“So they can capture things like your bank account user name and password, even if you use a password safe?”
A password safe might help. But for those who don’t use one they are gathering your credentials and IP of the sites you are in. And because they are over your shoulder riding in with you they very well could be gathering even more data.
It is not good. There should not be a second IP address from Google attached to yours when you are logging in other sites thinking you are secure. I suspect this second IP address is a real time direct API connection to Google.
Is what Google is doing illegal?
I run the site at AmericanStasi.com, and have been a pretty high priority target of surveillance for a while.
Is it possible due to your online activity in politics, or your security work, you are a target of intelligence, and this is them attacking you specifically? Google is basically a CIA project now, and fully owned by the intelligence community.
Have you had others replicate what you are seeing?
