How Push Notifications Can Betray Your Privacy (and What to Do About It)
#End-to-EndEncryption #SecurityEducation #Mobiledevices
A phoneβs push notifications can contain a significant amount of information about you, your communications, and what you do throughout the day. And there are myriad ways that law enforcement can access the content or metadata of push notifications. Letβs fix that.
π‘ Security isnβt a collective fear - itβs a shared competence β

Digital and cyber risks donβt always fit into standard risk assessment models. They use different language, involve complex causes, and depend on interlinked systems.
In this talk, Εukasz KrΓ³l shares how to make digital security feel real, relatable and doable, even for non-technical audiences. Heβll show how to compare digital risks to physical, financial, and legal threats using simple analogies, how to break down the myth of omnipresent surveillance, and how to use storytelling to make threat modelling feel less abstract.
With real examples heβll prove that empathy, clarity, and simple frameworks can turn fear into action.
Εukasz KrΓ³l https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/speaker/NLVVCF/ is a digital security trainer at the ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg. He has a background in politics, technology, and international relations. He is particularly interested in digital security pedagogies, selecting secure and sustainable digital tools, and effectively supporting at-risk groups and individuals.

Real vulnerabilities donβt appear in isolation, theyβre rooted in code, context, and human error. This session walks through actual CVEs, analyzing the code where they were introduced. You will see the patterns, assumptions, and language quirks that led to the flaw - not just the exploit, but the moment it couldβve been caught.

#AgeVerificationandAgeGating:ResourceHub #SecurityEducation
EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope weβll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many people are asked to verify their age across the web, despite prominent cases of sensitive data getting leaked in the process.
Surveillance Self-Defense: 2025 Year in Review
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/surveillance-self-defense-2025-year-review
Our Surveillance Self-Defense (SSD) guides, which provide practical advice and explainers for how to deal with government and corporate surveillance, had a big year. We published several large updates to existing guides and released three all new guides. And with frequent massive protests across the U.S., our guide to attending a protest remained one of the most popular guides of the year, so we made sure our translations were up to date.
