Security hole in FRAMAKEY / Portable Thunderbird - informations of the accounts users(description of parameters pop, name account, smtp, ...) are stored on the station which accomodates the FRAMAKEY in C:\Documents and Settings\"account user"\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\8ucj7p3m.default\prefs.js.
FRAMAKEY is a portable solution and the advantage is not to leave any trace on the station of reception of the FRAMAKEY. Especially because the FRAMAKEY will be used like wandering data carrier, therefore used regularly on multiple different stations. 
That poses a problem as for A data protection personal.

 

Reproducible: Always
