‼️ Google Search is now hiding where its results lead. Links point to google[.]com/goto?, followed by an opaque string only Google can resolve.

You can no longer inspect a destination before clicking it, or copy the address out of the page.

Every click now travels through Google first.

We're not sure whether this will roll out everywhere and to every account. One account we tested didn't show the behaviour yet, so it may be a gradual rollout.

❗️ The European Commission is proposing an age ladder rather than an outright ban, covering social media, online games, AI companion chatbots and video-sharing platforms.

All these platforms will be forced to verify users' ages.

Under 13: only accounts opened and controlled by a parent.

13 to 15: "introductory" accounts with screen-time limits, parental controls and restrictions on contact with strangers.

From 15: teenagers can sign up on their own.

The EU Kids Act is due Thursday, according to POLITICO, which has seen the preparatory documents.

‼️ BREAKING: We're in contact with the Revolut hacker. According to them, they didn't only take Revolut data, they've also compromised multiple Italian law enforcement departments.

They say the operation targeting Revolut ran for six months, and that they used Italian law enforcement systems to send data requests to Revolut.

They claim to hold 147 GB taken from the Italian side, including internal docs, calendars and personal material, among it the chat logs of a federal officer arguing with his wife.

They've also launched a website today.

Threat actor IAmNotAVillain says most of the Revolut data comes from Switzerland and France, but claims Revolut also handed over data on residents of the following countries:

Cyprus, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Bulgaria, Czechia, Romania, Poland, Malta, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Latvia, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Croatia, Ireland, Slovakia, Finland, Lithuania, Hungary, Denmark, Turkey, Monaco, Luxembourg, Bahamas, Slovenia, United Kingdom.

They say the data includes high-profile individuals, among them a player at Barcelona, Georges Mikautadze.

Spur raised $200 million this year.

Synthient is just one guy named Ben.
