Hi Readers, Rhett here.
To those who celebrate Christmas, we hope you had a good one. For those who don’t, we hope you passed the winter solstice in good company. This issue of Security Friday, we’re trying something different: good tidings. We’ve gathered what we think are some of the best good-news stories from 2025, ranging from laws that strengthen our privacy to new tools that you can use to protect yourself online, to a few that are just funny and maybe even heartwarming. We hope they’ll lend you a little cheer.
Do you have a favorite privacy or security-related story from this past year that we didn’t cover? Be sure to let us know by emailing security@iphonelife.com or replying to this email.

Why You Need a VPN in 2026
Here's the truth: something as innocent as checking your email on public Wi-Fi can leave you vulnerable to security attacks. Public networks — airports, hotels, coffee shops — are easy targets. And most people have no idea their traffic is exposed.
That's why we recommend NordVPN to iPhone Life readers. It encrypts your internet connection so no one can snoop on your activity, scans downloads for malware, alerts you if your email or passwords have been compromised in a data breach and keeps your connection fast (which not all VPNs can say). Right now, you can get 77% off NordVPN, plus three months free.
