A pretty interesting story on vehicle tracking by law enforcement just needing a modern vehicle with no need to install a GPS tracker. I’d prefer just removing the hardware myself or the sim card if able, though some manufacturers are…
I haven’t paid that much attention to these reports because there is a lot of propaganda floating around AI leading into the IPOs, but there was one angle that is interesting, using AI to frame people for hacking crimes. Way…
The fact that Blockstream hasn’t restored the funds to make Liquid Bitcoin whole, with funds locked in the layer 2 now for a couple weeks, it’s pretty solid evidence that you can’t trust these guys and their Liquid Bitcoin layer…
And it’s not true that Google’s Play Store is more secure, as they let malware through. I’m running LineageOS and have F-Droid installed, and I use F-Droid opensource apps primarily with just a few Play Store apps because of subscriptions.…
Yet more wealth extraction from businesses for a stupid system, which we’ll learn leaked everyone’s data eventually. You’d have to suspect that the government is grabbing all this data, and hackers are probably using purposeful exploits put in place for…

This is a strong foundation for the coming agentic AI spyware systems coming to surveil users, and targeting Linux, not to be left out from Windows and macOS. And worth pointing out that Qualcomm was caught a while back with…
And these hearings are all for show without anything really substantial ever getting done, though we did learn about a fourth player in the market. And they have a substantial amount of cameras installed worldwide, and the hack they suffered…
A very interesting video on how Proton deals with law enforcement requests, along with what data is available if they meet the legal requirements. And if you trust them not to be an intelligence front, there isn’t a lot of…
Another good Flock ALPR story, and it just boggles my mind how officers think they can get away with this when it’s logged. Does this point to officers thinking they’re safe to do other misconduct? There certainly seems to be…
(Headline article below) The bugs being introduced into software does seem to be going up, and where is the testing of patches? And the disturbing thing is the inclusion of AI code and Rust into the Linux kernel. If custom…
There is a really alarming part of this report that I haven’t seen anywhere else, and it’s police officers who know Flock ALPR cameras misread characters, so when they enter in license plates for their alerts, they’re purposely putting in…
