See the Thousands of Apps Hijacked to Spy on Your Location

quote [ The spy-run location data company doesn?t need to successfully place an ad; instead, it is able to gather data on devices by simply being plugged into that industry. Location data in this case can also include a users? IP address, which is then geolocated to give their coarse location. ]

Ah look, they submarined surveillance code in ad networks and aggregated the data to interested parties .. well wouldn't you know. Includes a handy Google sheet overview link.

See your identity pieced together from stolen data

quote [ "Companies are trying to use the sheer scale and profitability of their shady data practices to shield them from the law."

And with Experian disclosing a breach in 2015 and then another in 2020, it's clear these firms are attractive targets for cybercrime.

In fact, one of the largest breaches collated by Have I Been Pwned has also been traced back to a "likely" customer of data-enrichment company People Data Labs. ]

HaveIBeenPwned.com is around for a while now. I didn't know that most of the breaches orginated at data vendors, though.

Tesla Employees Have Been Meme-ing Your Private Car Videos

quote [ What kind of videos would employees share? Former staffers remember stuff like â??dogs, interesting cars, and clips of people recorded by Tesla cameras tripping and fallingâ? all being big hits. In one popular video, the carâ??s ownerâ??a manâ??approached the vehicle totally naked. In another instance, employees enthusiastically shared a video of a child on a bike getting hit by a car (the child and the bike â??flewâ? in opposite directions, former employees said). ]

It's probably been almost a decade, but I'd just like apologize for ever suggesting the existence of this company might be a positive thing.
