People think "‘I buy a Ring doorbell to put on my house, I control the footage’…But there is [an] entire secondary use of this device, which is by police that you don’t really get a lot of say in," EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social tells @Malwarebytes.com. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/podcas...
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
But Timothée could never be baaad!
My favorite way to shop is to have something on the to-buy list, wait two years, see that it’s discontinued, completely panic, and then get it half off on some resale site.
For @malwarebytes.com, I did a full interview about what the hell is happening with Amazon Ring, how did we get here, and what we can do about it.
I'd like "stop judging women or people presenting as women by your perception of their attitude rather than the actual work they do" but I will try to enjoy this scalp masque and sakura bath bomb instead. happy international women's day.
The most common misconception about consumer privacy is the idea that some company is going to hide you from the FBI for $5/month.
Either they're lying or misleading you, or they genuinely haven't been pressured into complying (because they aren't a significant barrier to the FBI finding you).

It’s so frustrating because I pointed this out in 2015 www.wired.com/2015/10/mr-r...
It is true that Proton is located in Switzerland and responded to a legal request from the Swiss authorities. But it is also true that most people do not know what an MLAT is and there is a widespread misunderstanding that using Proton will protect your account from US govt requests.
Oh awesome
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
I'm "it's so nice to not have anything to do today other than cleaning out my fridge and pantry" years old.
By me at this.weekinsecurity.com: In 2025, I found 3 popular apps leaking sensitive user data, thanks to simple security bugs. In this very deep-dive for subscribers, this is how I use network analysis tools like Burp to understand how apps and websites work & share your data, and how you can, too!
@puzzledpint.bsky.social Is there still a Phoenix chapter? haven't seen a location this month or last month...
LRS: I pointed out the MLAT issue with Proton for Wired back in 2015 www.wired.com/2015/10/mr-r...
Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.
The records provide insight into the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on its end-to-end encryption and that it is only governed by Swiss privacy law, can and does provide to third parties. In this case, the Proton Mail account was affiliated with the Defend the Atlanta Forest.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

In middle school (or maybe it was high school), I was home sick one day and called into my local radio station, and I called Danny Bonaduce a pig on air. (He said thank you.)
Quite the feat of reporting.
I googled “Weather” and instead of the weather widget, Google gave me an AI summary of a week old weather report from an unknown location in Alabama.
Happy Purim to those who celebrate! 🎭
I feel like I should say e2ee DMs to be on brand but bad search just messes up everything
