       @stefano I'd say I'm shocked, but with what Microsoft is doing nowadays it was only a matter of time until they'd try something like this.

       @stefano Setting up a new iPhone prompts for user's MacBook password. Hash or not -  completely bonkers when the user has iCloud passwords/keychain sharing turned off and one closed OS can tell if password stored on another closed OS on closed hardware is proper or not.How are users supposed to be security conscious when major vendors are pulling crap like this for the sole purpose of gathering any and all private data they can get their VC-funded hands on?

       @wojtek I've been a fond supporter of open source and secure solutions and, year after year, it's becoming even more important. Too bad people still don't understand it and feel secure giving all their data to those big companies.

       @stefano Sadly, convenience numbs security-related thinking and bigtech has a generous budget on boosting the efficiency of dark patterns and lobbying for user-hostile regulations.

       @stefano I have been alarmed by Little Snitch alerts on Mac which show Outlook trying to resolve URLs when I click on them. They should only be resolved by my chosen browser, not by an invisible system in my mail application.#cybersecurity

       @merospit this is quite scary.

       @stefano It's work, which for me is cybersecurity, so I notice. Almost all others wouldn't notice and Outlook would be out resolving potentially sensitive URLs without their knowledge and telling Microsoft (which possibly includes Bing) about the results.

       @stefano if you use outlook voluntarily I guess you wouldn't care anyway.If you have to use it professionally - meh. My employer thinks msft is a great idea, they pay me for it, it's their data. IDGAF. 🤷
