An article published on May 29, 2026 describes a timing side channel that uses the browser's Origin Private File System to measure SSD latency in an ordinary tab. According to the report, the measurement reached 88% accuracy in identifying visited sites and 95% in detecting launched desktop applications. The article highlights that activity across applications may be revealed without special permissions or native code.

To assess the result, consult the original article and check how its tests, samples, and accuracy metrics were defined, as well as the limitations stated by the authors; reported figures do not guarantee the same performance in other environments. If you use AI to study or apply the material, avoid sending internal or identifiable data unless necessary, and follow your organization's policy. Verify the conclusions against the original publication.
