    What Online Retailers Actually Do With Your Data After You Check Out - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I shop online a lot. It’s convenient, I can usually find exactly what I’m looking for and, living in Tokyo, it’s sometimes the easiest way for me to get products that aren’t readily available here. I find what I want, place the order and generally don’t think much about what happens after that. But retailers have plenty to remember. Every product I look at and every purchase I make can reveal something about how I shop and what I might spend money on next. Some of that information makes shopping

    Phishing-as-a-Service Is Powering a New Wave of Cybercrime - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    While malware is certainly still a threat, these days it’s often easier for criminals to target your data instead of just your device.

Now you’re just as likely to be greeted by a cookie banner asking you whether you’d like to accept, reject or customize your privacy settings before you can read the first paragraph.

    I Recommend Leaving Your VPN Enabled Most of the Time. Here’s How and When I Use a VPN - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve been using a virtual private network, or VPN, for a couple of decades now. For the past decade, I’ve been traveling for work (and for pleasure). With these experiences under my belt, I’ve settled into a fairly simple approach. I leave my VPN connected most of the time and only turn it off when I have a specific reason not to. With your VPN on, you’ll gain invaluable privacy protections from prying eyes while benefiting from the ability to bypass censorship and regional content blocks. Snoop

    I Tried Windscribe's OpenClaw Integration. It’s a (Small) Step in the Right Direction - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We’ve reached the point in modern computing where people are now letting local AI agents browse sites, run commands and handle small tasks without constant supervision, all while tied directly to their home internet connection. Thankfully, somebody eventually noticed this might not be the best arrangement.
