They’re one of the largest tech media companies and deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it. Then they took sponsorships from Karma, which is a competitor to Honey that does the exact same thing.

How much you want to bet he uses Ad block himself but it’s suddenly different when YOU do it on HIS content?

Worse, setting DNT makes your browser more unique for fingerprinting.

Do you log in to Lemmy each time you open Tor or is there a way to save your logins somewhere?

I don’t know if this is standard on all authenticator apps or not but I like the fact that Ageis makes you enter your password once in a while so you don’t forget it.

Wish they’d at least support Fairphone.

If Graphene reached out to them I bet Fairphone would even actively work with them to make it an official OS option.

It’s almost as if a clown programmed it

This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don’t want you to use it then it must be doing something right.

Yeah because the police using a commercially available and ridiculously cheap device to copy data from your phone is totally unbelievable. I must be the crazy one.

News flash, they’re not FBI tier ultra classified tools anymore, you can find them on eBay for less than $1000. There’s a good chance that’s cheaper than the phone you have right now. You think a police department who is already intent on scrolling through your phone while “checking your ID” wouldn’t just put one in every cruiser?

There’s a good chance they have a Cellebrite in their car and will copy your entire phone’s storage over.

Trusting your security to Google is literally like trusting a fox to guard your hen house.

This video from a security researcher says that pretty much every software that uses WebP was affected though, and once the issue was discovered, Google made commits in their own codebase to “fix” it. Which suggests it’s an issue with the upstream source code that Google provided to everyone else.

It’s something that literally every dev has done at some point before they knew better.

If you’re working for a multinational tech company handling sensitive user data and still make this mistake, then you are being malicious in your incompetence. This is something that would cause you to lose a significant amount of marks on a first year college programming project, let alone a production system used by literally billions of people.

that logged unencrypted password data

Why the fuck would you need to log a password ever? This is absolutely malice and not incompetence.

Hanlon’s Razor revised: Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, except where there is an established pattern of malice.

Does anyone remember an article/interview a while back where Mark Fuckerberg shamelessly admitted that he chose not to hash passwords in the original Facebook codebase specifically because he wanted to be able to log into his users’ other accounts that use the same password? I swear I remember reading something like this but now I can’t find it.

There’s a reason the French beheaded the clergy alongside the nobility.
