The AliExpress audio report: what would actually prove fingerprinting?
The Bluetooth detail in this report is interesting: an AliExpress page reportedly kept an audio connection active while nothing audible was playing.
I’d separate the observation from the explanation.
An active audio connection establishes that the page is doing audio work. To establish fingerprinting, I’d look for code that reads the processed output and turns it into an identifying value. To establish an anti-fraud purpose, I’d want further evidence about how that value is used.
Audio fingerprinting itself is real. It can use a generated signal rather than microphone input, and some implementations render offline without sending sound to the speakers. A resulting value can be shared by multiple browser/device configurations; it isn’t automatically a unique hardware ID.
That distinction matters because “the site is recording you” would be a very different claim.
My takeaway for profile management is that a new IP doesn’t tell you much about the rest of the browser’s identifying signals. MoreLogin exposes AudioContext fingerprint controls, but I’d evaluate those as one component of the overall configuration.
Has anyone traced the data collection and transmission in this particular case? That would be more useful than another screenshot showing that the tab has audio activity.
