What happened

The feed highlights multiple consumer security topics: Opera is rolling out a clipboard-protection feature to detect and block malicious clipboard content and mitigate “ClickFix”/clipboard-jacking attacks. Other notable items include a new Android setting to warn about bad Wi‑Fi/fake cell towers, Proton’s Lumo 2.0 positioning as a privacy-focused ChatGPT alternative (claims it won’t train on user data), guidance for adding a VPN to smart TVs, a WordPress spam attack mitigation case study, and discussion about whether third‑party antivirus is still necessary versus Microsoft Defender.
