This is a great piece by @micahflee about the significance of supporting ephemeral usernames in @signalapp and the challenges #Signal faces developing the gold standard of private messaging apps.

Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data

Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

Mozilla, please go back providing a good browser and stop doing all the other shit. I need a browser from you and the developer Network - that’s it. Why do you pivot to AI and advertising? There is no ethical advertising and the moment you provide targeting there is no privacy friendly advertising.

Sincerely, a user

The ShinyHunters hackers who stole Ticketmaster data from Snowflake account appear to have accessed the data through a contractor named EPAM Systems. EPAM has workers in Belarus, Ukraine and, before the war, Russia. Hacker told me they breached an EPAM worker in Ukraine. EPAM says it found no evidence that the hackers used one of their systems, but data leaked online indicates an EPAM worker in Ukraine was infected with an infostealer, which grabbed credentials for the worker's Ticketmaster Snowflake account. EPAM manages Snowflake accounts for customers. My latest story for WIRED:

Debunking the Myth of “Anonymous” Data

Today, almost everything about our lives is digitally recorded and stored somewhere. Each credit card purchase, personal medical diagnosis, and preference about music and books is recorded and then used to predict what we like and dislike, and—ultimately—who we are. This often happens without our...
