Privacy and security on computing devices need to become far stronger to protect people from pervasive violations of their rights. Users have their privacy pervasively violated by corporations, criminals and governments. There are endless privacy and security weaknesses in software with exploits of those happening on a large scale. Operating systems, browsers and other apps need to do a much better job protecting users. Enormous progress is needed on both privacy and security.
Starting a series on Android privacy settings. We'll cover how to audit and lock down your device's privacy configuration step by step. Applies to stock Android (Pixel); Samsung/other OEMs may have slightly different menu names. #AndroidPrivacy #PunkPrivacy by the way you can find collection to iPhone privacy posts here: https://social.ssbx.dev/tags/iphoneprivacy
Navia Benefit Solutions quietly exposed 2.7 million people's SSNs, health plan data, and personal info — through a read-only API flaw, no malware required. Attackers had access for 24 days before detection. Your workplace benefits admin is a privacy risk you never consented to.

Your government is buying your location data — no warrant needed. Federal agencies pay data brokers millions for bulk cell phone location info that would otherwise require a court order. Congress is pushing back, but the practice continues. This is the 4th Amendment loophole hiding in plain sight.

Paywalled article, but ... Isn't fridge suppose to actually store your food rather than display ads? When you bought it were you buying a fridge or ad machine? Yet another reason to have network wide ad-blocker.

A hacker group recently broke into the platform managing school records for 11 million students across 3,200 U.S. districts — through one employee's Salesforce account. All it took is just one login. This is a hidden risk of centralized EdTech forced onto students by school districts. Based on an article students information hopefully was not impacted. Kids shouldn't be data points in someone's CRM and should have a choice of tech to use. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/infinite-campus-warns-of-breach-after-shinyhunters-claims-data-theft/ #StudentPrivacy
The EU Commission recently confirmed a cyberattack on its cloud infra. This is the problem with centralized data: the bigger the target, the bigger the breach. Privacy isn't just about policy. Open source tools that eliminate single points of failure aren't a niche concern anymore - they're the only rational response to a world where no cloud, institution or vendor is immune.
What would a privacy-first internet look like if this was the default design, not the exception? https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/27/european-commission-confirms-cyberattack-after-hackers-claim-data-breach/
