Some apps read your clipboard when they come to the foreground — not only when you tap Paste. That can include one-time codes, addresses, or a password you just copied. On iPhone, recent iOS versions show a banner when an app reads the clipboard; treat that as a signal, not noise. Prefer Share sheets over copy-paste for sensitive text, and clear the clipboard after OTPs. On Android, check which apps have notification access and “draw over other apps” — listeners can read OTPs that appear in notifications, and overlays are a known path for stealing passwords and taps.
At Prynoid we test claims against behaviour, including what an app touches when you are not looking.

this security researcher just dropped two unpatched critical vulnerabilities on twitter for everyone to see. before a fix even existed
CVEs that let attackers take over servers through PHP’s session handler. fully weaponizable. lab tested. working exploit
and they posted it publicly. on twitter. while millions of servers are still vulnerable
other researcher is furious saying he should be blacklisted from the industry for life
this is the debate nobody outside of security understands
responsible disclosure means you report the bug privately, give the team time to fix it, THEN go public
this person skipped all of that and dropped a loaded gun on the timeline for anyone to pick up
every script kiddie on earth now has a working exploit for a bug that hasn’t been patched yet
“but the public deserves to know” sure. and now every attacker knows too. before the fix is ready
there’s a difference between transparency and recklessness. this was recklessness
