ISPs installing spyware called "Phorm"
Submitted by Shiny on Mon, 20/04/2009 - 12:30Privacy on the internet will be hugely compromised for most of Britain thanks to "Phorm", a spyware product that is to be installed by several major ISPs.
Phorm will:
deliver targeted advertising based on user browsing habits by using deep packet inspection. It is one of several companies developing behavioral targeting advertising systems, seeking deals with ISPs to enable them to analyse customers' websurfing habits in order to deliver targeted advertising to them. Others include NebuAd and Front Porch.
Phorm intercepts every single webpage requested by the ISP's customers, and alters the page on the way back to your browser. Phorm builds up a profile of you, and alters the page to add advertising.
Wikipedia has officially and formally sent "opt out" to the makers of phorm.
