Can you kindly tell me the difference between a leak and a breach?
Like when I read 3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online, am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to haveibeenpwned.com for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't.
Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.

That seems to only be available for Android.
Did Obama do anything relating to this?
I tried looking for lists but didn't find any.

I'm actually pissed. I and many other users on the forum got an email from Chris Hayes on this:
Hello,
This is a friendly email to make you aware that your personal email address is currently visible to the whole internet via Mozilla's Discourse forum. It will show up in Google Search results. The affected email is the one that this email was sent to.
Many users may not be aware that their email address is publicly visible and Mozilla has not done anything about it in the 4 years it has been known, so I've taken this into my own hands to inform you.
What can you do?
You can update your profile name to be something else (actually, profile name is completely optional, so you can leave it blank if you want).
Steps to update profile name:
- If you search for "Mozilla Discourse forum" it should be one of the first results.
- Login. (Top-right)
- Click on your profile picture at the top right.
- Then, click on your username, at the top of the dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Preferences" button.
- Change the "Name" field, and click "Save Changes".
How did this happen?
There's a misconfiguration with Mozilla's Discourse forum that when you sign up with your Firefox account, it will by default use your personal email address as your profile's public name.
This is not a new issue, and has been known since 2020. The Mozilla Discourse forum is not actively maintained by Mozilla, so this has yet to be fixed.
You are one of 4,630 other users impacted by this privacy issue. It impacts 19% of all forum users, and 28% of new users.
More information:
There's a Discourse discussion about this problem here: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/email-is-displayed-by-default-for-the-new-account/92266
If you have connections to Mozilla, please help escalate this issue to the right people. This is a serious and long-standing privacy issue at an organization that should value "Privacy by default".
Sincerely,@chrisA fellow Mozillian

One example would be state disability programs, they already need my real name and identity to work with me. Are there any downsides to sharing a simplelogin alias containing my real name vs no containing my real name? I just think it would be easier record keeping for them.

No I did end up changing my studentaid email to an SL alias, though I might wanna change it back if it keeps having issues. The issue is that icloud bounced the email, and SimpleLogin itself gave me an email each time one got bounced, with to go to simplelogin.com and see the bounced email. This is the title for each one
An email sent to your alias
redacted@simplelogin.com from donotreply@studentaid.gov was bounced by your mailboxredacted@icloud.com
I just tried changing my email on studentaid.gov to a simplelogin alias (using SL is a habit at this point) and I got notifications that emails from it were bounced while trying to verify the email change with sent codes. I looked it up and found a bunch of Reddit posts about issues with SL and iCloud.
Can this app work without a server, like just log my location on-device?
I want an app that can track it automatically, and without having to open it to do so, Google maps on iOS does so. You can allow apps to always access your location to do so.
I guess there are still users for it.
Personally I moved on from it 4 years ago since I was using it for bookmarking and raindrop.io is designed for that and much better, though I've been planning on switching to something self-hosted.
I think Omnivore is a much better read it later app now.
No I used a different username on the site
I just installed ClearURLs and it still has the tracking parameters, can I add parameters to the addon for it to remove?
I got it after make 5 aliases for 5 Reddit accounts.
This is on my paid account.
SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain
I just tried it on the Tor Browser and I still get the error, I'm gonna wait a day to see if its just a rate limit, because I've prolly created dozens of aliases today as I've been changing all my account emails.
I don't use Tor as my default browser because the Tor circuits are slower and not necessary for my threat model.
How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?
I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though
I'm long past that, I've gotten LOTS of downvotes from cross-posting to too many Firefox communities, because they show up in the feed multiple times for users I think.
Yeah personally I set the tab height in my userChrome file
But couldn't the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?
But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it's not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can't be disabled.
