Privacy Roundup: Week 13 of Year 2025

Week 13 features Signalgate, 23andMe's bankruptcy, and more!

Hi!

Getting a little bit a late start to the work week this Monday, but here we are with Week 13 of the Privacy Roundup.

This edition covers news items published between 23 MAR 2025 - 29 MAR 2025 and includes stories like:

• 23andMe’s bankruptcy and what it may mean for users’ genetic data

• Signalgate! (iyktyk)

• An individual banned-for-life from a company’s venues solely based on data collected about him

• ProtonVPN now directly built in to Vivaldi’s desktop versions of its browser

• Sandbox escape vulnerabilities (and fixes) for Firefox and Chromium on Windows

Privacy Tip of the Week: Using a private search engine is a good way to begin improving your privacy. Private search engines generally avoid connecting users to their searches.

Enjoy!
