[Bug 2033133] Re: Privacy concern in auto generated UbiquitySyslog.txt: leaks all visible SSIDs, enabling geolocating user

[paulw2u]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) reached end-of-life on July 11, 2024.

The Ubiquity installer is now unmaintained as it has been replaced by
either the 'Ubuntu Desktop Installer' or 'Calamares' starting with the
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release. So this bug report is being closed as
'Invalid' as the reported issue will not be fixed or investigated.

New bug reports relating to Ubuntu's installer should be reported
against the 'ubuntu-desktop-provision' project or the 'calamares'
package.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  Privacy concern in auto generated UbiquitySyslog.txt: leaks all
  visible SSIDs, enabling geolocating user

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When submitting a bug with "ubuntu-bug", it auto-uploads a
  UbiquitySyslog.txt file which contains all the visible SSIDs. This is
  a potential privacy concern as such information can be used to
  geolocate the launchpad user.

  Clicking "Don't send" just closes the dialog box and no browser window
  is opened. I expected the browser window to still be opened even when
  I click "don't send", or let me choose what to send.
