#Debian has been moving more towards the deb.debian.org mirror which is provided by a single CDN company, #Fastly. It works well, but also feeds an enormous amount of #metadata to a single company, and it can be used to track computers and maybe even people. And the privacy policy in effect is unclear. Fastly says the #privacy policy of the "subscriber" applies, but the privacy policy for deb.debian.org is not listed anywhere I could find. Anyone have any insight here?
Every subsequent update of the #LastPass breach makes it worse. The latest one makes it clear that someone, somewhere, is probably putting a room full of discarded mining GPUs to work trying to crack that master password. Since the URLs are in plain text, whoever has the data has a list of all websites that a user cared enough about to make and store accounts on. That #metadata is going to be very useful for someone, somewhere. That the data hasn't yet popped up leaked or for sale hints that this could be yet another state-sponsored effort.
