A method of executing a sequence of tasks includes receiving a natural language input indicative of the sequence of tasks. The natural language input may include a first task and a plurality of possible next tasks for the first task. The tasks may each be associated with a playback performance skeleton, indicative of a series of actions to be carried out on a web page. The series of action may have been generated, ahead of time, from a recorded performance of a similar task. The first task may be arranged to be performed. Then, based on a result of the performance of the first task, a successive task from among a plurality of possible next tasks associated with the result of performance of the first task may be selected. The successive task may then be arranged to be performed.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to tracking and mitigating security threats and vulnerabilities in browser extension engines. A computing platform may receive, via the communication interface, an indication of a user request to use a first browser extension at a first user computing device. The computing platform may then analyze the first browser extension to identify one or more potential vulnerabilities in the first browser extension, including performing an examination process on code associated with the first browser extension. Based on identifying one or more potential vulnerabilities, the computing platform may thereafter determine whether the user has an exception associated with each potential vulnerability. Upon detecting no exception for the user, the computing platform may then identify at least one corrective action associated with each potential vulnerability and transmit, to the first user computing device, instructions to perform the at least one corrective action.

Methods and apparatus for extracting structured data from weblogs are disclosed. In some examples, the methods and apparatus include a web crawler to access a home page of a weblog, and identify a feed associated with the weblog. The methods and apparatus also include a feed finder to determine whether items in the feed contain sufficient content for feed-guided segmentation. The methods and apparatus also include a feed classifier to determine whether the items in the feed contain full content of the weblog. The methods and apparatus also include a wrapper to map data found in the feed into a representation of a weblog post, and screen scrape the weblog into the representation of the weblog post.

A method for seamlessly and automatically granting tailored permission for use and transference of internet data between databases with comprehensive consent is described. The method employs a graph language such as JSON-LD to integrate and employ cryptographically signed Information Sharing Agreements (ISA) between parties. Data is serialized to be easily transferred between databases when appropriate permission is obtained. Granular data exchange under usage control contacts can be automated among any number of parties on the internet. As such, the method provides a means by which users may control not only what may be done with their data, but to what entity or entities the data may be transferred. Advertisements may then be served to the user according to his or her preferences as defined within a web or desktop app, which is then applied to all related ad publishers publishing to the domains visited by the user.

A system and method for determining consent user interface validity for a provided consent user interface of a web form presenting consent information, comprising: accessing a consent user interface presented on a web form; determining one or more configuration attributes of the consent user interface; accessing one or more privacy regulations associated with presenting consent information; comparing the one or more configuration attributes of the consent user interface to each of the one or more privacy regulations; determining whether the consent user interface is compliant with each of the one or more privacy regulations; and in response to determining that the consent user interface is not compliant with one or more privacy regulations, flagging the consent user interface.

Embodiments of this application provide a hybrid-cloud data storage method and apparatus, a related device, and a cloud system. The data storage method includes: obtaining, by a gateway of a private cloud, to-be-stored data; determining partial data to be encrypted in the to-be-stored data, to obtain first target data; obtaining a first ciphertext obtained after the first target data is encrypted, the first target data being encrypted according to a first key provided by an encryption chip connected to the gateway; generating second target data including the first ciphertext according to the first ciphertext; generating a data slice corresponding to the second target data according to the second target data; and transmitting the data slice corresponding to the second target data to a public cloud for storage.
