TikTok can track its users’ every tap, keyboard input, and keystroke through its iOS in-app browser. 

Ex-Google Engineer and privacy researcher, Felix Krause published a report on Thursday which revealed that when TikTok users enter a website through a link on the iOS app, TikTok inserts code that can monitor much of their activity on these outside websites. 

The tracking would make it possible for TikTok to capture a user’s credit card information or password.

TikTok spyware follows everything you do, can capture passwords! Remember TikTok belongs to the Chinese communist party and Chinese military.

If you have this piece of sh*t on your phone, consider deleting it asap.

I stumbled on a very easy to understand article that describes how prime numbers (those evenly divisible only by themselves and 1) form the basis for secure computer communications. You’ve seen https:  vs http: in URL’s and probably know the added “s” means secure. Maybe you know that SSL means secure sockets layer, which sends and receives information in an encrypted form. And once in a while you might see a warning that a web site has a problem with its security certificate. Do you know that all this is based on the huge amount computational work needed to factor a large prime number?

Yet another Federal Fail. Personal info on 4.5 million people stolen from Obamacare website.

A healthcare system spanning 29 states announced on Monday that cybercriminals operating from China stole information on approximately 4.5 million patients, including names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers.

If you are on, or applied for, Obamacare you might be one of the victims. Do you think Obama shares your pain?
