The Captain is a-spottin'

Avast was collecting users' browser information from 2014 to 2020, then selling it to more than 100 other companies through a since-shuttered entity known as Jumpshot, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Under a proposed recent FTC order (PDF), Avast must pay $16.5 million, which is "expected to be used to provide redress to consumers," according to the FTC.

If you were an Avast user between 2014 and 2020, you might get some cash. Also worth noting: Jumpshot was owned by Avast.

There's two ways to look at this:

Now that Avast is on the FTC's radar, they're gonna be on their best behavior (i.e. safe), or

Now that Avast has been revealed to be unscrupulous, why trust them ever again?

I personally stopped using Avast because their stuff is so freekin invasive and loud. Always popping up with false positives and/or needless "your system is clean!" messages in between ads to buy more Avast products & services. The final nail was when it tried to quarantine my software development tools.

What an aggravating product.

“For years, the antivirus software company harvested information from users’ web browsers without their consent.

“Avast, the cybersecurity software company, is facing a $16.5 million fine after it was caught storing and selling customer information without their consent. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the fine on Thursday and said that it’s banning Avast from selling user data for advertising purposes.

“From at least 2014 to 2020, Avast harvested user web browsing information through its antivirus software and browser extension, according to the FTC’s complaint. This allowed it to collect data on religious beliefs, health concerns, political views, locations, and financial status. The company then stored this information “indefinitely” and sold it to over 100 third parties without the knowledge of customers, the complaint says.”

If you want to run a sea-centered campaign or a session for your TTRPG game, listen to some sea shanties. They sometimes contain stories and legends you can use in your setting! Bonus points if you have a bard in your party or someone with any background that could know shanties, as they may recognize a cursed ship from one of them if they see it. Tale of the Shadow is a fine example!
