#Google is buying Wiz for $32B to beef up in cloud security, sources say

πŸ“ Nate Bear: Google's acquisition of israeli cybersecurity company Wiz will mark the single largest transfer of former Unit 8200 israeli spies into any American company. All Wiz founders are former 8200 as are dozens of staff, from office managers to product analysts to software engineers

Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak led a "mission critical R&D team" for #Unit8200, a unit that wrote the programming which automated the genocide of Gaza. Luttwak and team won the 'israel Defence Award 2012' for his work in 8200

The other co-founders of Wiz - Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik - are all former Unit 8200 members who served beyond mandatory service. I have a list of around 50 former Unit 8200 members who are current Wiz employees

⚑️macOS 15 and iOS 18 Is Scanning All Your Photos for Landmarks and Indexing Them in a Database
@takebackourtech

If you're using a Mac or iPhone running the latest software, your photos have been scanned by a new feature: "Enhanced Visual Search". This feature was automatically rolled out and users automatically opted-in.

The only mention of this feature was on Apple's legal notice for photos:
Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.


This applies to any and all photos stored on the device, not just the ones uploaded to iCloud, and as soon as the update is installed the feature is activated - before you even start to use the search feature. You had no choice in the matter.

But don't worry - Apple didn't link the photos to your account or IP address - so forcing millions of people to automatically use this feature doesn't matter.

Just another example of how your tech owns you - not the other way around.
