The Privacy Labels for the new apps in the Creator Studio bundle indicate they collect significantly more data than their one-time purchase versions. For instance, look at Final Cut Pro:

This is a test account we created to test the new feature that 1Password just announced about unlocking the app with the Mac password, as it relates to our recent work. Here's the link that was shown in the screenshot:

Oh, 1Password stores user profile pictures on their servers without authentication. Anyone who has the long URL, which also contains the account identifier, can access the picture. It's not a big deal, but a password manager should definitely be more careful.

Here is Psylo viewed in Safari on iOS. Surprisingly, copying the same link viewed and pasting it in a new tab won't open in the web. Safari prompts for opening the link in the App Store app πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Great news. Apple collects exhaustive analytics when you view apps in the App Store app. The detailed analytics is linked to your identity and there is no way to turn the massive data collection off. Now iPhone users can view apps anonymously in a browser

Of course, we’re still investigating and won’t reveal the details until we report it to Apple. Though it shocked us that such a simple action can have such an effect on the sandbox.

An attacker can trick a user into performing a simple yet common action that breaks the sandbox protection of any file (e.g iMessage database and Safari browsing data) giving any application permanent access to the target file

The first hit from Wikipedia has the correct answer, but Gemini's wrong answer has to be shown first and occupy most of the screen because AI is cool

Apple will proxy Safe Browsing requests to hide iOS users' IP from Google Apple to make fraudulent website warning more private by proxying iOS 14.5 users IP address.

Apple started to proxy requests to Google's safe browsing service in iOS 14.5. This was done to prevent leaking IP addresses to Google. Is it a bug? Or Apple stopped hiding our IPs from Google in iOS 26?

Why do all browsers in iOS 26 communicate with this Google service? Has Apple changed how safe websites are downloaded?
Psylo tunnels all connections via our proxy servers to prevent IP leaks. How are these calls made? Does Google see the real IP?

Plex urges users to change passwords after data breach | TechCrunch Plex said that it was aware of a security incident involving the theft of Plex customer account information, including user names, email addresses, scrambled passwords, and unspecified authentication ...

I asked Plex a bunch of questions about its data breach of user account information, but the company wouldn't say why it hasn't force-reset its users' passwords and is instead asking users to do it. The company also hasn't explained how (and to what extent) it scrambled those passwords.

No thanks, I won’t get the app.

Native apps can track and fingerprint you more easily. Use the web version in a privacy-protecting browser that obfuscates common fingerprinting markers, and completely isolates it from other websites.

If only there was such a browser… πŸ€”

What a productive day! I accidentally time-traveled to the year 2076, created an Excel sheet, and returned. But that's not the puzzling part. I still can't believe that an Excel file can be so backward compatible.
