Be aware: Never share your Signal recovery key with anyone! 🔑

Russian hackers are currently trying to phish this key from you, giving them access to your entire message history.

The 64-character-long backup key is the crown jewels of your Signal account. However, Signal still remains secure. End-to-end encryption is not broken!

In 2026, encryption is a joke. States don't crack keys; they use DPI to block protocol signatures and mandate client-side scanning. Running vanilla WireGuard now is just broadcasting a target to firewalls.

I built Celestride to kill the metadata trail. Zero passwords, OTP only. It uses VLESS-Reality to hijack trusted TLS 1.3 signatures. To your ISP, you’re just visiting Microsoft. No logs, no tracking.

My Supernote Nomad is an excellent offline e-ink note taking device. I want to have something similar for ebooks that's also privacy respecting.

I wish there was a GrapheneOS device that had an eInk display, I'd use that with a FOSS eBook reader and Calibre.

I like some of what Boox is putting out, but IDK how private it is. Any suggestions?

Don’t forget 🇮🇱⚠️ that Israel is facing serious allegations of mass atrocities 🩸❌. Israel-based firms have produced widely condemned spyware (e.g., Pegasus) that has been exported to government clients and reportedly misused to spy on Palestinians and many others 🇵🇸👁️. The broader pattern is that advanced surveillance tools are proliferating with too little accountability—across governments and political networks

Bitdefender VPN Review: Fast and Affordable Privacy

WhatsApp is begonnen met de wereldwijde uitrol van een systeem waarmee gebruikers alvast een unieke gebruikersnaam kunnen reserveren. De functie moet later dit jaar beschikbaar komen en maakt het mogelijk om met anderen te chatten zonder direct een telefoonnummer te delen. Volgens WhatsApp is de vernieuwing vooral bedoeld om de privacy van gebruikers verder te versterken.

Privacy centraal
Met de introductie van gebruikersnamen verschuift WhatsApp een deel van de identificatie op het platform van telefoonnummers naar unieke gebruikersnamen. Wie de functie activeert, kan nieuwe contacten laten communiceren via een gebruikersnaam, terwijl het telefoonnummer verborgen blijft. Voor bestaande contacten verandert er niets; zij blijven het gekoppelde telefoonnummer zien.

Volgens WhatsApp is de wijziging bedoeld voor situaties waarin gebruikers wel contact willen leggen, maar hun persoonlijke telefoonnummer liever niet direct delen. Dat kan bijvoorbeeld handig zijn bij groepsgesprekken, evenementen of eerste zakelijke contacten.

Na Schrems I (Safe Harbour ongeldig) en Schrems II (Privacy Shield ongeldig) zit er een Schrems III aan te komen. Schrems III richt de pijlen op het ongeldig verklaren van het EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Dit framework is basis voor de doorgifte van persoonsgegevens aan de Verenigde Staten, maar het is juridisch onhoudbaar geworden. Wat is er gebeurd?
