🍪🤡 Ah yes, the classic "Let's protect data by asking for more data!" approach. Nothing screams privacy like a 403 Forbidden Error as your age guardian. Truly, a masterpiece of tech innovation! 🚫🔓

En français, c’est bien UN MILLIARD de comptes bancaires potentiellement concernés dans le monde par la fuite des données personnelles les plus sensibles (identité, financières,...)
En France ça ne fait « que » 52 millions...

Someone replied to this post that it is MY JOB to read all privacy policies and terms of use. I disagree.
We live in a democracy. That’s precisely why we have laws, regulators, and public institutions, to ensure that companies follow fair rules and don’t take advantage of people. It’s neither realistic nor reasonable to expect every individual to read and fully understand dozens of lengthy, complex legal documents just to participate in everyday digital life.
Consumer protection exists for a reason. Accountability shouldn't depend on how much free time or legal expertise each person has; it should be built into the system.

C’est ma tournée aujourd'hui... On continue de vouloir faire confiance à des tiers pour gérer nos données personnelles les plus sensibles ?

Effrayant (article en anglais).
Voici vers quoi la société de contrôle va. Toutes vos données les plus sensibles vers des compagnies américaines. Difficile de penser à autre chose qu’une surveillance généralisée qui se met en place, dans la torpeur générale et sans aucune voix politique chez nous pour même en parler.

Hello everyone! It's been a slightly quieter 24 hours in the cyber world, but we still have some interesting developments to cover, including a peek into AI-assisted malware development and a significant data privacy gaffe. Let's dive in:
AI-Assisted Info-Stealer Experiment: Arkanix Stealer 🤖
- A new information-stealing malware, Arkanix Stealer, was promoted on dark web forums for a brief period in late 2025 before its author abruptly took it down.
- Kaspersky researchers found strong indicators of Large Language Model (LLM) involvement in its development, suggesting an experiment to rapidly build and deploy malware, potentially reducing development time and costs.
- Arkanix offered extensive data-stealing capabilities, targeting browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, VPN credentials, and gaming platforms, with a premium C++ version adding advanced features like the ChromElevator post-exploitation tool.

Cornwall Council's Data Breach Blunder ⚠️
- Cornwall Council in the UK is facing a data breach claim after allegedly exposing the personal details of ten complainants to the subject of their complaints, Cllr Dulcie Tudor.
- Despite four individuals requesting redaction, the council's process failed, with Cllr Tudor gaining access to names, home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers simply by opening the attached complaint files.
- This incident highlights critical flaws in the council's data handling procedures and raises concerns about compliance with data protection regulations, prompting an immediate review of how sensitive information is processed and shared.

Well well, I’m getting happier by the day.
Sensitive files need to disappear, not hide in Trash. VaultSort's Rust implementation overwrites data at the byte level before deletion. On-device only. You control the process, not a cloud service. #MacApps #DataPrivacy
👁️ Smart glasses with native facial recognition. Residential surveillance networks. License plate tracking.
As biometric wearables and AI-powered surveillance tools proliferate, the conversation around consent, oversight, and civil liberties has never been more urgent.
Where do we draw the line?
