Privacy - the new fame?
summary
Company builds Wickr, an end-to-end encrypted messenger used in 190 countries and rated by PC Magazine, and runs a $200,000 bug bounty plus over $1M/year on hackers to stay ahead of zero days. Architecture is a zero-knowledge system so no keys or user metadata exist, which lets the service refuse government orders and survive incidents; a public warrant canary signals gag orders. Practical tips include DIY Faraday cage with tin foil for RFID/GPS protection and teaching kids privacy by showing how easy eavesdropping can be.
