For years, Apple has implemented strong encryption in the iPhone and most of its other products, resisting requests from Western governments to build backdoors into its encrypted software. Because, for years, we saw politicians in the US, UK, and other regions demand iPhone backdoors that law enforcement agencies can use when dealing with criminals hiding behind encrypted products and services. Apple has always refused these requests, advocating for strong security and privacy in its products. The backdoor that some politicians may want is something of a unicorn. They want strong security in software products like iOS but also a way to access the contents of an encrypted iPhone for suspects that law enforcement is investigating. I've always sided with Apple here. Placing a backdoor in any product would invite even more scrutiny from the hacking community. First, you wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. Second, if there's a locked door to something, someone can always find the keys. Fast-forward to early October, and a stunning The Wall Street Journal report shows exactly what happens with backdoors in secure systems. A team of hackers associated with the Chinese government reportedly obtained access to critical infrastructure belonging to AT&T, Lumen, and Verizon that US law enforcement uses for wiretapping purposes. In other words, China found law enforcement's backdoor in these systems and used it for months to spy on internet traffic and even extract data. Continue reading...

Earlier this month, all of 23andMe's independent directors resigned from the company's board. Their resignations came about a month after the well-known DNA testing company shuttered its internal drug discovery group. In light of all the chaos, some security experts have begun urging users to consider closing their 23andMe accounts. Citing an NPR article about 23andMe's DNA data, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) director of cybersecurity Eva Galperin told her followers that now would be a good time to log in to their 23andMe accounts and request the deletion of their data. Meredith Whittaker, president of encrypted messaging service Signal, said the same: https://twitter.com/mer__edith/status/1842133914585817536 Unfortunately, as the company explains on its customer care site, deleting a 23andMe account and all of your DNA data isn't as simple as clicking a single button. If you want to close your account, the first step is to log in and visit your Account Settings. Scroll down to the 23andMe Data section near the bottom of the page, then click View. After you enter your birthday, you'll be sent to a new page where you should see a massive red button that says Permanently Delete Data. Click that to officially submit your request. You're not done yet, as 23andMe will send an email to the email address linked to your account asking you to confirm the request. Once you confirm your request, 23andMe claims it will delete your data but that "it may take up to 30 days to fulfill your request."

Oklahoma has amended its request for 55,000 Bibles to be placed in public schools that initially matched a version of the holy book endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

The campaign for former President Donald Trump responded to the new book by journalist Bob Woodward on Tuesday, calling it "the work of a truly demented and deranged man."
