Privacy in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism: Lessons from Meredith Whittaker
In a digital age where our most intimate conversations are routinely harvested as corporate assets, Signal president Meredith Whittaker stands as a rare voice of clarity. In two recent appearances—one at Slush 2024 and another in conversation with marketing legend Guy Kawasaki at SXSW LIVE—Whittaker delivered a masterclass in why privacy matters to everyone, not just the paranoid or those with "something to hide."

Security Threat Intel Report - 2025-03-20
This analysis examines interconnected vulnerability chains affecting four major technology stacks: Fortinet security infrastructure, VMware virtualization environments, Microsoft Windows systems, and GitHub development pipelines. While these specific attack paths have not yet been observed in the wild, the individual components represent realistic exploitation scenarios aligned with current attacker methodologies. Our assessment provides a practical evaluation of potential exploitation and effective defensive countermeasures.
