Spell checker problem: http://samnewman.io/blog/2016/05/30/want-to-spell-check-read-the-fine-print/
The most popular spell checker for MS Visual Studio sends your stuff to a
third-party site and checks it there. What could possibly go wrong?
Besides the obvious leakage, code sometimes contains important embedded

Justin Schafer
An FBI swat team raided Justin Schafer's Texas home on May 24, 2016. The
raid apparently was the result of Schafer's exposure of a vulnerability in
the Eaglesoft dental software system of Patterson Dental. Schafer had
discovered that Patterson Dental kept protected patient information on an
anonymous FTP server (that is, an FTP server that does not require a
password to access the stored documents). Patterson Dental claimed to the
FBI that Schafer's access of this FTP server was "unauthorized" and hence a
felony under the CFAA. Schafer had earlier notified Patterson Dental, and
had not published his results until the data was secured, or at least no
longer accessible without a password. More at www.dailydot.com/politics/justin-shafer-fbi-raid/.
