I have been concerned for some time about online privacy, and recently found out about a service called Blacklight that checks websites for malicious software, ad trackers, and other mischief. I have been using it to check every site I regularly visit, and decided to try it on DK. I was surprised when it produced the following result.
I understand that DK has ads, and accept that, but 43 third party cookies and that many ad trackers from just the front page? DK Mods, is this deliberate or have you been hacked? As of now I’m only going to access the site in private mode with a secure connection, and will close the browser after every use.
For those who want to check this site or others, the Blacklight site is at themarkup.org/… If I am wrong about this and that site is reading DK incorrectly, please let me know.
