Episode Description from the Publisher

Linux gets hit with a third major vulnerability in as many weeks, a Palantir-built database of 20 million people, and Android delivers both bad news (a new VPN leak Google has refused to patch) and good news (intrusion logging for high-risk users). Plus encrypted RCS finally arrives in iOS 26.5, Instagram quietly kills its end-to-end encrypted DMs, and the usual roundup of data breaches, threats, and FOSS+ updates in your weekly Surveillance Report.🧡 SUPPORT TECHLOREBecome a Techlorian and keep this show growing: ★ Support this podcast ★ 🔗 SOURCES & LINKSView all sources here: https://techlore.tech/three-linux-exploits-palantir-20m-person-database-and-androids-good-bad-week-surveimay-13/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 INTRO TO SURVEILLANCE REPORT00:34 A THIRD LINUX VULNERABILITY STRIKES!05:16 PALENTIR KNOWS ALL07:20 SOME QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS10:32 ANDROID: GOOD AND BAD NEWS15:48 DEFENSE BULLETIN: DATA BREACHES20:54 DEFENSE BULLETIN: THREATS27:12 DEFENSE BULLETIN: FOSS+🎥 VIDEOWatch on YouTube 📰 ABOUT SURVEILLANCE REPORTYour essential weekly tech news podcast covering the latest threats to security, privacy, and digital freedom.
