BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris. The $LHX zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too. Unbelievable harm to our collective security. Scoop by @lorenzofb, here's why this matters 1/

BREAKING: It started with WhatsApp messages. They said they were students & tried to build rapport with Angolan journalist Teixeira Cândido. Then the links began arriving. Someone was trying to hack him with #Predator spyware. New bombshell investigation by @AmnestyTech 1/

Denmark changes Greenland’s name to Epstein Island so Trump will stop talking about it.

It’s important to remember that Trump genuinely believes, and was told repeatedly by Rubio, that Venezuela had a hand in manipulating voting machines to help Biden win in 2020. What Trump did today must be understood in the context of that paranoid lunacy.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

So, apparently the password for the video surveillance system at the Louvre (the most famous museum on earth) was… wait for it: Louvre. If that’s not bad enough, a 2014 security assessment determined that the Louvre network was: - Riddled with trivial passwords - Comprised of outdated systems - Camera feeds able to be manipulated - Badge access able to be modified Yikes. This sounds like a pentest I’ve done before. Well, fast forward to 2015. Thankfully, security posture has improved, right? Wrong. The 2015 security assessment encountered “software so old it should’ve been in a museum exhibit of its own.” Now, let’s fast forward to 2025. SURELY, security has gotten better by now, right? Wrong again. Apparently, much of that same infrastructure was/is still in use and wait for it…. running on Windows Server 2003. SMH. 🤦‍♂️ Full story here: vice.com/en/article/lou…

🧵What’s the biggest lie the surveillance industry tells? That they only sell to legal clients. That there are red lines. But what do these companies say when they think nobody is watching? We went undercover to find out

NEW: fresh trouble for mercenary spyware companies like NSO Group. @Apple launching substantial bounties on the zero-click exploits that feed the supply chain behind products like Pegasus & Paragon's Graphite. With bonuses, exploit developers can hit $5 million payouts. 1/

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germ…

This story is nonsense. It's just normal criminal enterprise for sending SMS spam and anonymous messages. Somebody used this service to send SMS threats to some politicians, so the Secret Service traced it back here. They are describing it as some special political threat ("35 mile radius from the UN") when it's just perfectly normal criminal enterprise. We know it's a crap story because to the way the New York Times story on this cites anonymous sources in the administration, and then James A. Lewis to confirm it. This guy, formerly of the CSIS think tank, is the the NYTimes regularly trots out to confirm cybersecurity claims by anonymous government officials. Ir's just normal crime folks, there's absolutely none of the threats here that they claim.
U.S. Secret Service@SecretService

The Secret Service dismantled a network of more than 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards in the New York-area that were capable of crippling telecom systems and carrying out anonymous telephonic attacks, disrupting the threat before world leaders arrived for the UN General Assembly. 📰 Read more about this at secretservice.gov/newsroom/relea…

Committee to Protect Journalists
Israel’s targeted strikes on two newspaper offices in Yemen’s capital, which killed 31 journalists and media support workers on Sept. 10, is the second deadliest single attack on the press ever recorded by CPJ, following the 2009 Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines. The attack signals that Israel’s deadly pattern of attacking reporters and newsrooms on the grounds that they publish “terrorist” propaganda has spread firmly across the Middle East.
