Going dark: Is encryption a threat to our security? The Swedish EU Council says yes.

Huge win for privacy: Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe!
EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms. This business model is illegal according to the GDPR.Tutanota
Tomorrow, you might have to limit where you live because you won’t live in a Google Home and reconsider having 20/20 vision again in exchange for the artificial lens company seeing everything you see.
Privacy is not something you can “vote with your wallet” on. We either protect it as a human right or we lose it altogether.

But first I need to do a bunch of explaining because most people (my past self from a few months ago included) are largely unfamiliar with the Korean software landscape. See: they have those “security” applications that everyone has to install if they want to use online banking for example.
What could possibly go wrong with applications developed by private vendors without any kind of security vetting and that everyone in a country has to install, whether they like it or not? A lot of course.
In this first blog post I explain how in my limited understanding the current situation came about, show why the companies lack incentive to really invest in security and give you a first slight idea of the disastrous consequences.
No, I’m not exaggerating. The next blog post is scheduled for January 9th, and it will be about a specific application. I submitted seven vulnerability reports for this one. It took a real issue and claimed to have solved it – by making matters considerably worse than they were.
