If you think you might be targeted by sophisticated cyber attacks, it is fair to say that you should refrain from using your encrypted messaging apps on your Mac

Holy smoke 🤯 This bug has led us to gain access to any app's Keychain entries on macOS. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Still, no time to report it to Apple yet

An attacker can trick a user into performing a simple yet common action that breaks the sandbox protection of any file (e.g iMessage database and Safari browsing data) giving any application permanent access to the target file

Is it just me, or does the Mail app on iOS 26 in the year 2025 A.D. does not have the option to set the “Reply To” field in an email?

Psylo: Privacy Browser & Proxy @psylo.app · Sep 30

Psylo 1.0.6 is out now! A little late to the Liquid Glass party, but maybe fashionably late? 😬

This update mainly brings iOS 26 support with Liquid Glass, along with a redesigned navigation bar. Below are the full release notes.

Of course, we’re still investigating and won’t reveal the details until we report it to Apple. Though it shocked us that such a simple action can have such an effect on the sandbox.

The first hit from Wikipedia has the correct answer, but Gemini's wrong answer has to be shown first and occupy most of the screen because AI is cool

screenshot of searching for the term "latest macos" in Google. Gemini generative result is shown first occupying most of the screen. Gemini says it is Version 15 whereas the first hit from Wikipedia is shown far away. It holds the correct answer: Version 26

Apple started to proxy requests to Google's safe browsing service in iOS 14.5. This was done to prevent leaking IP addresses to Google. Is it a bug? Or Apple stopped hiding our IPs from Google in iOS 26?

Why do all browsers in iOS 26 communicate with this Google service? Has Apple changed how safe websites are downloaded?
Psylo tunnels all connections via our proxy servers to prevent IP leaks. How are these calls made? Does Google see the real IP?

This happens when the #security team doesn't sync with the #UI team. 😅
The code that Instagram sent was alphabetical, but the UI in the app showed a numpad and only allowed numeric input.

As Psylo is the only #iOS browser that opens App Store links anonymously in the web, the review link below will open in the web view. Copy the link and paste it in another browser. It should take you to the App Store to rate Psylo 🙏

I asked Plex a bunch of questions about its data breach of user account information, but the company wouldn't say why it hasn't force-reset its users' passwords and is instead asking users to do it. The company also hasn't explained how (and to what extent) it scrambled those passwords.

No thanks, I won’t get the app.

Native apps can track and fingerprint you more easily. Use the web version in a privacy-protecting browser that obfuscates common fingerprinting markers, and completely isolates it from other websites.

If only there was such a browser… 🤔

What a productive day! I accidentally time-traveled to the year 2076, created an Excel sheet, and returned. But that's not the puzzling part. I still can't believe that an Excel file can be so backward compatible.

Psylo network doesn't have obfuscated servers, making it easy to block. To overcome this, use Psylo with a VPN that offers obfuscation, such as Proton or Mullvad. This allows you to connect to Psylo's proxy servers through the VPN, making silos work as expected.
