Habr Weekly # 13 / Under threat of 1.5 million users of a dating service, Medusa investigation, deanon of Russians

Talking about privacy again. We have been discussing this topic in one way or another since the beginning of the podcast, and it seems that we managed to draw several conclusions for this issue: we are nevertheless soared by our privacy; it’s important not to hide, but from whom; we are our data.

The reason for the discussion was two materials: on a vulnerability in a dating application that disclosed data to 1.5 million people; and about services that can deanonymize any Russian. Inside the post there are links to materials and sites where you can still listen to our podcast.

During the conversation, we mentioned these materials:

• The vulnerability of a dating application revealed the data of 1.5 million users - including in the US White House .
• Medusa: “A scientific center in managing the affairs of the president can deanonymize any resident of Russia . ”

• Dating site for full girls .
