Google Gemini now has extensions that can for example use the content of your Gmail inbox, very practical but also very scary from a security/privacy perspective. #googlegemini#AI#extensies#security#privacy

An #NGO in #Japan has been dealing with weeks of criticism & turmoil for having a foreign logo in a presentation they submitted to the government.
The reason? Essentially, copying & pasting of copyrighted images & not realizing they were watermarked. It could have been avoided w/ some basic #data and #security practices.
Two Santa Cruz students uncover security bug that could let millions do their #laundry for free. #CSC ServiceWorks provides #laundrymachines to thousands of residential homes and universities, but the company ignored requests to fix a security bug.
Some companies do not even seem to care about #security at all even when their whole business model is in danger when they don't fix reported issues in time. 🤷
so tired of #signal app. How can I criticize it when I’ve never used it I would like to use it. I would like to use it very much. However I don’t own a smart phone. Which means I can’t register a desktop app which intern means I can’t use signal as even trying to create a virtual I machine running, android to download the mobile app to register my desktop app. Which failed. I don’t care how much you improve it until you’re actually inclusive. Signal is not a good app. You might also want to think about who are the people they don’t have access to their own smart phone. Think about other ways for users to register without a smart phone please. (running macos desktop)
WhatsApp introduces "ask meta ai" in the local chat search bar, and Slack auto-feeds messages to train their LLM robots https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/112455578857917485 ... Delta Chat is among the shrinking number of messaging applications that does not look at your data except to end-to-end encrypt it and send it over interoperable message transport servers chosen by yourselves and your contacts. #decentralization#security#privacy ftw!
CONTROVERSY! It's a little concerning. My phone keeps trying to connect to a mystery network, listed as an ISP WiFi that (to my knowledge) doesn't do business here in California. Has anyone else seen something like this? What's going on?
#WhatsApp uses the open-source #Signal protocol… However, encryption isn’t the whole story… WhatsApp and, by extension, all #Meta organizations know you sent something, when you sent it, and who you sent it to…
