Nekogram APKs Accused of Hidden Spying Code | One Jail Break A new investigation by security researcher Repinek is raising alarm over Nekogram, a widely used third-party Telegram client, with claims the app’s Android builds may include covert spying functionality. The report alleges that released APKs contain hidden code capable of collecting and silently transmitting sensitive user data. The core concern isn’t just privacy, it’s trust. According to the findings, the behavior identified in compiled APKs does not exist in the project’s public source code, suggesting users may be installing something materially different from what developers publish on the Nekogram GitHub.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State! During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access. He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AJtRDjoXN4 #why

6 Best Secure Messaging Alternatives to WhatsApp | Avoid the Hack – https://avoidthehack.com/best-secure-messengers The content of your messages and the metadata associated with them should be secure and private. Unfortunately many messengers out there fail to do this. Telegram operates in the cloud, and while this does have good portability across multiple devices and device types, the service provider (or anyone with access to the cloud server) could theoretically read them at any time with relative ease; Telegram stores messages on the third-party cloud provider's server. According to Telegram’s privacy policy, the service itself logs IP addresses and phone numbers. #Infosec#Session#SimpleXchat#Briar#Threema #Element#Telegram#privacy

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity 💡 TLDR: This is an open-source non-profit detailed and maintained guide on online anonymity (in addition to Privacy/Security). I've been writing/updating it for the past months. It covers Windows/Linux/MacOS/Whonix/TAILS/Qubes OS and more. It's written with hope for activists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, whistle-blowers, and good people being oppressed/censored anywhere! The whole guide is backed up by many external references (over 500 external references, many of them academic) and is not sponsored by any commercial entity. The guide is presented in a "book format" (Online ,or PDF with Light and Dark themes) and is quite a long read with over 180 pages of information (not counting the many 500+ external references). But there are ways you can read some parts and not others depending on your interest (and this is also explained in the introduction). * Project Website: https://anonymousplanet.org * Mirror: https://mirror.anonymousplanet.org * Mirror: https://anonymousplanet.github.io/thgtoa/guide.html * Tor Mirror: http://thgtoa7imksbg7rit4grgijl2ef6kc7b56bp56pmtta4g354lydlzkqd.onion 💡 Online Guide: * Online Version (Dark Theme): https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html * Online Version Mirror (Dark Theme): https://mirror.anonymousplanet.org/guide.html * Online Version Tor Mirror (Dark Theme): http://thgtoa7imksbg7rit4grgijl2ef6kc7b56bp56pmtta4g354lydlzkqd.onion/guide.html 💡 PDFs: * PDF (Light Theme): https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.pdf * PDF (Light Theme Mirror): https://mirror.anonymousplanet.org/guide.pdf * PDF (Light Theme Tor Mirror): http://thgtoa7imksbg7rit4grgijl2ef6kc7b56bp56pmtta4g354lydlzkqd.onion/guide.pdf * PDF (Dark Theme): https://anonymousplanet.org/guide-dark.pdf * PDF (Dark Theme Mirror): https://mirror.anonymousplanet.org/guide-dark.pdf * PDF (Dark Theme Tor Mirror): http://thgtoa7imksbg7rit4grgijl2ef6kc7b56bp56pmtta4g354lydlzkqd.onion/guide-dark.pdf 💡 Changelog: * https://anonymousplanet.org/CHANGELOG.html * https://mirror.anonymousplanet.org/CHANGELOG.html * http://thgtoa7imksbg7rit4grgijl2ef6kc7b56bp56pmtta4g354lydlzkqd.onion/CHANGELOG.html 💡 Archives: * Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html * Archive.today: https://archive.fo/anonymousplanet.org/guide.html * Archive.today over Tor: http://archivecaslytosk.onion/anonymousplanet.org/guide.html * Cryptpad.fr: https://cryptpad.fr/drive/#/2/drive/view/Ughm9CjQJCwB8BIppdtvj5zy4PyE-8Gxn11x9zaqJLI/ Feel free to share and contribute through the repository at https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa 👉🏼 Follow me on: * Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@anonypla Any constructive opinion/idea/criticism is welcome if you spot any issue.
