There are several known exploits that do much the same thing, but also
provide a backdoor listener on a predefined port.  The intruder connects
to that port and gets a command shell (or gets the capture log).  I am
more afraid of that possibility (getting my passwords, etc) than just
knowing what I'm doing.

Beware of spyware, trojans, tracking invisible GIFs, pop-unders, etc.
There is a lot of tracking going on out there and it's only getting
worse.
