iPhone Mirroring may expose your personal app use to your boss
This isn't a real problem because iPhone mirroring requires that both the phone and mac are signed into the same Apple account. Meaning that far more is being compromised than the off chance that IT stumble across private/sensitive apps.
MDM software installed on the machine is likely already doing any/all of the below:
- Back ups of your personal documents, photos, contacts and more are likely being stored on company servers
- Your password keychain, certificates and FileVault encryption keys are being stored by the company
- The system is able to be remotely monitored, files wiped and locked down before the user has the opportunity to switch off their personal Apple account.
So the boss finding out that you've got Grindr installed on your personal phone is probably going to be low on your priority list when you realise they have all of your d--- pics. -
Fortnite coming to iPhones in the EU via AltStore
Epic was fined by the FTC for tricking kids into making unwanted purchases in Fortnite.
Epic stonewalled their parent's attempts at getting refunds, going so far as killing their kids Fortnite accounts if they did charge backs.
In the FTC's evidence, Epic's internal communications showed that they deliberately implemented these dark patterns specifically for this result. They planned it that way all along, and even optimised it to happen more often.
This is a company which people need to be wary of, not celebrated.
What you should be doing is downloading Fortnite once per year as an ongoing punishment for their reprehensible exploitation of children and soiling the good will of game developers.
That $1 CTF charge, one per user, every year. Give them the monkey paw treatment for their boundless greed. -
MacKeeper to pay out $2M in proposed class action settlement
Quote:I paid for the damn software. :-(
I'm more pissed at Apple for not producing or providing that type of software for MacOS. They leave their OS vulnerable to the Apple community; not even a virus protector. Shame on themHere's the problem with your thinking: Mac OS X does come with such protections, and unlike MacKeeper, Apple's implementations are legitimate and effective.
