A vulnerability in internet browser Opera has been reported which can potentially leak your personal data to hackers.
The browser is reported to have a JavaScript vulnerability, which allows access to cookies and cache memory via another domain. Problems can arise when the cache retains sensitive information such as passwords and other private data.
The vulnerability was exposed by a researcher called Georgi Guninski who reported it on his website. Guninski said third parties would be able "to read the links in the user's cache and history, which at least has privacy implications if not more."
Jon Von Tetzchnor, CEO of Opera, said the company is constantly trying to improve security. "We are working to patch the problems mentioned and the upcoming version 6.0, which is in beta at the moment, will have more security features."
