Fuite massive et grave en Alberta (Canada), les données de plus de 3 millions d’électeurs (apparemment la liste électorale complète) auraient été confiées par le Parti Républicain à une organisation séparatiste (indépendance de l’Alberta), qui les a mis en ligne. Cela aura des impacts pour des décennies, par exemple pour l’influence politique ou de l’ingérence étrangère
Alberta voter list leak is a potential public safety disaster: Enforcement experts
▻https://globalnews.ca/news/11828244/alberta-voter-list-leak-public-safety-disaster
Security experts say a leak of Alberta’s provincial list of voters – nearly three million names, addresses and phone numbers – has created a potential public safety and political interference crisis that could have ramifications for decades.
Personal information could be used by criminals for everything from fraud and extortion to kidnapping and witness tampering. Authoritarian regimes, like Russia or China, could use the information to interfere in Alberta’s politics by directly contacting voters.
Both Elections Alberta and the RCMP have launched separate investigations to determine how the private information of millions of citizens from Alberta’s official List of Electors ended up posted online by a separatist group called the Centurion Project. It allegedly accessed the database provided to the Republican Party of Alberta.
Extension Developers Sell The Data of At Least 6.5 Million Users - And It’s All Completely Legal
▻https://layerxsecurity.com/blog/your-extensions-sell-your-data-and-its-perfectly-legal
New research by LayerX Security uncovers multiple networks of #browser #extensions that collect user data and resell it for profit – and it’s all completely legal. For, unlike malicious extensions that disguise themselves as legitimate extensions and do their bidding in the dark, these extensions explicitly tell users that they’re going to collect and sell their data. It’s right there in the #Privacy_Policy; except that nobody reads it.
LayerX analyzed the #privacy #policies of thousands of #extensions and uncovered over 80 different extensions that collect and sell #customer #data. Some of these extensions include:
– A network of 24 media extensions that are installed on 800,000 users and collected viewing data and #demographic information on major streaming platforms such as #Netflix, #Hulu, #Disney+, #Amazon #Prime Video, #HBO, #Apple TV, and others
– 12 separate ad blockers with a combined install base of over 5.5 million users openly selling user data
– Nearly 50 other extensions, with over 100,000 users in aggregate, that collected and resold users’ browsing data
While #browser_extensions may seem innocent, these findings highlight the privacy exposure that can arise from unregulated usage of extensions.

New EU age verification app hacked in minutes
▻https://cybernews.com/security/eu-age-verification-app-hack
A newly unveiled #European #age_verification app is already under fire after a security researcher claimed he bypassed its protections in under 2 minutes.
The EU on Wednesday unveiled a new age verification app designed to let users prove their age online without handing over personal data to #platforms, removing the need for sites to collect sensitive information.
The criticism comes shortly after #Ursula_von_der_Leyen praised the new age verification app as “technically ready” and aligned with “the highest #privacy standards,” emphasizing its open-source nature as a transparency feature.

#Microsoft is running one of the largest #corporate #espionage operations in modern history.
Every time any of #LinkedIn’s one billion users visits #linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an #American-Israeli #cybersecurity firm.
The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s #privacy #policy does not mention it.
Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching #anonymous #visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.
This is illegal and potentially a criminal offense in every jurisdiction we have examined.

1. Il semble que le scan réalisé par LinkedIn cible surtout des extensions de scraping/IA
2. Il semble que cette campagne soit le fait d’un développeur d’extension de ce type refusée par LinkedIn. #Vengeance
LinkedIn ne devrait pas faire ce type de scan, mais la précision me semble importante.

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it up
▻https://www.npr.org/2026/03/25/nx-s1-5752369/ice-surveillance-data-brokers-congress-anthropic
A whole #industry of #data_brokers buys up vast quantities of electronic #information from #cell_phone #apps and #web #browsers and sells it to #advertisers who use that data to #target #ads. The same industry also sells that data, including bulk cell phone #location_data, to #police departments and #federal #government #agencies in ways that can reveal intimate details about #Americans without a #warrant.
Now, #privacy #advocates say that the best chance for #Congress to close the well-known loophole around the Fourth Amendment that allows for that sort of governmental snooping is coming up in just a few weeks.

#Bernie_Sanders just created a video to make a point about #issues of #privacy in #AI (a real problem). His supporters on #Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, “at this point, #Bernie’s job seems to be l#obbying for #Anthropic.”
So I’m going to elaborate on the #corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.
#Bernie has been repeating, almost verbatim, #Dario_Amodei's talking points, for a while now, even quote tweeting him. #Amodei positions Anthropic as the #ethical alternative to #OpenAI just like OpenAI positioned itself as the ethical alternative to #Google in 2015 and everyone ate it up. This was an article from then, the headline says that Muskrat, #Thiel, #Altman + friends founded an “#altruistic AI venture” 🙄
►https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35082344
I don’t remember who said this, but it’s like telling you to buy Camels instead of Marlboros while claiming to fight tobacco companies. If any politician parrots talking points of a CEO on a funding round, even on the harms of AI systems, you should be worried.
Remember when Altman schmoozed them and newspapers had headlines of him “begging” to be regulated and hailing him as an #Oppenheimer figure who is so worried about his own creation 🙄?
That was just last year!
►https://time.com/7267797/ai-leaders-oppenheimer-moment-musk-altman
You don’t believe Altman is such a figure but you think Amodei, who insisted that OpenAI use all 10,000 #GPUs and train the biggest model possible, when he was there, is such a figure?
In his video, Bernie is literally creating a #Claude ad, showing the system as an all knowing being that answers all of his questions. An ad for Anthropic, a company claiming that they can’t even confidently say that “Claude isn’t conscious”.
A company amassing #billions saying they’ll at once save us from evil super #intelligent #machines and build the #benevolent super intelligent machine that will solve all of our problems. They’re so worried about people not getting “reskilled” because workers are going to be replaced by their machine god that will do our jobs so much better than us. Investors want to hear about machine gods displacing workers because, well, that’s how they make money.
On another day, we’ll discuss why this is happening.
Effective altruists and overall #TESCREAL bundle #billionaires have infiltrated the #labor movement and #journalism, offering fellowships with staggering amounts of money like they invested ridiculous amounts of money into these companies claiming to build machine gods.
Money for the “problem” and #money for “the solution.”
Tech giants pledge $1bn for ’altruistic AI’ venture, OpenAI - BBC News
►https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35082344
Prominent tech executives have pledged $1bn (£659m) for OpenAI, a non-profit venture that aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) to benefit humanity.
The venture’s backers include #Tesla Motors and #SpaceX CEO #Elon_Musk, #Paypal co-founder #Peter_Thiel, Indian tech giant #Infosys and #Amazon Web Services.
Open AI says it expects its research - free from financial obligations - to focus on a “positive human impact”.
Scientists have warned that advances in AI could ultimately threaten humanity.
How Musk, Altman, AI Leaders Face the ’Oppenheimer Moment’ | TIME
►https://time.com/7267797/ai-leaders-oppenheimer-moment-musk-altman
This year, hundreds of billions of dollars will be spent to scale AI systems in pursuit of superhuman capabilities. CEOs of leading AI companies, such as OpenAI’s Sam Altman and xAI’s Elon Musk, expect that within the next four years, their systems will be smart enough to do most cognitive work—think any job that can be done with just a laptop—as effectively as or better than humans.
