We're working on something with our friends at #CryptoHarlem.
You might know of hackathons as events where teams can build new and inventive features outside of their official roadmap.
This hackathon is different. We're hosting an event for #hackers, researchers, and bug hunters to test the security of Hush Line, our new free and open-source whistleblowing platform.
📚 Just completed the 'Basics of Personal Threat Modeling' course by @privacyguides 🛡️
Threat modeling is crucial because it helps identify and prioritize the most probable security and privacy risks. It enables focused resource allocation, tailored defenses, and heightened awareness.
Sometimes I'm busy and can't read at that moment, so I save the article/news as plain text in a PDF file to read it later. It works most of the time, but it's not perfect.
You'll need: torsocks (optional), lynx and LibreOffice installed.
Save it as a #bash file like "pdf.sh", make it executable with "chmod +x pdf.sh" and then use it like this:
Let's talk briefly about what a tire-fire #Wyze is and why you shouldn't buy from them.
I attempted to order COVID tests from them near the start of the pandemic. They sold more than they had, I never received the tests I ordered, and cancelling the order was a nightmare.
But then they started spamming me.
In 2022 I unsubscribed from their #spam.

In February 2024 I asked them to delete my #Wyze account (created only to order the COVID tests).
They just spammed me again.
When I click the unsub link, the page it takes me to claims I'm already unsubscribed.
In addition to all this you're probably aware they've had numerous security and privacy issues with their products.
You really, really shouldn't patronize this company. #spam#privacy#security
Companies doing business in the United States should have liability for users and customers' personal information. Companies sharing that data with third parties should retain that liability, and the third parties should accrue additional liability. (NOT assume responsibility for the liability!) By liability, I don't mean "pay for credit monitoring from a company that has previously lost the same data", I mean cash on the barrel head, payable to the customer liability. #privacy#pii#security
"Through our phones, we are under perpetual surveillance by companies that buy and sell data about what kind of person we are, whom we might vote for, what we might purchase, and what we might be nudged into doing."
Is ProtonVPN & Mullvad affected by this attack? I use both of these services on daily basis. If they affected how can I mitigate this? #tech#privacy#linux#proton#mullvad
I sent my preferred #VPN service in ProtonVPN (at @protonprivacy) an email about this and hope they respond to this serious claim. You should do the same for your preferred service (consumer, enterprise, self hosted too).
If you're using GNU/Linux. Please use opensnitch, it's criminally underrated. It notifies you of network requests made in real time, and you can choose to allow them or not (it comes with a lot of filtering options as well): https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch
YES! "Supermarkten die gezichtsherkenning willen inzetten om winkeldiefstal tegen te gaan of eigendommen en medewerkers te beschermen maken hierbij een forse inbreuk op de privacy van klanten, waarbij de privacy zwaarder weegt dan de private belangen van de supermarkt. Dat stelt de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) in een vandaag gepubliceerd juridisch kader over de inzet van gezichtsherkenning."
