A prominent security researcher is urging users of Apple s Safari browser to immediately turn off the AutoFill feature to block hackers from stealing sensitive information. Jeremiah Grossman, founder and Chief Technology Officer of WhiteHat Security, says the feature can be hacked to steal data from the computer s address book.
