MITIGATIONS
According to Leviathan, there are several ways to minimize the threat from rogue DHCP servers on an unsecured network. One is using a device powered by the Android operating system, which apparently ignores DHCP option 121.
Relying on a temporary wireless hotspot controlled by a cellular device you own also effectively blocks this attack.
“They create a password-locked LAN with automatic network address translation,” the researchers wrote of cellular hot-spots. “Because this network is completely controlled by the cellular device and requires a password, an attacker should not have local network access.”
Leviathan’s Moratti said another mitigation is to run your VPN from inside of a virtual machine (VM) — like Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox. VPNs run inside of a VM are not vulnerable to this attack, Moratti said, provided they are not run in “bridged mode,” which causes the VM to replicate another node on the network.
Incognito is just a word that means things.
Not those things. Well - yes, it does mean that but it doesn’t mean that hahaha. No, we just called it that but that’s not on us, if you don’t know that, then that’s on you for believing in the definition of words. Also this message is private. And secret. When we say “let’s all murder trump” over and over - it is the name of the product, so you can’t blame us for saying it all the time - it doesn’t actually mean that, you see. I mean, obviously. You’d have to be a Grade-A moron to think it was anything but a secret message that was private and didn’t mean what the words usually mean. Pfft.
Do the android versions also harvest data?
They do.
So why call out iphone? Because they’re supposed to manage every telemetric aspect of the 2.24 million apps on the app store?
Sure, ok. This connectivity is allowed, This connectivity isn’t. Sounds great, how do they find that information out? Super magical quantum computers probably.
CNN Management: I’m worried that since our purchase by a right-wing nut job and our spectacular idiot explosion of the last CEO, that we’re still in danger of being considered a valid corporate news outlet. What can we do?
CNN Schmuck: We could force mandatory tracking and ads on all website visitors.
CNN Management: Brilliant!

If you sign up for a service using real information that can be traced to you (as in this case: home address, personal email) and then do illegal* things with the account, don’t.
The * here is that what the alleged protester allegedly did or said is irrelevant. And the article is pretty clickbaity, unless the author was unaware of how online accounts work.
