About this episode

The episode discusses recent vulnerabilities in Linux, a large Palantir database, and updates on Android security features.

Linux gets hit with a third major vulnerability in as many weeks, a Palantir-built database of 20 million people, and Android delivers both bad news (a new VPN leak Google has refused to patch) and good news (intrusion logging for high-risk users). Plus encrypted RCS finally arrives in iOS 26.5, Instagram quietly kills its end-to-end encrypted DMs, and the usual roundup of data breaches, threats, and FOSS+ updates in your weekly Surveillance Report. 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE Become a Techlorian and keep this show growing: ★ Support this podcast ★ 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS View all sources here: https://techlore.tech/three-linux-exploits-palantir-20m-person-database-and-androids-good-bad-week-surveimay-13/ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 INTRO TO SURVEILLANCE REPORT 00:34 A THIRD LINUX VULNERABILITY STRIKES! 05:16 PALENTIR KNOWS ALL 07:20 SOME QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS 10:32 ANDROID: GOOD AND BAD NEWS 15:48 DEFENSE BULLETIN: DATA BREACHES 20:54 DEFENSE BULLETIN: THREATS 27:12 DEFENSE BULLETIN: FOSS+ 🎥 VIDEO Watch on YouTube 📰 ABOUT SURVEILLANCE REPORT Your essential weekly tech news podcast covering the latest threats to security, privacy, and digital freedom.
