As of the time of posting, there are no remediation measures available to end-users. We have to wait for a patch from services providers/Cloudflare.

This shouldn’t cause too much of a problem, as it only rounds your location down to the nearest Cloudflare data center.

YOU CAN, HOWEVER, AS ALWAYS, USE TOR OR A TRUSTED VPN PROVIDER TO CONCEAL YOUR LOCATION.

I will be updating this comment as details emerge.

Lawmakers love EU buzzwords

After thorough discussion with Oliver’s PR team, it has been concluded that he is so beautiful his every appearance is a debut.

Hope this clears it up!

This post isn’t meant to promote Monero but to serve as a PSA to people already using it and those whose threat model requires it. While it can be incredibly useful when anonymity is required, it’s far from a perfect currency, at least in its current state of adoption.

I understand your aversion to crypto and even agree with you in some aspects, but some people simply don’t have the luxury to use fiat currency.

My, oh, my. What a nice feature.

I clocked that right after I posted. Knew it was just a matter of time before someone commented this.

Hmmm, strange. It’s working on my side.

Take a look at this article from Wired (which I would consider a reputable source).

Not the kind of data loss we are concerned with. As long as his data doesn’t reach a third party, we are happy.

Sadly yes

Cast it in concrete for even better security

Yes, I already mentioned that in the title. However, it is always bad practice to rely on a third party for your privacy. Especially a third party that profits off of your data.

EXIF data is sometimes appended when you take pictures and often includes things like the coordinates it was taken at (exact location), the device it was taken on, and some additional identifiers. This is, of course, bad for privacy, especially when posting online, as someone can accurately track you just from the image.

I found this article, which seems to describe how to remove it fairly well and does not appear to be sponsored.

No, it should delete all system files. Those people don’t deserve a computer.

This is quite extreme. While it could be beneficial for some threat models, this was written as an example for the average Joe. OPSEC is not about having the best possible security as much as it is about having security that satisfies your threat model.

When it comes to all Linux distributions based on Debian (which is a good chunk of them), the Debian Security Advisory mailing list notifies you of all critical security updates and vulnerabilities. Even if you don’t use Linux, it’s still useful to see what was patched in relation to what CVE.
