🧯Security Medium Preview 1 \u2014 VPNs Not All Hacked<\/h3>\n

We’ll dig into the details in the second part of this two-parter, but for now, I just want to set everyone’s mind at ease \u2014 there’s very little there<\/em> there in the recent high-profile reports that a security flaw has been found in all VPNs on all OSes.<\/p>\n

Security researchers did find something interesting, but there is basically nothing for regular users to worry about.

🧯Security Medium Preview 2 \u2014 Suspected Data Location Leaking Bug in iOS 13 on iPhones 11 not Real<\/h3>\n

Again, we’ll dig into the details in the second part, but for now, I just want to reassure people that the speculation that there was a privacy-leaking bug in how iOS 13 running on iPhones 11 handled location data has proven to be incorrect.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that there is no bug, nothing nefarious afoot, and no danger to user privacy.<\/p>\n
