University researchers in the US have developed a new fingerprint capturing and browser spoofing attack called Gummy Browsers. They warn how easy the attack is to carry out and the severe implications it can have.

A digital fingerprint is a unique online identifier associated with a particular user based on a combination of a device's characteristics.
