Every time you print from a color printer, hundreds of yellow dots are embedded into the page.

Everything you’ve ever printed can be traced right back to the printer with metadata. Is this surveillance or a useful tool for law enforcement?

Introducing @Rekt_Academy

We're building the most comprehensive cyber security ecosystem on the internet — covering both Web2 and Web3.

Here's what we're doing and why you should be paying attention.

A small handful of senators get briefed on classified surveillance programs the rest of us never hear about.
One of them is quietly sounding the alarm about VPNs.
Is the US government running a dragnet on VPN users?

AnChat Lite v5 is almost here and privacy just leveled up!

Your chats are now glance-proof by default. The entire conversation stays blurred until you touch it which is perfect for public spaces, planes, or anyone looking over your shoulder.

New privacy power-ups in v5:

🥷Screenshot Block — block screenshots completely
🥷Voice Mask — disguise your voice on memos with un-reversible effects
🥷Touch Reveal — your chat is brlured only the part you touch is revealed
🥷Ghost Trail — hide online status, read receipts & last seen
🥷Invite Only - disappear from search

📴True privacy, no compromises. Built on Orama Network .

👉More features will be revealed very soon as we get closer to the release of the version 5 of AnChat Lite. Stay tuned‼️🚨

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation for the strong integrity level and is gradually phasing in requiring it for the more commonly used device integrity level. Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition.

The purpose of these systems is disallowing people from using hardware and software not approved by Apple or Google. This is wrongly presented as being a security feature. Banks and government services are the main ones adopting it but Apple and Google are encouraging every service to use it.

Apple's Privacy Pass brought hardware attestation to the web to help with passing captchas on their own hardware. Many people saw that as harmless since few sites would be willing to lock out non-Apple-hardware users. Apple and Google are both likely to bring broader hardware attestation to the web.

Google's reCAPTCHA is planning an approach where they use Privacy Pass on Apple hardware, their own approach on Google Mobile Services Android devices and a QR code scanning system to require an iOS or Google certified Android device for Windows and other systems:

https://t.co/7rQnioRa8A

Banking and government services increasingly require using a mobile app where they can use attestation to force using an Apple or Google approved device and OS. Apple's privacy pass, Google's 'cancelled' Web Environment Integrity and now reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification are bringing this to the web.

Current media coverage for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification misunderstands it and the impact of it. They're bringing a hardware attestation requirement to Windows, desktop Linux, OpenBSD, etc. by requiring a QR scan from a certified smartphone to pass reCAPTCHA in some cases. They could expand it more.

Control over reCAPTCHA puts Google in a position where they can require having either iOS or a certified Android device to use an enormous amount of the web. Google defines certification requirements for Android which includes forcing bundling Google Chrome, etc. It's enormously anti-competitive.

Google's Play Integrity API bans using GrapheneOS despite it being far more secure than anything they permit. It also bans using any other alternative. This isn't somehow specific to an AOSP-based OS. You can't avoid this by using a mobile OS based on FreeBSD instead. You'll just be more locked out.

Google's Play Integrity API permits devices with no security patches for 10 years. The device integrity level can be bypassed via spoofing but they can detect it quite well and block it once it starts being done at scale. The strong integrity level requires leaked keys from TEEs/SEs to bypass it.

It doesn't provide a useful security feature, but it does lock out competition very well. Services requiring Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity are primarily helping to lock in Apple and Google having a duopoly for mobile devices. Play Integrity is more relevant due to AOSP being open source.

Governments are increasingly mandating using Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity for not only their own services but also commercial services. The EU is leading the charge of making these requirements for digital payments, ID, age verification, etc. Many EU government apps require them.

Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security.

reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification will currently work with sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS but it clearly exists to provide a way for them to start using hardware attestation on systems without it. People without an iOS or Android device will be locked out when this is required even without that.

This isn't about security or any missing functionality. GrapheneOS can be verified via hardware attestation. Google bans using GrapheneOS for Play Integrity because we don't license Google Mobile Services and conform to anti-competitive rules already found to be illegal in South Korea and elsewhere.

Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years but not a much more secure OS. It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.

📱 Chat Control 2.0 wrócił. Tym razem chcą skanować twój telefon, zanim wyślesz wiadomość❗

Na początku kwietnia wygasł w UE tymczasowy wyjątek pozwalający firmom technologicznym masowo skanować prywatne wiadomości użytkowników. Wielu odetchnęło z ulgą. Za wcześnie.

▪️ Chat Control 2.0 zakłada obowiązkowe skanowanie treści WSZYSTKICH użytkowników - nie tylko podejrzanych
▪️ Aby objąć kontrolą zaszyfrowane komunikatory jak WhatsApp czy Signal, projekt przewiduje tzw. client-side scanning - aplikacja skanuje zdjęcia i wiadomości bezpośrednio na twoim telefonie, zanim zostaną zaszyfrowane
▪️ Komisja Europejska i Rada UE popierają masowe monitorowanie - Parlament Europejski się sprzeciwia, ale może ustąpić pod presją argumentu "ochrony dzieci"
▪️ Prezydencja Cypru chce porozumienia przed końcem lata

System ma chronić dzieci, ale dane z działania Chat Control 1.0 są druzgocące. Microsoft przeanalizował 11,7 miliarda obrazów i wiadomości - zgłosił policji zaledwie 32 tysiące przypadków. Według niemieckiej policji 48 procent zgłoszeń było nieistotnych. 40 procent ściganych nie stanowiło przestępstwa. 99 procent materiałów zgłaszanych przez Metę było już wcześniej znanych organom ścigania.

Zamiast ścigać przestępców, policja tonęła w setkach tysięcy bezwartościowych sygnałów.

Europol w operacji "Alice" zlikwidował ponad 373 tysiące stron pedofilskich i zidentyfikował setki sprawców - bez żadnego masowego skanowania. Dobrze ukierunkowana praca śledcza działa. Masowa inwigilacja wszystkich - nie.

Bo może tu nigdy nie chodziło o ochronę dzieci?

Skanowanie wiadomości, zakaz VPN, weryfikacja tożsamości – wszystko co teraz dzieje się na szczeblu UE to pełzający totalitaryzm. Celem jest zdobycie informacji o nas samych.⁩

✨The missing piece of the DeBros ecosystem is almost here.

RootWallet = Not just another wallet.

One seed phrase.

One source of truth.

✅Multi-chain self-custody (BTC, ETH, SOL, ORAMA)
✅Built-in decentralised password manager
✅SSH key vault
✅Optional Cross-device sync via Orama Vault (Shamir’s Secret Sharing)
✅Native desktop, mobile & CLI

👉NO browser extension (by design)

It’s the glue that connects everything:

AnChat, AnBuddy, and the entire privacy-first Web3 stack we’re building.

True self-custody. Zero compromises.

🔥Coming very soon. 🔥

Who’s ready to own their entire digital life in one secure root?
