Oh. My. Bob, you can override #AI guardrails with #encryption. Beautiful.

“Rony Utevsky, a researcher at security firm #Adversa, recently discovered a simple way to completely bypass that restriction. Rather than composing the harmful instruction in plaintext, the hacker encrypts it. The website hosting the ciphertext also includes plaintext instructions for decrypting the encrypted content, along with the decryption key. Using this simple sequence, #Grok then follows the command as soon as the user instructs the assistant to summarize the page. There is no warning, and no confirmation is required.”

Signal führt mit »Automatic Key Verification« eine zusätzliche Absicherung für Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselte Chats ein.

Über »Key Transparency« lässt sich erkennen, wenn der öffentliche Schlüssel eines Kontakts unerwartet ausgetauscht wurde. Cloudflare und Trail of Bits fungieren dabei als unabhängige Auditoren.

Ein sinnvoller Schritt, der die bisherige manuelle Prüfung der Sicherheitsnummer ergänzt.

Einordnung: Der neue Anlauf zeigt, dass die Debatte um Hintertüren nie wirklich verschwindet. Diesmal soll der Zugriff auf britische Nutzer begrenzt sein. Kryptografie kennt aber keine Landesgrenzen und keine »guten« Hintertüren. Wird der Schutz absichtlich geschwächt, profitieren am Ende nicht nur Ermittler. Dass Apple dagegen klagt, ist richtig - auch wenn der Konzern in anderen Datenschutzfragen genug Kritik verdient.

Apple klagt erneut gegen eine Anordnung der britischen Regierung. Das Innenministerium verlangt einen Zugang zu Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselten iCloud-Daten britischer Nutzer. Apple wehrt sich vor dem Investigatory Powers Tribunal gegen die sogenannte Technical Capability Notice.

Apple challenges the UK’s second attempt to gain access to iCloud data.

Apple has launched a fresh legal challenge against the UK government’s demand for access to its customers’ encrypted data, months after it withdrew a security feature for UK users rather than build the back door the UK wanted.

My husband and I use tuta (@Tutanota) for sending encrypted email. The account also includes a calendar.

I started with a free account just to test it out and then moved to the paid tier to get some more features.

No affiliation with the company, just a customer.

just wanted to add:

the encryption functionality is neither mandatory nor intrusive in tuta email.
you choose whether you want an email encrypted or not.

I only use it when an email contains details I dont want hoovered up into Google etc's databases and models.

Then the recipient views the email on tuta but the rest of the time it behaves just like a regular email client

Mass data collection is increasingly being used to find & identify individuals 👇

Examples of people being exposed this way:
- US soldiers in war zones
- French spies
- a priest outed via Grindr
- migrants hunted by ICE

These systems that are supposed to be 'de-identified' and 'anonymized' have not been either for a long time.

Currently testing @Tutanota Drive that is in closed beta. I've literally been using it for 30 minutes and already love it. This is going to get me off of Google Drive. Something I have been struggling to accomplish for a long time.

Wenn ich über eine neue Sicherheitslücke in BitLocker lese, denke ich mir jedes Mal: BitLocker ist DIE Sicherheitslücke (by design).

Proprietäre Implementierung, TPM-/Secure-Boot-Vertrauen, Windows-Recovery-Umgebung und Recovery-Keys, die je nach Setup im Microsoft-Ökosystem landen können.

Das ist keine echte Datenhoheit, sondern ein Vertrauensvorschuss an Microsoft. Für mich ist das keine solide Grundlage, sondern ein Designproblem.

I suggest adding"❌ Suppression of Tor users (in my opinion by Tuta)"to the right side.

I tried to create an anonymous Tuta account when I was living in a dictatorship and I remember it didn't work.

I was using Tor because I didn't want to be abducted into a concentration camp (euphemistically called "jail") by the dictatorial regime in retaliation for legitimate and legal exercising of my human and constitutional right to free speech I was planning using that account.

I strongly suspect the reason it didn't work was because IMO Tuta was suppressing Tor users.

Due to this,my work in publishing public domain legal norms the regime was trying to hide,was greatly slowed down and made difficult.

When Tuta is writing like this,in my opinion it is hypocrisy.

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.

Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.

Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.

For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

The #Swisscows CEO confirmed a “technically possible but artificially constructed scenario.” Trail of Bits, for its part, refers to a “misrepresentation” of the #exploit by Swisscows: “The core problem is that Teleguard’s server has all the information needed to decrypt every user’s private key and read every message,” said #DanGuido, co-founder and CEO of #TrailOfBits .

Vier-Augen-Prinzip bei Verschlüsselungen mit Picocrypt NG umsetzen

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

Instagram will remove end‑to‑end encrypted chats on May 8, 2026 🔓.

Without E2EE, private messages could become accessible for data analysis or AI training, raising serious privacy and user‑trust concerns 🤔.

I built pagevault, a tool that turns any file into a self-contained encrypted HTML page. PDFs, images, whole websites, encrypted into a single .html you can email or host anywhere. Decrypts in the browser via Web Crypto API, no backend needed.

Chunked encryption handles 100+ MB files without choking the browser. Each chunk gets its own script tag, decrypted sequentially, then removed from the DOM for GC.

FBI agents reportedly failed to access a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone after a raid — the device was in Apple’s Lockdown Mode. 🔒
Court records suggest the feature effectively blocked access, highlighting limits of digital forensics vs. user privacy. ⚖️

🔐 Data Privacy Day reminder:

The #Microsoft and #BitLocker case showed that encrypted data can still be accessed — not because encryption failed, but because keys were stored with the provider.

Encryption only works if you control the key. Otherwise your data is accessible.

Privacy is a choice.

UK Proposes 24/7 Phone Surveillance & VPN Age Verification

> The UK just proposed three extreme surveillance measures: mandatory 24/7 scanning software on every phone and tablet, age verification for all VPN users with website tracking, and labeling encryption developers as "hostile actors." This comes after 500,000 people petitioned against age verification, and lawmakers responded by making things
