This week’s Techlore Surveillance Report is a reminder that privacy is never just one app, one setting, or one update.
CopyFail shows why Linux users need to check their own distro’s security status, not just assume the kernel patch has landed everywhere. Apple’s iOS fix shows how deleted Signal messages could still leave traces through cached notifications. Utah’s VPN law shows how age verification keeps spilling into wider surveillance pressure.
Then there’s Microsoft Edge storing passwords in plaintext in device memory, compromised WordPress plugins, cPanel flaws, breaches at ADT and Vimeo, and supply chain risk around Bitwarden’s CLI.
The positive side? Proton is moving towards post quantum encryption, Mullvad is working around iOS networking limits, and Maryland is pushing back against surveillance pricing.
Digital safety is a stack. Your OS, browser, password manager, phone, VPN, and updates all matter.
What part of your setup would you check first?
