Welcome to Data Breach Galore! - Surveillance Report 38 - Techlore
video description
This ongoing attack on the US and its allies (this is affecting most Western governments, with Australia, the US, and UK currently under the brunt of it) has already, in my view, crossed the line into an act of war. They've gone after everything: militaries; healthcare; federal, state/provincial, and municipal governments; private sector; education. It's been a scattershot approach compromising as much as they can, as fast as they can, and taking as much data as they can.
I get why the FBI did this. _Something_ had to be done, and the US decided to be much less of the kind-and-gentle-and-understanding type compared to the UK, for example. It's a very -get your damn shit together or we will do it for you- attitude; though in fairness reality is that a lot of those private sector companies are going to be glad of the help, since there aren't nearly enough cybersec people to go-around.
tl; dr: The FBI did the right thing and probably should've done it sooner. We're _still_ under a massive, ongoing attack from China. In that context I for one don't care if a few toes got stepped-on.

Regarding the janitor story, I do agree with Nathan that it's one thing to be given a work device that tracks you on the job, but to force it on someone's personal device is out of line. Also these -employee apps- are getting way out of hand. At my last job we had 3 redundant training apps that employees were required to do daily, even if you're busy ACTUALLY doing your job. The problem was nearly all of the training topics had nothing to do with my department and I had no plans on transferring to those departments, so it was basically a waste of my time. It was one of the main reasons why I quit.

25: 25 - If it was a work phone, then it should already have the monitor app installed, so obviously it wasn't a work phone, in which case, they have no right to force her to install it. What if she has no room for the app? Are they going to force her to delete her kids' photos to make room to install it? I already think it's garbage that work and schools make people install stuff on your home computers, which might not even be possible. I assume the app wasn't listed as a requirement in the job post. -

You guys touched on ProtonMail Calendar which reminds me of a story from I while back.
Have you looked into the reports of the lack of security/privacy on ProtonMail?
If you haven't heard anything about it reply and I will go look for the a link.
If you have heard about it and looked into it, what is your take?
To me, someone not very knowledgeable on the subject, it seems pretty straight forward and concerning.

I am a truck driver. Inside my truck, on the windshield, there is a camera recording inside and out 24/7. Audio too. I'm permitted to cover the inside camera when off duty, but the audio is always recording. It's all sent back into the cloud and of course I have no control over any of it operationally-wise. It uses AI to determine if I am engaging in unsafe driving habits, and flags videos for review by my carrier.

-Contact tracing- is a trojan horse in the first place.
The fact that it exists at all is purely because they are pushing their track trace database agenda to the next level.

As a developer, I now have a newfound love for these big tech companies. My data is worth the price I pay for all the free tools they provide for developers.

How do you get a burner phone in the US?
In order to activate a phone plan you need to link your social security number.
