Welcome back to **Snubs on Security**, the show where I spill the tea and break down the biggest cybersecurity and privacy stories you actually need to know about.
This week isโฆ a lot.
Weโre talking about a smart toilet camera that claimed to use end-to-end encryption (spoiler: it didnโt), Google quietly shutting down its dark web monitoring feature, millions of users unknowingly installing spyware via browser extensions, and a maximum-severity React vulnerability thatโs already being actively exploited in the wild.
If you care about privacy, browser security, or keeping your personal data out of the wrong hands, buckle up.
This episode is sponsored by DeleteMe, a service that removes your personal information from data broker websites and keeps monitoring so it doesnโt quietly come back. If youโre doing last-minute holiday shopping, this is genuinely one of the most practical privacy gifts you can give.
In this episode:
- Why Kohlerโs smart toilet camera raised serious privacy red flags
- The difference between โTLSโ and real end-to-end encryption
- Google ending dark web monitoring and what that means for users
- A massive browser extension supply-chain attack affecting millions
- How ShadyPanda turned trusted extensions into spyware
- React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) and why you need to patch immediately
