🚨 Apple's Hide My Email may not be as private as you think.

A researcher claims they can reveal the real email address behind any Hide My Email alias, and says Apple has known about it for over a year without fully fixing the issue.

If true, this impacts far more than spam protection. It could expose journalists, activists, researchers, and anyone relying on email aliases for privacy.

I've broken down:
🔍 How the vulnerability works (without revealing exploit details)
📅 The disclosure timeline
⚠️ Why it matters
📧 What Apple users should do right now

GitHub itself got breached this week. Around 4,000 code repositories taken, and the group behind it says they’ll sell the source rather than ask for ransom.

Even the platform that hosts the world’s code is a single point that can be hit.

It’s exactly why Zerion treats GitHub as a public mirror, not a dependency. The code is GPLv3 and can live anywhere. Nothing critical relies on it staying up.

Privacy apps love the phrase "zero-knowledge", which tells you nothing. Simply put, I built Catchlight so I can't read your notes. Not "we promise not to look", genuinely can't.

They're encrypted on your phone with a key only you hold, before they ever leave the device. If Considus vanished tomorrow, your notes wouldn't even notice.

"The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that people have an expectation of privacy from the government as their mobile devices track them throughout their daily activities, even when that information is shared with companies like Google and Apple.

The 6-3 decision in Chatrie v. United States extends Fourth Amendment protections to data that people hand over to tech companies, meaning police need a warrant to obtain it. Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas dissented.

The Trump administration argued that users did not have an expectation of privacy after voluntarily sharing their location data with companies like Google.

“An individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in records about his cell phone’s location, and police intrude on that constitutionally protected interest when they demand the information — even though for only a limited time, and from a third-party tech company,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the majority.

The case involves a 2019 bank robbery in Virginia, where police arrested Okello Chatrie after using a geofence warrant to locate all devices near the scene of the crime."

Researchers found residential proxy SDKs in 2,058 LG webOS and Samsung Tizen smart TV apps, allowing many devices to share internet connections through proxy networks. 📺
The findings raise privacy and security concerns, as internet-connected TVs can run background activity for years with little user visibility or control. 🔒

This is a privacy victory. It deserves to be celebrated. The Supreme Court ruled that geofence warrants violate the Fourth Amendment, 6–3.

However, there’s a hidden detail that is worth flagging. And it’s not good.

This ruling arose from Chatrie v United States. Google gave generic cell phone records to the cops. No specificity means unconstitutional. Maybe.

The federal judge on the case agreed that it was unconstitutional. But she allowed evidence from the violation to be used anyway. Why? She cited that “even if there had been a violation of the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement officials had acted in good faith.”

In. Good. Faith.

This translates to “cops can violate the constitution if we believe their intentions are good.”

How many cops do you know who act in good faith?

Another Cassandra moment for many privacy professionals.

What we have been warning about for a while now is finally happening: whatever remained of the legal framework for sending personal data to the United States is in shambles due to a recent Supreme Court decision.

Companies, if you haven't cut ties with US-based services by now, brace yourselves for trouble and a great deal of uncertainty.

P.S.: We told you so!
