My bank phoned me last summer. I'd authenticated with my usual two factors but a new browser fingerprint, then transferred a large sum to a new recipient. The bank blocked the transfers I did thay day, then phoned me to check whether I'd been phished, suffered a keylogger attack or something.

I will admit that it always made me confused as to why browser has access to detailed hardware information. I can understand OS. I can understand resolution. I can rationalize GPU. I don't understand though why it should be able to access .. well, everything about the machine. edit: It is still impressive. Even with the firefox settings on, the website was able to identify me.

I think the misunderstandings about the GDPR (even many smart people don't get it) prove that designing and writing such a law is difficult and the result has to be complex. IMO the GDPR is good. But… it is poorly understood by many affected people . IMO if a law is poorly understood by the people it affects, then one should assume the law to be at fault, not the people. IMO it's good but I'm not happy. 4×IMO! Wow.
> IMO the GDPR is good. But… it is poorly understood by many affected people . IMO if a law is poorly understood by the people it affects, then one should assume the law to be at fault, not the people. You are assuming that it has to be either of them who is at fault. In reality there are third-parties who have been spewing FUD in order to confuse people about the law.
