How Risky Are Real Users' IFTTT Applets?
summary
Study collects and analyzes 732 applets from 28 participants using a browser extension and surveys to add context beyond public IFTTT listings. An automated lattice analysis first flags 59% of applets as having secrecy or integrity violations but contextual labeling and impact assessment reduce actionable risk to 14% likely to cause secrecy or integrity harms. The work also identifies new concerns: 20% pose surveillance risks to incidental users and 25% could mislead recipients about trustworthiness of information.
