A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account

A cybersecurity researcher known as Brutecat uncovered a flaw that exposed phone numbers linked to any Google account, data that’s normally private and highly sensitive. Verified by Google and 404 Media, the issue allowed low-resourced attackers to brute-force access to this personal information. Though since fixed, the vulnerability raised serious concerns about how easily confidential user data can be compromised, even on platforms as large and trusted as Google.

OpenAI Slams Court Order to Save All ChatGPT Logs, Including Deleted Chats

A court ordered OpenAI to preserve all ChatGPT logs—including deleted and sensitive ones—after news outlets alleged it destroyed evidence in a copyright suit. OpenAI is fighting the order, calling it speculative and harmful to user privacy. The company argues it violates user agreements, burdens operations, and risks exposure of personal and business data. Millions use ChatGPT for sensitive tasks, and the order sparked panic among users and privacy advocates alike.

Apple Gave Governments Data on Thousands of Push Notifications

Apple published data showing it provided push notification information to governments worldwide, including metadata and in some cases unencrypted content like notification text. The records, covering July 2022 to June 2024, reveal that the U.S., U.K., and Germany received data, while others like France, Singapore, and the Netherlands were denied. The practice first came to light in 2023 via Senator Ron Wyden. Since December 2023, Apple requires a judge’s order to release this data, rather than just a subpoena. Push tokens can reveal names, email addresses, and other Apple account details.

Ghostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues.
