In ads: Our apps mind their business. Not yours.
In court: Given Apple’s extensive privacy disclosures, no reasonable user would expect that their actions in Apple’s apps would be private from Apple.

this Galentine’s / Palentine’s/ Valentine’s Day, do you want to learn the secret to everlasting love?
my secret is writing a book ✨ because a book or creative project will never let you down or cheat on you or leave you or get tired of you rambling about your special interests for hours and hours, in fact that is the whole point and if you create for yourself, you can be beautiful weirdos together, forever 💞

Google Authenticator still syncs two-factor authentication secrets without E2EE. If you enable cloud syncing, this means:
1️⃣ Google can read the secrets and generate one-time passwords for your accounts
2️⃣ Google knows the services you use
3️⃣ #Google knows your usernames
4️⃣ Given a court order, Google is obliged to hand over this data to law enforcement

BREAKING: #Israeli private investigator arrested for cyberespionage on behalf of American PR firm.
Caught by UK under #RedNotice from 🇺🇸US while boarding a flight.
BIG TWIST in a wild case that began w/our @citizenlab investigation into indian hack-for-hire group #belltrox
Sound familiar?
Because Amit Forlit is the *second* PI from #Israel arrested in similar way for this case.
First = convicted.

Coming to #RSAC? Please join us at the Cyber Nonprofits Reception Tuesday, May 7th 6PM-7:30PM to chat with us and others on the role nonprofits play in making the Internet more secure for everyone. All are welcome! #RSAC2024 #cybersecurity
Apparently Google accidentally deleted all online data from UniSuper, a superannuation fund with half a million members.
UniSuper was only able to restore from backups from a different service. If they'd been solely relying on Google, then UniSuper and their members would be screwed.
Google says "This is an isolated, ‘one-of-a-kind occurrence’" But I'm seeing reports on Lemmy claiming to have dealt with similar problems with Google, suggesting this only the first *major* customer it has happened to.
In any case, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Even that that basket tries to make it ever-so-convenient for you to give them everything.
A lot of great activity at #RSAC, incl. a panel on #CommonGoodCyber to create sustainable funding for #cybersecurity #nonprofits as current investments do not adequately support Internet-enabled social and economic progress for everyone. And an informative panel on #elections and security, plus a really fun reception for NonprofitCyber where so many top #nonprofits in this space could get together!

A hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that targeted auction house Christie’s earlier this month.
The attack took place just before the start of its high-profile spring sales event involving more than $850 million worth of art. Online bidding was suspended, but the group claims it has accessed sensitive information about wealthy art collectors around the world, and is threatening to release it unless “an agreement” is reached. Digital Trends has more.
Two years in, the #CyberCivilDefense initiative is building momentum towards better #cybersecurity for everyone.

Researchers at iVerify found a vulnerability in Google Pixel phones linked to "Showcase.apk," pre-installed on many devices since 2017. The software, used for retail demos, poses a risk of remote code execution. Google is planning to remove it in a future update.
NEW: #Cybersecurity Researcher Discovers Yet Another Flaw in Georgia’s #Voter Cancellation Portal

The flaw would have allowed anyone to submit a voter registration cancellation request for any Georgian using their name, date of birth and county of residence — information that is easily discoverable online.

Big for #CyberCivilDefense #cybersecurity:
New @consumerreports study on whether IoT companies make it easy to report security vulnerabilities. Too many -- including a toymaker, connected lock companies and makers of connected faucets -- don't have a way for researchers to responsibly report bugs. https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/research/consumer-reports-investigation-finds-many-major-iot-manufacturers-have-no-vulnerability-disclosure-programs/
