Zillow Session Replay Wiretapping of Website Visitors Illinois Complaint

October 14, 2022

The practice of “wiretapping” may now include wiretapping or intercepting communications on websites. The complaint for this class action alleges that Zillow Group, Inc. has had third-party vendors, such as Microsoft Corporation, embed snippets of JavaScript computer code (known as Session Replay code) on its website. This code allows it to replay visitors’ communications with the website in a way that the complaint says violates the Illinois Eavesdropping Act.
