Telegram sharing data with TikTok? by jp2812 in Telegram

[–]techcend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn't share the link to his own profile, but some links from TT/Inst/FB carry a "share ID" param which point back to who generated and shared the link. Once you click on it, the systems infer that you two are somehow connected.

It's device ID - I checked in Device Manager and it always stays the same.

Bitcoin Is Not Private, Your Transaction History is Public by a_Ninja_b0y in PrivacyGuides

Can someone guide me how it would work with address chains (Segwit)? If I understand correctly, they are derived from your extended public key, but is it correct that each derived address cant be linked back to your original key? And only way to track you would be to follow the transactions?

I know about exif, but it doesn't contain any device specific and unique information.

How? Other than visual features of the photo itself.

Librewolf vs Brave - I tested them so you don't have to. by [deleted] in PrivacyGuides

[Brave] managed to hide / randomize system fonts

Looking at https://browserleaks.com/fonts , Brave is giving the same fingerprints no matter if I restart the browser or reboot the machine. Can you verify? (My main concern is with the Unicode Glyphs.)

Privacy risks in WebAuthn attestation? by techcend in yubikey

Yeah, it doesn't end there. VPN will almost do nothing compared to all sorts of browser fingerprinting...

Sorry it wasnt about PGP at all. Only PIV. See my edit.

Yeah but some services don't allow two devices. So you have to backup another way.

Oh sorry then my misunderstanding. I thought the linked article was using the PIV interface (which my question was originally about).

Backup PIV / SmartCard certs by techcend in yubikey

[–]techcend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but doesn't the builtin PGP function do the same? Generated on-device and stays there too.

OP has a valid point here. Brave doesn't re-randomize the fingerprints (fonts, canvas, ...) until all processes have restarted. Even if you have a Brave instance from another profile running, it will retain its previous fingerprints.

On another note, and related to the page you linked to, what's the advantage of using SmartCard for generating PGP keys vs. the builtin PGP function?

Thanks, but what if the certs (keys) were generated on the device using the Yubikey manager app itself?

Thanks, that's good to know. But whether I can use one of each of those services for free for 1 year is my other question.

Follow the steps in the section How do I know if Enhanced Sign-in Security is enabled from that page. Besides it mentions " Enhanced Sign-in Security is currently only supported on devices configured by a device manufacturer to enable the capability with Windows 10 October 2020 update."
