Be aware that someone's apparently impersonating me online. I only write on this account, and I won't contact you for any reason whatsoever as I've completely disengaged from this space, don't use X nor generally talk to people online since 2023.

Interesting, the timelines fit what I've recovered. My iPhone had spyware installed in mid-to-late -23, and then again in -24 it seems. Initially it was re-activated by sending images (didn't survive reboots) My mother's iPhone had spyware installed in late 2025. Both survive updates/reboots now, and lockdown mode has no effect on the latest iOS. Keyloggers on certain keyboards. Both times our security cameras were targeted, first some average wifi ones, later the DMZ'd LAN-only ones I replaced them with. Other devices were compromised through physical access. The SD card containing the bootloader to a fairly locked down router I replaced the compromised APs with went missing from the device a couple of days after I installed it (which controlled the new DMZ'd LAN security cams) What's curious about it is that there's no actual ingenuity, it seems to be entirely MITM/supply chain/physical access using tooling not made by the attacker. I monitored the attacker briefly and I sincerely doubt they discovered any of the vulnerabilities they're exploiting.

Security findings (1/2): Compromised AP's were set up to intercept traffic and route traffic out, iPhones (latest iOS) had spyware, passive audio/video recording, hidden memory cards found in devices (like inside a printer). Essentially looks like infrastructure to frame people.

@lcfr_eth Yep, I started collecting logs/data dumps/rpms from [most] devices before/after. For the APs I mentioned that they were compromised in conversation, 8 min later they predictably connected in from an AWS US-East tunnel and tried (really badly) to destroy evidence. And much more.

@Cthulu_dot_eth Btw I wasn't suggesting they (ens) were responsible but possibly someone trying to target ens / associates to get the treasury funds etc Do you have any forensic reports of any devices?

@lcfr_eth Right, but MITMing a TLS1.3 connection at ISP-level isn't typical. I'm on Starlink, clean install/no router. Haven't had crypto since -23. Police suggested it being related to previous employment also. I refused to sign an NDA when I quit which stirred the pot a bit. I'm unsure.

everything except the iphone stuff sounds standard for some persistent pwnage.. pwn access points, MITM the repos or install backdoored repos in the yum files which pulls from an attackers infrastructure to push further in. i dont understand the hidden memory cards etc if this is happening to/around you IRL ... i'd suggest you gtfo of where you are .. For the iphone stuff you maybe read about the Coruna exploit chains that leaked and have been used to target crypto people? you might fall under that risk threat from your association with ENS or something? (attackers targetting anyone in proximity to the target is common as well)

Security findings (2/2): After APs were removed, new devices were compromised through malicious packages: openssl,openssl-libs,libvirt from the Red Hat repo but which failed package signature checks (meaning they were not from Red Hat) Unusual packet TTL traced back to the ISP.

@LinusEkenstam This proves that AI generates next-level acting performances

Never seen a more blatant use of AI in filmmaking. Flamboyant. Horrid. Humans don't talk or act like this.

2026 has been a security disaster so far. 2 Wi-Fi AP's compromised (for 1.5+ years!) with an encrypted tunnel, cloud instance & replacement router compromised. SD cards going missing. Time to brush up on security I guess

X is like reading transcripts of what occurred between drunk people at a bar at 3AM.

Bertrand Russel's Message to Future Generations (1959)

... in this period of chaos and anarchy. It is necessary for this hatred within the culture to be directed outward toward an external group. so that the culture itself may survive its crisis. War is the result." (3/3) -- From the short story 'The Defenders' by Philip K. Dick

"Human cultures pass through phases, each culture in its own time, as the culture ages and begins to lose its objectives, conflict arises within it between those who wish to cast it off and set up a new culture pattern and those who wish to retain the old... (1/3)

... with as little change as possible. At this point a great danger appears, the conflict within threatens to engulf the society in self-war, group against group, the vital traditions may be lost, not merely altered or reformed, but completely destroyed... (2/3)

In reading Henry Ford's 'Today and Tomorrow', it struck me as interesting that arguments for and against AI and automation closely mirror those from the industrial revolution, where people feared that advanced machinery would lead to widespread unemployment.

Hey folks, give OpenBSD a chance and start using OpenBSD in your critical infrastructures from now on. I'll definitely be turning one of my laptops into an OpenBSD computer. Fuck the xz backdoor. openbsd.org

@Krikkraktrak What's going on? 😟

This space is very brutal and disheartening people to build something for greater good. Have been very cautious about my actions and always tried to do the things with integrity. Full of sorrow today , really need to take a deep breath and decide if it worths all efforts.
