#ProtonMail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain
「 The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual using the pseudonym ‘Xuxo Rondinaire.’ This individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement 」
📚 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.
#Cars#Privacy#DataProtection#Honda#Surveillance: "I wanted to turn off data collection on my car because it’s creepy and I thought the option would be simple. It turns out that shutting off data collection and figuring out what’s been collected is much more difficult than it would seem. I know because it took me — a reasonably informed and technologically savvy person — a month to finally do so.
I’m in good company.
“It’s comically difficult,” Thorin Klosowski, a security and privacy activist at Electronic Frontier Foundation, who’s written about how to do just this, told me. “I do this for a living and I am not 100% positive I have gotten everything correct, which is ridiculous.”
In March, my husband and I bought a new Honda. When I turned on the car to leave the dealership, I got a notification telling me that data sharing was on. Right next to “on” was an “off” button. Simple enough! But when I hit “off” I got a message telling me it was “unable to change settings while network is invalid.” Right.
My children were screaming at me from the back seat, so I assumed this was a problem I could easily fix another time."
Age assurance is in the news again today. Sadly this isn’t a magic solution and will instead expose users to increased cybersecurity and privacy risks and drive under 18s towards less controlled spaces to obtain and share restricted files. #onlinesafety#privacy#digitalharms
#e2ee is a goal, not a promise. As far back as I can remember, forums like those supporting #Enigmail and #gpg were staffed with volunteers from the privacy community who repeatedly insisted on answering questions, like, "Is <this> (whatever this might be) totally secure?" with stock questions like, "What is it that you consider 'totally secure?" or answers such as, "Secure is a relative term, nothing is completely secure, how secure do you need your mission's communications to be?"
Phrases such as, reasonably secure should be indicators of how ridiculous it is to assume that any secure platform isEVERcompletely, and totally secure.
That begs the question, "Exactly how secure do you require your communications to be?" The answer is always, ... relative.
Which means that you should always believe Ellen Ripley when she says, "Be afraid. Be very afraid!"
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
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
