Our story

This site is created by security researchers and privacy advocates for anyone who cares about protecting their digital life. We write about the topics we personally find most important and pressing – no fluff, no filler. The categories in the header give you a glimpse into what we cover most, but expect these to grow as the landscape of security and privacy continues to evolve.

In Security we share news and research – from hardening your devices to exploring new attack vectors. In Privacy & AI, we track global developments, legislation, and how they affect your digital rights. And in Guides, you’ll find walkthroughs and recommendations for software and services that actually help keep you secure – from VPNs to password managers and encrypted messengers.

This project is primarily maintained by Alex, who has spent over two decades writing about technology, software, and security. His work has appeared in major publications worldwide, covering everything from high-profile breaches to AI-powered surveillance systems. (Yes, that viral story about AI training on Zoom calls? That was him.)

The easiest way to reach us is by email.

Why aren’t you on social media?
Because we value privacy. Social media platforms operate on opaque algorithms and exploitative data practices that go against the very principles we write about. Instead, you can share our articles using the buttons at the end of each guide, subscribe via our RSS feed.
