Ben Ploni
Security Researcher & Independent Journalist
Ben Ploni is an independent security researcher and journalist specializing in browser fingerprinting, web privacy, and client-side security. His work focuses on exposing the invisible mechanisms websites use to track, identify, and profile users without their knowledge or consent.
His research has produced interactive demonstrations of over two dozen browser data collection techniques, from canvas fingerprinting and WebRTC IP leaks to social login detection and audio context analysis. These tools make abstract surveillance threats tangible and accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Through Benploni Media, he covers the security conference circuit, emerging privacy technologies, and the ongoing tension between user tracking and defensive tooling. His coverage prioritizes original research, reproducible methodology, and responsible disclosure.
