The app, showcasing fingerprinting on iOS, is crazy. Some of the info, available to any app: - Global copy-pasteboard counter - Date of last phone reset - Apps can see some other installed apps - Lockdown mode status - Keychain data persisting across app uninstalls
Introducing Loupe, our latest privacy app for iOS. Discover what apps can learn about you just by reading data your iPhone already exposes, such as your languages, installed apps, device sensors, and much much more Loupe is free, private, and open source. Give it a try ๐Ÿ‘‡

Phishing and social engineering are getting more sophisticated at an exponential rate due to AI. Proton just let a phishing email go through to my inbox that I think will compromise tens of thousands of folks. How it seems to work: someone added my email to a real Google Group. They then sent out a message to all members of the group with subject line "Your Google data has been exported." Obviously this will cause many people to panic. The email went through to my inbox because it came from a legit google group from a legit Google URL. All links in the email look totally normal โ€“ unless you look at the link for "Cancel request" button. But amazingly this one also seems to come from a genuine Google URL โ€“ a URL shortener from Google! goo[dot]gl/XXXXX (not putting the real URL here). Then it takes you to (1) a Recaptcha screen and then (2) a genuine looking Google account login screen. It's hosted on a Google site (sites[dot]google[dot]com) so everything looks legit. Because all links are technically hosted by Google, this is very very bad.

There may also be a sophisticated MITM (man in the middle) passphrase compromise associated with this because it is a real Google URL. But I haven't been able to verify because I couldn't get it to show this screen again after page refresh.

My turn to call out quantum FUD. The new โ€œwe improved on Googleโ€™s Bitcoin-breaking quantum circuitโ€ story is, in my view, a nothingburger. Roughly: Google obscured details of a particular circuit. Researchers reverse-engineered it and found a more efficient way to describe/optimize that circuit. Interesting? Sure. Does it change the big picture for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or cryptographic signatures? No. The question that matters is not โ€œcan we shave down circuit size again?โ€ Weโ€™ve seen those estimates improve for years. The question that matters is whether anyone can build a machine with 1,000 reliable logical qubits and run it at scale. This is not that news. Not today.

This is the state of homebuilding in America. House has a fire, then asbestos is removed, then some pieces of the house are replaced with new wood, then ZIP system is just nailed on top of the decades-old existing structure. Short term thinking at its finest.
