How This Briefing Works
This report opens with key findings, then maps the gaps between what Eltoro discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection data and evidence underneath.
Key Findings
Pre-Consent Activity
Eltoro was observed loading and executing before user consent was obtained on 8% of sites where it was detected.
Claims vs. Observed Behavior
pending
“Unknown - requires claims extraction via CDT”
Runtime evidence shows C07/C09 patterns
What This Means For You
What To Do About It
Role-specific actions based on observed behavior
If You Use Eltoro
- →Audit IP attribution methodology and accuracy claims
- →Confirm consent before IP tracking starts
- →Review data retention: how long are IP-to-household mappings stored?
If You're Evaluating Eltoro
- →Test: does Eltoro fire before consent banner?
- →Ask: what is IP-to-household accuracy rate and error handling?
- →Verify privacy policy discloses physical address inference from IP
Negotiation Leverage
- →C07 session recording feeds IP-based targeting. Is this disclosed in privacy policy?
- →C09 consent bypass observed. How do you enforce consent before IP attribution?
- →IP-to-household = sensitive data (physical address). What accuracy validation prevents misattribution?
Runtime Detections
BLACKOUT observed this vendor's JavaScript executing in a live browser and classified each hostile behavior using our BTI-C (Behavioral Threat Intelligence — Capability) taxonomy. These are not theoretical risks — each code below was triggered by something we watched this vendor's code actually do.
