Weakening TLS protection, South Korean style [palant.info]
TLS protocol is fundamental to internet security. All South Korean security applications add their own “trusted” Certificate Authorities however, weakening this protocol severely.

'Did not connect: Potential Security Issue' = working as intended outside South Korea.

Inside South Korea it's not hackers doing this, it's gov. It's life in South Korea. A little less security for a little more oversight.

Personally, I think it's worse in the United States. For example: few people know that when they are on Facebook they are on an in-app browser that only looks like their browser, but isn't. Occasionally Facebook does stuff like change links or, this stuff, and people realize it - [xda-developers.com...]

Those doing it claim to be doing it to protect you, or simply don't tell you, but it's always for their own benefit (typically data collection) too. The world isn't concerned with privacy and security, yet, or the good guys would stop doing things people don't want them to as well.

Either way, it's kinda scary to think gov and big tech want everyone to do everything online, including see a doctor.
