I updated iPhone and AW to the latest software, and when I’m wearing a mask and I have closed eyes, my iPhone get unlocked. So when I’m sleeping with Apple Watch on my wrist, someone can put a mask on my face and unlock my iPhone? Don’t foget to lock your AW! @Apple fix it.
Omg we did it! 🤩
Thanks to the community feedback (and ya, bad press) Apple decided to remove the ContentFilterExclusionList (in 11.2 beta 2)
Means socket filter firewalls (e.g. LuLu) can now comprehensively monitor/block all OS traffic!!

In Big Sur Apple decided to exempt many of its apps from being routed thru the frameworks they now require 3rd-party firewalls to use (LuLu, Little Snitch, etc.) 🧐
Q: Could this be (ab)used by malware to also bypass such firewalls? 🤔
A: Apparently yes, and trivially so 😬😱😭
When you use #WhatsApp, you share your mom's number with Facebook. And your child's number. And your psychologist's number. And they know when you call them.
Feel comfortable?
Uh-oh. WhatsApp's canary just died; they removed the statement that they never have access to your private keys. If you were using it because of its privacy, it's time to find something else. x.com/Shiftreduce/status/134…
WhatsApp users beware: the app will now force users to agree to share data (i.e. phone numbers, other people’s numbers stored in address books, location, etc.) w/Facebook (even if you've previously opted out).
Time to switch to @signalapp!
