Sure. Google location tracking "bad" and Apple data harvesting "good", but it's pretty hack to see articles popping up about how poor Android trackers are compared to AirTags.
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/46Q

Ignoring the security nightmare AirTags were at launch, the assumed permissions Apple just takes for the Find My network, and the annoying (and scary looking) process Apple forces users through to OPT OUT of location tracking, it's shocking how well Google is doing only a couple weeks into this new finder network going live.

David Ross, one of the early pioneers of browser security research, has passed away, his family announced on Twitter.

In 1999, together with Georgi Guninski, he authored the first paper on XSS attacks named "Script Injection".

He also worked on implementing X-Frame-Options in Internet Explorer.

The Cyber Partisans say they hacked the Belarusian State University.

The group claims it obtained documents and audio records from the university's internal network showing how its leadership dismissed staff and students who participated in anti-government protests.

The files show that the university declined to admit new students who participated in protests and left comments online against the dictatorship.

Analyst1 has published a report that looks at the history of a ransomware operation named RansomHouse.

Researchers say the platform has been used by threat actors with links to ransomware gangs such as White Rabbit, Mario ESXi, RagnarLocker, and Dark Angels (Dunghill Leak).

Not to be confused with RansomHub, which is a different ransomware group.

Bei einem #heise-Artikel zu #Apple und #Security einen Kommentar schreiben, ist immer wieder eine sehr "interessante" Erfahrung.

Meistens wird man da attackiert, die unabhängigen Quellen, die man brav einbindet ignoriert oder heruntergespielt und auf persönlicher Ebene angegriffen. 🤷
