Security researchers say iCloud Private Relay, designed to hide your IP in Safari, can leak the user’s real IP when a passkey-related request bypasses Private Relay via the OS credential service. The issue affects iOS browsers that rely on WebKit (including Tor's OnionBrowser), with a fix planned for Fall 2026. It’s not a VPN; Private Relay only protects Safari traffic.
Security researchers found flaws in Apple's iOS WebKit that let iCloud Private Relay leak users’ real IP addresses, especially through OS-level fetches used by passkeys that bypass the relay; the issues affect Safari and OnionBrowser (Tor), and Apple is investigating, though the official Tor Browser isn’t affected.
The article introduces Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a Debian-based Linux distro you can boot from a USB drive to maximize privacy by routing all activity through the Tor network. It includes built-in apps like LibreOffice, GIMP, and Inkscape, and data isn’t saved by default unless you enable Persistent Storage. It also provides steps to get started: download Tails, create a bootable USB with Rufus (Windows) or Etcher (macOS), and boot from the USB on most computers (Apple Silicon Macs aren’t fully supported yet).
A study from Queen Mary University of London reveals that caffeine may promote cellular longevity by activating the energy sensor AMPK, rather than directly affecting the growth regulator TOR, suggesting potential health and lifespan benefits from coffee consumption.
A study from Queen Mary University of London reveals that caffeine may slow cellular aging by activating the energy sensor AMPK, which influences cell growth, DNA repair, and stress response, potentially explaining some health benefits of caffeine related to aging and longevity.
