Just found out that my car's #NextBase dashcam stores the wifi password in a plain text file with other info with no obfuscation.

🚨 Breaking News, folks: Mullvad, the revolutionary VPN that's only 20,000 servers short of being average, has discovered that using the same IP over and over might actually identify you. 🔎 Because nothing screams privacy like a "deterministically picked" IP. 😂 #PrivacyOops

Mullvad exit IPs as a fingerprinting vector

Mullvad is one of the few VPN providers that offers multiple exit IPs for its servers. If two people connect to the same server, they will usually end up with different public IPs. With only 578 servers (compared to Proton VPN’s 20,000), this kind of vertical scaling makes sense to avoid cramming too many users onto one IP, which would be a problem on sites with overzealous IP blocks and ratelimits.

Oh, bravo Microsoft! 🤦‍♂️ Who needs #cybersecurity when you can just store all your #passwords in plain sight? 😂 Clearly, #Edge is redefining "security" as a feature for the past, while the rest of us are just living in 2023. 🔍🔓

Microsoft Edge loads all your saved passwords into memory in cleartext — even when you’re not using them.

Oops! Can you say "username enumeration"?

This is at bloomsbury.com, who, in an unrelated matter, seem to also have removed my country from their selection widget when making an order, even though I successfully ordered some books from them last year. 🤷
