Have I been pawned is really nice, but only includes confirmed data leaks. If you use other services like Google or Malwarebyte, they will tell you more leaks. I was involved with the MoveIt data leak from a financial institution recently, which basically leaked all the information that possibly can be partly/wholely used for identity theft. This didn’t show up in HIBP. Fidelity Financial Life Insurance just leaked enough info via Infosys for another 30,000 customers with enough data for identity thefts recently.
In the US, it seems if somebody is able financially to aggregate all these sensitive data leaks, they probably can cause havocs to many people. These info often come from financial institutions, which you can’t totally withhold or lie about your personal information.
Spoofing a number means they can call somebody and appears as calling from your number. In order to receive SMS or call made to your number, they would have to hijack your SIM, typically convincing your telecom provider to transfer your phone info over to theirs.
In the US, someone knowing your full name and phone number is commonplace. There is no wide-spead havoc because of this. Someone who wants to harm you would really have to be motivated to get more information from the info you gave them. This is obviously possible because of wide-spread data leaks, but does your emissary have the perseverance and the knowledge to do this?
I can’t wait until they start delivering packages with humanoid robots… They could spike up Halloween.
The MLs have been shown to be extraordinarily good at statistically guessing your words. The words covered are probably comprehensive.
A speculation, https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected, about HDCP, i.e. not exposing technical details as to prevent video copying, was offered.

Town-square when they lure you in, they own everything when they sell you ass off.
Yeah, the app data are separated and inaccessible, unless specified by the developer. Accessibility service is a separate permission, and should almost never be asked or granted, where as file/photo accesses are more common.
I agree with you. The article give a good warning about downloading applications in general, but hand-wave how they escalated from “file/photo” access to capturing your data. The recent Anatsa malware’s details seem to imply accessibility service. This is a Thread Fabric article about Anatsa malware: https://www.threatfabric.com/blogs/anatsa-trojan-returns-targeting-europe-and-expanding-its-reach
From the project’s page:
The wearable system captures peripheral neural signals when internal speech articulators are volitionally and neurologically activated, during a user’s internal articulation of words.
It doesn’t capture the central signal, but peripheral, most likely from the nerves running around your face and your neck used to produce speech.
No dirty thoughts! No dirty thoughts!
Lovely, that’s a trick I haven’t tried on Andorid.
Google assistant “app”: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googleassistant&hl=en&gl=US
I think once it’s rolled out in your region, the assistant will pester you to switch to Gemini.
There is no Gemini app of any kind for me either.
Considered it done. ;-)
The CVE-2023-52160, which applies to Android/linux/ChromeOS devices connecting to WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise, allows an attacker to fool the user to connect to a malicious SSID and intercept the traffic. So unencrypted traffic can be compromised. So, their listing of sensitive data, BEC, and password theft sound scary but probably affects very few services that don’t encrypt the data.
AI is most likely here to stay, so if you have it do “good” things effectively, then’s it’s a good boi. If it is ineffective or you have it do “bad” things, then it’s a bad boy.
Tools, yes, instances, no, but there are Lemmy explorer (https://lemmyverse.net/) which you can search for both instances and communities.
That’s the coolest bear!
Love it! 😍 Hope somebody makes a cartoon out of it.
It’s like saying, if you can’t figure this out, you aren’t worth the one extra dog you have, please give it away.
