Ask HN: Risks of using online developer tools

3 pointsby narengowdaabout 3 years ago
I am sure there is a clear security risks of using online tools like 1. JsonFormatter 2. YAML validator 3. SQL formatter 4. Image converter 5. PDF converter many more...<p>I am looking for real world examples&#x2F;cases of security vulnerability&#x2F;issues you&#x2F;your company encountered. This helps me to make a case at my company to implement a company wide deployment of these tools(open source) as internal tools for developers to use.

Not an example, but there&#x27;s potential to expose (give them) private or sensitive data.

May items from your list running on Windows 10 be considered as online developer tools?
