⚡️NEW CONTENT: Own Your Router with Open-Source Firmware Earlier this month, the FCC banned all new foreign-made routers. A National Security determination warned that compromised routers "can enable in-depth network surveillance, data exfiltration, botnet attacks, and unauthorized access to U.S. government or American businesses’ networks.". A little funny considering that most people in the U.S rent routers that behave similarly. Internet service providers encourage customers to use their routers, which are locked down with proprietary firmware. This enables them to monitor your internet usage, open up your network as a public hotspot, or use WiFi sensing to detect who's in your house. It seems we already have enough to worry about at home, and lots of reasons to own our routers. I had the pleasure of chatting with Daniel — an experienced open‑source networking engineer. Regaled by his deep knowledge of Wi‑Fi firmware, open‑source router projects, and mesh networks I asked him for a short interview. The interview will dive into the future of open‑source networking, practical advice for home‑router users, and the changes he believes are needed to give users more control over their own connectivity. tbot.substack.com/p/own-your-rou…

How Pegasus Spyware Was Uncovered Pegasus was first caught in the wild back in 2016. Citizen Lab and Amnesty International exposed it used at a massive scale, targeting thousands of people across dozens of countries. Even though Pegasus is stealthy, it can be detected. These digital mercenaries aren’t invincible! Let’s stay informed and vigilant. 🪧 Watch the full webinar: above.sh/yf6RUX

Face recognition is not a future threat. It is procurement. CBP just gave Clearview AI a new contract that kicks in September 2026. A border officer can take your photo and match it to what you posted online. If you think your selfies are harmless, think again. Read the full article: above.sh/E5tp68

The Ring x Flock integration died after Super Bowl backlash, but do not confuse a cancelled partnership with a cancelled agenda. The product vision is still obvious. Consumer cameras plus police networks equals a surveillance web. The only thing that stopped it was public heat. Read the full article: above.sh/RDyTTK

A Unique Look at Russia’s Biometric ID Web I was recently on Corbett Report’s #SolutionsWatch and we dug into how Russia’s new online age verification is really a whole web of state-controlled biometrics. Instead of a simple app, they’ve pieced together a “Gosuslugi” system that’s a public-private mashup, layering bank-collected biometrics into a national database.
