This phishing attack is ongoing and widely spread on Facebook through friend’s hacked accounts, as the threat actors build a massive army of stolen accounts for use in further scams on the social media platform.
As the posts come from your friends’ hacked accounts, they look more convincing and trustworthy, leading many to fall for the scam.
Sensitive information from several sites including Twitter, Dropbox, and Linkedin was discovered on an unsecured page.
Worryingly, the researchers who found it claim this breach is extremely dangerous and could prompt a tsunami of cybercrime.
Here’s how to check if you have been affected.

Funny how the US restrict Huawei but they don’t restrict Honor or Xiaomi.

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.
This is not an improvement.

I confess: about half a year ago I switched to Brave on my work machine, since I couldn’t get Teams to work properly with FireDragon. I already happened to love the iOS version, which runs circles around Safari, and well… at least it wasn’t the official Chrome browser from Evil Corp. But since I’m running a standalone Teams application nowadays and it keeps raining Brave complaints, I guess I’ll switch back to FireDragon. Never a dull moment 
.
Brave runs circles around Safari? In what way?
I have to admit, my wording was perhaps a bit much. What I love about mobile Brave:
- A sense of control: Every tweak I looked for, turned out to be available.
- A sense of security: It’s not the default browser, so it isn’t targeted as much.
- A sense of privacy: Ad blocking, cookie banner blocking, etc.
One website actually complained about me using a browser that was “too secure”.

Fair enough. Point 3 can be achieved with extensions like Hush for example. But yeah the other points for sure.

I quit using all Chromium based browsers after watching this video. I really liked Vivaldi, but when I found out about site-engagement I got it off my laptop and I no longer trust any Chromium based browser.

Not really “news”, but in my opinion still interesting.

From your above link ^^^
“We’ve seen info stealers come out with modules that will steal the configuration files for remote desktop appliances. For example, if you install Anydesk and get hit with an info stealer like Lumma, that configuration file can be stolen.”
That would allow attackers to gain remote control of the device.
Call me paranoid, but I always disable remote access and Bluetooth on all my devices. These are both total nightmares just waiting to happen IMO. No facebook or any other social media accounts either. I even have a land line telephone at home, but at least it’s not a rotary dialer.
