Title: Internet Explorer tracks your cursor even when its minimised...
Post by: Gary on Dec 13, 2012, 08:38:37
A security researcher has published yet another reason not to use Internet Explorer for anything, under any circumstances: it can track your mouse cursor movements, even when it's minimised.

Affecting all versions newer than IE 6.0, and with no plans for a fix by Microsoft

Probably good for amnesiacs, at least your cursor can recall were you've been even if you can't!  >:D
