The most interesting type of replyguy is the meta-replyguy (as in the greek prefix, not the tech company).

»8,8 Millionen infizierte Browser: Sicherheitsforscher decken koordinierte Angriffskampagne auf«
Neu ist das nicht aber sehr weit auswirkend, da viele gedankenlos jegliche Browser Plugins nutzen. Ich frage mich nun, welcher Staat oder/und Konzern hinter DarkSpectre steckt. Nutzt nicht jegliche Add-ons gedankenlos und dann auch nur sehr wohl gezielt.
