Founder, Secria
Adrian founded Secria to build privacy tools normal people can actually use. He writes about encryption, post-quantum cryptography, and how to live outside the surveillance economy.
A VPN sends every site you open and every app that phones home through one company's servers. Your internet provider stops seeing where you go, and the VPN company starts. So a VPN never removes the p...
You typed something into a direct message you would never say in a meeting. About your manager, a recruiter, your salary, your health. The header said "Direct message," and it felt like a closed door....
There are two popular beliefs about internet providers, and both are wrong. One says your ISP reads everything, down to what you type into a search box. The other says the HTTPS padlock made your ISP ...
Every few months a headline says Google's AI is reading your inbox, then Google says it isn't, and both are partly right. They are talking about different things. Here is what actually happens to your...
Most advice on email privacy fixes one thing. Alias guides hide your address and stop there. Security guides tell you to turn on two-factor and call it privacy. Encryption guides skip the inbox you al...
Most guides to sending an encrypted email stop at "click Encrypt." That gets the message past snoops on the network, but it rarely stops your own email provider from reading it. Below are the exact st...
Open a marketing email and, before you have read a word, the sender often knows you opened it, when, and roughly where you were. That is a tracking pixel at work, and in most mail apps the off switch ...
"Google doesn't read your email anymore" is one of the most repeated reassurances on the internet. It is half true, and the half that is true is the least important part....
Your Google Drive files are encrypted. That sentence is true, and it is also the reason so many people assume Drive is private when it is not. The question that matters is not whether the files are en...
Your email is almost certainly encrypted on its way between servers. Whether it is encrypted so that nobody else can read it is a different question, and the padlock in your inbox does not answer it. ...
Ask whether Signal or encrypted email is safer and you get a quick answer: Signal. For a private conversation, that is right. But it answers a narrower question than most people are asking, because Si...
You have probably said something on a Zoom call you would not want read back to you. A diagnosis. A salary. A lawyer's advice. Whether that call was private depends on a setting most people have never...
Every "best private email" list puts a brand at number one and moves on. That skips the part you actually need: how to tell whether a provider can read your mail, and whether it will still be private ...
Search "zero-knowledge" and you get two sets of answers that seem to disagree. One says it is a way to prove something is true without revealing why. The other says it is a way to store data so the co...
There is probably an image on most pages you visit today that you will never see. One pixel wide, one pixel tall, usually transparent. It does nothing for you. It exists to tell a company that you arr...
Picture a sealed envelope going through the post. Nobody opens it. But the outside still says who sent it, who it is for, the postmark, and the date. Do that once and it means nothing. Do it for every...
Somewhere, someone is saving encrypted data they cannot read yet: login sessions, medical portal traffic, old email. They are betting that a future machine will open it. That bet is why "post-quantum"...
Some drivers found out their car was tracking them the same way you find out about a hidden charge. Their insurance quote jumped, and nobody could explain why....
Open a private window and the browser tells you a little story. Chrome shows a hat and glasses and the words "You've gone Incognito." Firefox gives you a purple mask. The whole design says: you are hi...
Picture a person in London. iPhone in their pocket, iCloud switched on, photos and notes and a full device backup syncing to Apple the way they have for years. This week Apple went to court to defend ...
There is a new box that pops up on iPhones this summer. You are using an AI feature, generating a shape in Pages, cleaning up a note, and a permission alert appears telling you the request is being pr...
If you followed privacy news this year, you saw the same headline over and over. Tracking pixels are illegal. Courts are cracking down. Meta and Google are in trouble....
Backed by the Mach37 cybersecurity accelerator, Secria adds a no-logs, post-quantum VPN to the encrypted email platform that launched less than a year ago. DOVER, DE, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2026. Sec...
As of today, May 8, 2026, end-to-end encryption is gone from Instagram direct messages. Meta confirmed the change earlier this year and is rolling it out to all users today. This is a notable moment f...
Email is over fifty years old. The encryption protecting it is, in most cases, a thin layer of TLS bolted on decades after the protocol was designed. In 2026, the gap between what people think their e...
You've probably seen the little lock icon in your browser and assumed your emails are safe. They're encrypted, right? Technically yes. But that word covers a lot of ground. And most of the time, it co...
"We take your privacy seriously." You've seen that line a thousand times. Usually right before a company explains how they process your data to serve you better ads. Email providers love the word "enc...
Secria Launches Mobile Apps: Bringing Post-Quantum Encrypted Email to iOS and Android Quantum-resistant email now available on all major platforms...
The encryption protecting your emails right now has an expiry date. RSA, ECC, Diffie-Hellman. All of it will be broken by quantum computers. And the scary part isn't some far-off future scenario. The ...
