    Mlem in app browser is using an in app browser API that is secure by design. It doesn’t allow snooping or injecting anything. This article is talking about abusive apps like Facebook that roll their own in app browser.

    Edit: although on iOS, the secure iOS in app browser api is always using safari engine, so the user choice argument is still valid.








  • I made a purchase on a sketchy site (during Covid when things were hard to find). A day or so later, some unauthorized transactions were made on my card. “Bank” called from actual number of my bank, to verify if I actually made the transactions. provided some of my personal information, transaction amount etc then asked to verify ssn. It was very convincing.

    Luckily I refused because I know anyone can call you claiming to be any number, and I didn’t give out any info, and said I would call back that number (my bank).

    Bank had no knowledge of a call.

    15 minutes later, get real fraud department call from my bank. They just wanted to know if it was fraud or not and didn’t ask for any other info.

    Moral of the story: if someone calls you, never give out personal info. Tell them you will call back if needed.
