Security News > 2021 > June > Everything Apple announced: Tor-ish Safari anonymization. Cloaked iCloud addresses. Cloud CI/CD. And more

WWDC Apple on Monday opened its 2021 Worldwide Developer Conference by promising a raft of operating system and privacy improvements - including a relay system to anonymize Safari connections, and randomized email addresses for online account signups.

Apple pundits had anticipated an Arm-based MacBook Pro, yet no word of next-generation Apple Silicon machines surfaced.

There is another way to look at this.... Oh, hey, an Apple event! Looks like Apple Wallet is adding the ability to unlock doors and hold your government ID, realizing my dream of only having to lose a single device to lock myself out of my hotel, home, and office and put myself on a no fly list.

"Built directly into Safari, iCloud settings, and Mail, Hide My Email also enables users to create and delete as many addresses as needed at any time, helping give users control of who is able to contact them," Apple added in the above link.

Craig Federighi, Apple's SVP of software engineering, said that Apple has a long history of automation, including command line shell scripts, Apple Script, and Automator, and now Shortcuts.

Developers using Apple technologies will finally get a cloud build system.
