What happened
Collection of Bruce Schneier blog posts covering several security and privacy topics: a new ‘Squidbleed’ bug in the Squid proxy that can leak HTTP requests, and a separate report that FIFA’s network was trivially vulnerable to attackers with minimal access. Broader commentary includes risks from AI-driven surveillance, concentration of power in AI data centers, proposals to regulate companies (data minimization, fiduciary duties, liability for negligent design), and research on a ‘Fourier’ pixel that can turn displays into cameras (privacy implications). Also includes a historical piece on T.
