THOUGHTS ON RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Security researchers at Mysk publicly disclosed three WebKit vulnerabilities that leak users' DNS traffic and real IP addresses, successfully bypassing privacy protections in iCloud Private Relay and proxy-based browsers like Tor. Frustrated by Apple's historically slow patch cycles, the team bypassed standard coordinated disclosure, opting to publicly release the details after privately securing mitigations for Psylo and the Onion Browser. While Apple patched iCloud Private Relay within two weeks of the announcement, the underlying WebKit proxy flaws remain active, forcing affected users to rely on full-device VPNs for comprehensive protection.
