Hi Readers, Rhett here.

We always say privacy and security are hard to get right. We expect companies like Apple to get it right the first time. After all, the company prides itself on the security of its devices and boasts about the privacy of Apple accounts. That's why when we found out there was a vulnerability in Hide My Email that allowed others to find out your real email address, we were surprised and disappointed. Thankfully, Apple has now taken action to fix this exploit. You can find the story down below along with news about a new data protection law from California, information about new malware affecting macOS, and much more.

Stay safe out there!
