The final hours. The last chance. But not the last fight.Today, Germany said NO to ChatControl This could be the turning point But it is not the end.If tomorrow we manage to block this proposal - it will be a victory But digital freedom does not defend itself. It must be protected. Every day. In every decision. In every update. In every voice Now is the time to do everything that is still left:- Write to your MEP - Share information - Mobilize others - Do not stay silent Because even if we win tomorrow - it is only the beginning. Because even if we lose - it is not the end.Freedom does not vanish loudly. It disappears quietly Unless we defend it #ChatControl #FightChatControl #CSAR #EU #EuropeanUnion #Europe #Encryption #Privacy #Security #Cybersecurity #Freedom #DigitalFreedom #Democracy #HumanRights #Surveillance #StopSurveillance #StopScanningMe #Resistance #Policy

Both digital messaging and PKI are older than I am. There's some complex theory there that I don't fully understand, but the basics are simpler than the basics of making a bed. BUTPrivacy/security is hardly taught in schools. That is in my mind the primary underlying issue causing people to be ridiculously vulnerable to privacy violations right now.In 2025 knowing how to encrypt a message should be of superior educational value than tying shoes.#cryptography #security #chatControl

Messaging service WhatsApp discovers advanced cyberespionage campaignWhatsApp said Friday it discovered an advanced cyberespionage effort that took advantage of a chain of security vulnerabilities in the app and Apple devices to hack them. #Whatsapp #meta #apple #iphone #ios #cyberespionage #security #cybersecurity #hackers #hackinghttps://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/whatsapp-finds-new-hacking-campaign-targeting-fewer-than-200-people-2025-08-29/

1.500 Leute bei WhatsApp können einfach so deine IP, Standort und Kontakte klauen – und niemand merkt’s.Attaullah Baig, der ehemalige Sicherheitschef, hat’s jahrelang angeprangert: keine Kontrolle, keine Protokolle, 100.000 gekaperte Accounts pro Tag. Statt zu handeln, wurde er mundtot gemacht und gefeuert. Jetzt zieht er rechtlich gegen Meta vor Gericht. Die Antwort des Konzerns? „Alles nur Lügen!“.Doch WhatsApp wirbt weiter mit „Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung“ – als wäre das der Heilige Gral. Dabei ist es nur Augenwischerei.🤬 https://www.heise.de/news/Wegen-Sicherheitsmaengeln-Ex-Sicherheitschef-von-WhatsApp-klagt-gegen-Meta-10637116.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub#WhatsApp #Skandal #Lüge #Meta #Datenschutz #Security

@calyxinstitute @calyxos You could even generate a third keypair and use that for releases after the audit, so that the latest keys were never on a release with the old ones you're concerned about.This all seems like something to worry about only if the current private key was compromised / exposed and you said that didn't happen.

Guys, do you use YubiKey or similar devices? I've been using YubiKey hardware keys for 2 years now, and I feel much more at ease when a service supports hardware keys (for example, Proton, Apple, etc.)#security #internet #YubiKeys #hardware

@LorenzoAncora @lispi314 or maybe that they are lazy and want to use some fancy JS "framework" instead of writing proper HTML? I'm not a web developer myself but for most websites I could imagine HTML versions that do the job just as well. Maybe they don't look as fancy but I personally don't care about that.
