 | | | Proton, the Swiss-based encrypted services provider behind email, VPN and a new AI assistant called Lumo, is moving much of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. The move comes amid proposed changes to the Swiss surveillance law Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic that would require services with 5,000+ users to identify customers, retain metadata and assist with decryption. Proton says Lumo’s servers will head to Germany and Norway first. The company insists it’s not fully abandoning Switzerland, but the relocation underscores unease over legal uncertainty and its impact on user privacy. | | | #Proton #State Surveillance #Email Privacy #VPN #Privacy #Customer Data | | | | | | | | Firefox 145 introduces major upgrades to stop fingerprinting, a tracking method that identifies users through device details like fonts, hardware specs and GPU behavior. These new protections dramatically shrink how many people can be uniquely identified. Previously, more than 60 percent of Firefox users could be fingerprinted. With the update, that number drops to about 20 percent, which represents roughly a 70 percent reduction in trackable users. The protections are available in Private Browsing and Enhanced Tracking Protection Strict mode, with plans to roll them out to regular browsing soon. | | | #Fingerprinting #Tracking Methods #Firefox #Mozilla | | | | | | | | Treat your data like your GPA and don’t let anyone else mess with it. | | | #Privacy Settings #Ghostery #Adblocking #Private Browser #VPN #Phishing #Scams | | | | | | | | In a major global crackdown, Operation Endgame 3.0 dismantled three key cyber-crime infrastructures: the infostealer Rhadamanthys, the remote-access trojan VenomRAT and the botnet Elysium. Authorities took down more than 1000 servers and seized 20 domains between 10 and 13 November 2025. The infrastructure had infected hundreds of thousands of computers across more than 200 countries and collected several million stolen credentials. In Greece, a 38-year-old suspect was arrested on 3 November in connection with VenomRAT, which had been active since 2020. The suspect allegedly controlled access to over 100,000 cryptocurrency wallets worth millions of euros. The operation was led by Europol and Eurojust in cooperation with international partners from Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, and the US. Investigators say the action delivers a direct blow to the “malware-as-a-service” ecosystem that fuels ransomware and other cyber-threats, though they caution that rebuilding efforts remain possible. | infosecurity-magazine.com | #Cybercrime #Elysium #Rhadamanthys #VenomRAT | | | | | | | | Even with a strong password, most home networks leak more information than people realize.
