW, the biggest problem with ISP code-injection exploits isn't the stuff they send TO you - that's merely an annoyance, it's what they potentially can get FROM you that should be of concern*.
* those who've installed any ISP programs on their machines needn't be concerned by this, since they've already given the ISP the potential to access to everything on their machines. |

"...ISP programs" ?? Could you provide example(s) of them?
Not sure what you refer to here.
Thanks |
