A newly disclosed privacy vulnerability in Apple's Hide My Email feature can reportedly allow an attacker to uncover the real email address behind a generated alias. According to the researcher who found the bug, it was responsibly disclosed to Apple more than a year ago but remains unpatched, and independent testing has verified the issue.

 

PSN briefly allowed users to claim single-letter Online IDs like A, B, X, and Z, even though Sony’s public username rules require 3–16 characters. It looks less like a planned feature and more like a validation failure somewhere in PSN’s identity stack, showing why client-side checks are never enough and why all platforms need consistent server-side validation across APIs, account services, and databases.

On the internet every company does User profiling mainly for advert purposes...its impossible to escape these days but what's most concerning about glasses was face data was pretty easily made available by the user...still advert and tracking cookies can be blocked...but meta glass camera? Which is basically one of its most highpoint feature? I doubt anyone will heights to block it physically considering that they cost an arm and a leg

Wait...does this mean every time someone wearing a meta glass looked at me...rather its camera looked at me, meta stored my face for profiling purposes regardless of me being an user of meta Apps or not?? This is so messed up. Initially I thought that only friends of meta users used to get profiled via face recognition....wtf..but again it's meta...violated multiple privacy laws and as such....so not a surprise tbh
