A #1 top paid app in the Mac App Store has been stealing your data. 😳
Adware Doctor, which promised to "prevent malware and malicious files from infecting your Mac" actually created a locked history of your personal data, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari browser history... then uploaded it to a server in China. Not good.
The developers avoided Apple's detection for months by pausing their data collection when the app was run for the first time. The app has since been pulled from the Mac Store. 🤔
Now is also a good to chance to protect yourself from future hacks:
😱 Have I Been Pwned? will inform you if one of your accounts was compromised. They've cataloged over 5.3 Billion hacked accounts.
🦊 Mozilla's Facebook Container just launched to block Facebook from tracking you around the internet. Don't tell Zuck. 😳
🔍 Alphabet's Outline is an open-sourced VPN builder for anybody. Instead of trusting some shady company with all of your traffic, build your own private network to protect all your data.
🔐 1Password is better than storing your passwords on a post-it note on your desk, integrated into literally every browser.
💳 Privacy.com is the Snapchat of credit cards, generating a new (potentially ephemeral) credit card for every transaction online.

PROMOTED
Your agent writes the code, and then something has to say whether it did what you asked. Usually that something is another model reading the diff and forming an opinion about it. Tiden captures your intent as requirements, versioned alongside the code, then checks every change against them using tests that actually ran in your environment, so what comes back is a pass or a fail rather than a second opinion. No model grades the diff. It works beside Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Codex, and it's built by the team behind Qase, the testing platform 2,000+ teams already run on.
