Have you watched a YouTube video lately in a country where English is widely used?
If so, we’re willing to bet that you’ve seen an advert for Grammarly, an online spelling and grammar checker.
In fact, we’ll suggest you’ve seen the Grammarly ad many times, perhaps even very many times – we certainly have.
The ads seem to be working, with the product currently closing in on 1,000,000 installs in Firefox, and already claiming more than 10,000,000 in Chrome.
As the product pitch in the Firefox add-on store explains:
Once you register your new account, you will start to receive weekly emails with personalized insights and performance stats (one of our most popular new features). Working on a large project, an essay, or a blog post? No sweat. You can create and store all of your documents in your new online editor.
In other words, your Grammarly account ends up knowing a lot about you, and holding copies of a lot of what you’ve written.
A security hole in Grammarly could therefore tell crooks much more about you than you’d like them to know.
