At least 18 different malicious extensions (as of 30 MAY and this post) identified by @WPalant
Remember extensions have privileged access to the browser (and data in the browser). Choose your extensions wisely... they could be #spyware or #malware in disguise.
Heaven for domestic abuse: a new spywaretool just up for grabs. It's like having Pegasus at home. What could possibly go wrong? Microsoft knows most families share their accounts or at least can easily log into eachothers accounts. They just choose to ignore it.
Lot's of people asking me why I filed a complaint against #YouTube for their illegal deployment of #spyware to detect #adblockers instead of simply paying for YouTube Premium.
The answer is simple - YouTube Premium has no ads but Google still use it to profile you for advertising on their other products.
I refuse to pay for any service which doesn't respect my fundamental rights.
And so should everyone else, because until they do, Alphabet will continue with their illegal #surveillance.
»New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC - Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."« 🤦♂️
Everyone is so up in arms about the 'recall' that's about to be baked into Windoze. Let me remind you that, during the pandemic, this thing was already widely rolled out in Teams and used by almost every company to spy on their remote employees, keystrokes, activity and all. All companies conveniently forgot to turn that off, until now. And no, I am not a tin-foil hat kinda guy, just a realist. #Windows#privacy#Spyware
Beware of #SONOFF Products in #HomeAutomation. If you have a choice, don't buy them! The #eWeLink App refuses to populate the WiFi Network to pair new devices if you do not deactivate 'Private WiFi Address' (MAC randomisation), 'Limit IP Address Tracking' & activate 'Location Services' and give access to 'Precise Location' on iPhone. #HomeAssistant . They even published a blog article about it, recommending to deactivate these vital protections, instead of fixing the App. #ChinaCloud#SpyWare 🤦
Clicking on the links in these #Twitter/@X replies to officials could lead to the infection of a device with #Predator mercenary spyware. Turning it into a spy in your pocket. Replies to:

❌ 🇪🇺EU & Asian officials

Glad I switched, fully, to #Linux a few months ago. I'm not a programmer or techie, and struggled with Linux in the past, but compared to a decade ago, the installation was really easy & it the user interface has improved dramatically.

Staatstrojaner: EU-Länder wollen Blankoscheck zum Ausspionieren von Journalisten
Eigentlich soll das geplante Medienfreiheitsgesetz Medien besser vor Überwachung durch Behörden schützen. Der EU-Rat hält mit "nationaler Sicherheit" dagegen.
Ben non attends j'utilise la version fork gallerie simple; dont tout le monde s'est rabattu après le rachat de simple mobile. Là il s'agit d'un fork, y a pas de liaisons avec l'entreprise vérolé qui l'a racheté. Ce message de simple mobile tools n'a donc rien à foutre ici.
Can I block the operation of an #Aternity browser extension by using a custom filter on #AdGuard on my router? Or perhaps using a @protonmail VPN config on my router?
I really don’t like my big bad business daddy digging into my personal health #data, communications, etc., & I don’t have admin rights on my PC to disable/remove it.
1/4 📰 @edri and 77 civil society and journalists' associations are calling on @Europarl_EN to ensure that journalists are completely protected from #spyware in the European #MediaFreedom Act #EMFA.
