Especially the ones that masquerade as “National Something Something”.

Too bad it's not an international privacy test. I really would have been interested to see how I scored.

Edit: wait a sec, this was all a NordVPN ad? The masters of deception at it with another campaign.

Bruhh, who made this?

None is the new all

Okay, this is just funny

Public charging stations could lead to juice-jacking attacks.

Are all laptop chargers USB now? Unsure how someone can extract data from a PSU.

Yes, the thing I’ve done while traveling for over a decade is: carry a cable that has the data pins removed.

Good luck juice jacking when all that’s present on my end is a + and - contact.

National Privacy Test.

Which nation is running this on a .org domain

Oh, that kind of nation.

Tried the quiz. First question: an app request access to data, what do you do?

  • allow all
  • allow nothing and uninstall
  • all strictly what is necessary (e.g. location for Uber)

Boy, first question and you already fuck up.. Never heard about the concept of address?
