Windows 11: Experiment shows how much data is given to third parties (VIDEO)
A dangerous amount of data is being sent without you even knowing it
Some of us may be aware but certainly not all of us are fully aware of how much data our PCs are sending to third parties, sometimes without our consent. Especially when we are dealing with private and personal data that is collected for advertising purposes or for geographic tracking.
You can see a sample of what is happening in the advertisements that are thrown either on the pages you visit or on social media.
Thanks to an experiment conducted by The PC Security Channel, Windows 11 is exposing privacy and the data it shares with third parties without you even knowing.
How did he do it? He installed a fresh version of Windows 11 on a PC and without doing anything else, he installed the Wireshark tool to detect which servers the PC is communicating with.
The result is disturbing and paints a grim picture of what’s going on behind the scenes with user data in Windows 11.
The Wireshark experiment on Windows 11 shows how much traffic there is on various servers, from Bing, Google, Steam, McAfee to some unknown and…strange locations.
One of these shadowy examples is ScorecardResearch.com, which according to its all-white, throwback page, studies and reports on Internet trends and behaviors.
In fact, in the experiment he compared the data provided by Windows 11 in relation to Windows XP and it is like night and day. See more in the video below:
