Question

Is Flow Surf safe?

Accepted Answer

Flow Surf is high risk. Our dynamic analysis confirmed: every time you type a search query into Google with more than two characters, Flow Surf's content script reads the query from the URL and sends a GET request to krdrvd.com/evt.php with the search term in plaintext. We captured this three times using a unique planted marker value — the term appeared in the 'value=' parameter on every request. The requests also include a persistent cohort identifier and your install timestamp, allowing the operator to build a cross-session record of your searches. Our dynamic analysis confirmed: when you install Flow Surf, it contacts krdrvd.com to obtain a persistent cohort identifier, which is then stored in the extension's local storage and attached to every subsequent search query sent to amfonts.com. We observed the same cohort ID appearing on all three planted marker value requests across different sessions (captured at observed requests), confirming that the identifier persists over time. This means your searches can be linked to each other and to your original install date, forming a durable behavioral profile.
