What if your doorbell footage was part of a nationwide police surveillance network? 👀
In this episode of Snubs on Security, I’m breaking down some major privacy and cybersecurity news from this week — including Google killing off its big “Privacy Sandbox” project, Amazon Ring’s new partnership with Flock Safety (the AI surveillance megalord), and some alarming updates about synced passkeys and 2FA-stealing Android malware.
Plus, a good news story to end the episode: Europol’s massive takedown of a SIM farm that powered 49 million fake accounts.
🔒 Stories Covered:
- RIP Google Privacy Sandbox
- Ring + Flock Safety partnership (police surveillance concerns)
- Synced Passkey vulnerabilities
- Pixnapping Android malware attack
- Europol SIMCARTEL bust
