AT&T, Verizon Using 'Perma-Cookies' to Track Customer Web Activity

October 29, 2014

MacRumors:

Both Verizon and AT&T appear to be engaging in some unsavory customer tracking techniques, using unique identifying numbers to deliver targeted advertisements to customers in what's called “Relevant Advertising.” As outlined by Wired, Verizon is altering the web traffic of its customers by inserting a Unique Identifier Header or UIDH, a temporary serial number that lets advertisers identify Verizon users on the web.

According to Jacob Hoffman-Andrews of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the UIDH serves as a “perma-cookie” that can be read by any web server to “build a profile” of internet habits. Verizon users cannot turn off the UIDH, but opting out of the Relevant Mobile Advertising Program prevents the information from being used to create targeted ads.

Despicable.

If you're a Verizon customer you're stuck, but if you're on AT&T, you can opt out of this fairly easily. Turn off wifi on your device so that you are connected only through AT&T's network, then go to http://205.234.28.93/mobileoptout/ and opt out.

Restore hunt?

If you're switching from another device, you can restore your progress here.

If you found this randomly, I recommend doing the hunt yourself, but you do you.

(Just basic tasks?)

(Hard cube tasks too?)

(Here on accident?)

legend!

May your name be forever emblazoned on the Bonk leaderboard.

Truly, thank you for exploring this website.

Now go forth and make Easter eggs!

(Again?)

To do (as well) :

  • Solve the cube in 4 moves or less
  • Scramble the cube by at least 50 turns, flip it, and reset it (for more fun: solve before resetting)

You probably need a touch device for the rest of these. If you switch devices, long-press the Easter egg to restore your progress.

  • Make it to level 9 in Bonk
  • ?????????????
  • Make it to level 10 in Bonk
  • ?????????????
  • Make it to level 11 in Bonk

(Sick of this?)

(Miss victory?)

Congrats!
