Facebook’s “Protect” Virtual Private Network is anything but “private”. Facebook has been using this VPN to monitor all of your web surfing, adding even more information about its users to its colossal database. Apple removed the app from it’s App Store due to violations of its recently upgraded privacy policies. You should delete the app from your phone and use a better VPN.

In other news, banks are using 2,000 data points about how you tap, swipe, type, click and move to try to prevent fraud, DEFCON hackers have found more bugs in our election systems (though the headlines got it mostly wrong), Amazon Echo might be able to scare off burglars, and DNA service 23andMe is starting to dial back access to your data for third party developers.
