Sean O'Brien (diggity@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 04-Jun-2019 12:05:36 EDT Sean O'Brien well, this event eclipses the 2016 Quest breach by an order of magnitude... I wonder how similar the attack vector / methodology was between the two.

Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 03-Jun-2019 13:50:03 EDT Electronic Frontier Foundation New research based on publisher data has found that using invasive tracking for ads brings publishers just 4% more in revenue than ads that don't rely on tracking. Publishers should reevaluate the real costs and benefits of invasive ads. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/06/research-shows-publishers-benefit-little-tracking-ads

jj (jj@social.privacytools.io)'s status on Friday, 24-May-2019 08:13:09 EDT jj @privacylab Between Facebook and Instagram, CrossFit had 6 million followers. This was a brave move that I hope will set an example for more companies.
Quote from announcement: "Facebook collects, aggregates, and sells user information as a matter of business. Its business model allows governments and businesses alike to use its algorithmically conjured advertising categories as sophisticated data-mining and surveillance tools."

Yale Privacy Lab (privacylab@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2019 08:44:30 EDT Yale Privacy Lab it's worth thinking about the design of the WhatsApp exploit - did NSO get inspiration from the January FaceTime bug? Be sure to update or (better) switch to Signal, Wire, @matrix, Jitsi Meet, or Jami/GNU Ring.
