Signal Desktop now blocks screenshots on Windows 11 by default to protect against Microsoft Recall, which periodically captures screen content. The move uses DRM flags to prevent sensitive messages from being recorded without consent.
Reuters confirms TeleMessage breach includes messages and metadata from over 60 US officials, including diplomatic, emergency, and Secret Service personnel.
@LorenAmelang TM SGNL uses the same Signal Protocol, so it's interoperable with Signal. But it adds an archiving feature that stores plaintext copies of messages on external servers, which undermines Signal's end-to-end encryption. Standard Signal users aren't affected unless they're communicating with someone using TM SGNL
DDoSecrets releases 410 GB of hacked heap dumps from TeleMessage, revealing plaintext chats and metadata from apps like Signal and WhatsApp. Only shared with journalists and researchers due to sensitive content.
Have I Been Pwned 2.0 is live with a full site rebuild, new dashboard, cleaner breach pages, dropped username/phone lookups, and better UX. Confetti and merch now included. API remains unchanged.
FCC's Brendan Carr ties telecom merger approvals to scrapping DEI policies. Verizon, T-Mobile comply; Charter/Cox deal now under review. Critics warn of civil rights rollback and potential media censorship.
Bankrupt 23andMe is selling its genetic data bank of 15M users to Regeneron for \$256M. A court-appointed privacy ombudsman will oversee the deal to ensure compliance with privacy policies. Regeneron will continue running 23andMe’s genomic services.

Telegram Gave Authorities Data on More than 20,000 Users

Proton may leave Switzerland if new surveillance law passes, requiring VPNs and messaging apps to log user data. NymVPN could follow. Critics warn this mirrors Russian policies.
@Salty I would disagree. I think it is not fair to oversimplify the issue as merely a coverage area issue and create a false dichotomy between coverage and whether SMS 2FA is 'bad'. There is no need to say that increasing cellular coverage benefits go beyond SMS and 2FA. On the other hand, sms 2fa is susceptible to Sim swapping, or interception (sms is not an encrypted protocol), and telecommunication networks can be exploited, sometimes too easily...
@klardotsh agree. I use banking and other services in Mexico that require a Mexican phone number. Since my country of residence is USA, there has been times where the sms 2fa code arrives hours, days after, if it arrives at all. I live in an area with plenty of coverage. I try to use topt and/or passkeys as much as possible, 2FA codes over email as a last resort. Yet there are many applications where the only option is SMS 2fa codes, or disable 2fa entirely.
Tinfoil uses secure GPU enclaves to run AI workloads with zero data access or retention. Data stays encrypted, verified by hardware attestation, removing trust from both app and cloud providers.
Coinbase says hackers bribed overseas support staff to steal customer data, demanding a \$20M ransom. Info included SSNs, IDs, and balances. Company won’t pay, offers \$20M reward for leads.
California’s health insurance exchange sent sensitive user data to LinkedIn via ad trackers, including pregnancy and abuse info. The trackers were removed, and the site is under review.

"People were affected by layoffs" sorry, no, that makes it sound like a rainstorm. "Management decided to lay off these people" please.
@cshlan yup, the issue is with Google play store and gatekeeping, not with the app itself. Many people are not aware that fdroid and others even exist
