Flok License Plate Surveillance
The company Flok is surveilling us as we drive:
A retired veteran named Lee Schmidt wanted to know how often Norfolk, Virginia’s 176 Flock Safety automated license-plate-reader cameras were tracking him. The answer, according to a U.S. District Court lawsuit filed in September, was more than four times a day, or 526 times from mid-February to early July. No, there’s no warrant out for Schmidt’s arrest, nor is there a warrant for Schmidt’s co-plaintiff, Crystal Arrington, whom the system tagged 849 times in roughly the same period.
You might think this sounds like it violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects American citizens...
AI-Enabled Influence Operation Against Iran
Citizen Lab has uncovered a coordinated AI-enabled influence operation against the Iranian government, probably conducted by Israel.
Key Findings
A coordinated network of more than 50 inauthentic X profiles is conducting an AI-enabled influence operation. The network, which we refer to as “PRISONBREAK,” is spreading narratives inciting Iranian audiences to revolt against the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the network was created in 2023, almost all of its activity was conducted starting in January 2025, and continues to the present day. The profiles’ activity appears to have been synchronized, at least in part, with the military campaign that the Israel Defense Forces conducted against...Purism Defends the Fourth Amendment in the Digital Age
A newly revealed WIRED investigation shows that the United States Government is creating a vast social media surveillance network, one that will operate around the clock and rely heavily on private contractors. Officials insist the system targets foreign nationals—but its scope and design make it inevitable that millions of Americans’ online activity will also be swept up. This is unconstitutional.

AI in the 2026 Midterm Elections
We are nearly one year out from the 2026 midterm elections, and it’s far too early to predict the outcomes. But it’s a safe bet that artificial intelligence technologies will once again be a major storyline.
The widespread fear that AI would be used to manipulate the 2024 U.S. election seems rather quaint in a year where the president posts AI-generated images of himself as the pope on official White House accounts. But AI is a lot more than an information manipulator. It’s also emerging as a politicized issue. Political first-movers are adopting the technology, and that’s opening a gap across...
Тайна самой дешевой консоли с Ozon
Наверняка многие читатели слышали о самой дешевой консоли на маркетплейсах — «Sup». На первый взгляд, это устройство — чудо чудное: цветной дисплей приличного разрешения, целых 500 игр в комплекте, аккумулятор и даже дополнительный геймпад, и всё это за какие-то 400 рублей в розницу.
Обычный человек просто подумает мол «очередной масс-маркет по типу Тетриса» и пройдет мимо. Однако моя гиковская душа очень хотела узнать, в чём же заключается тайна самой дешевой консоли на Озоне и я решил заглянуть «под капот»… Поверьте, внутри гораздо интереснее, чем кажется на первый взгляд!

Daniel Miessler on the AI Attack/Defense Balance
His conclusion:
Context wins
Basically whoever can see the most about the target, and can hold that picture in their mind the best, will be best at finding the vulnerabilities the fastest and taking advantage of them. Or, as the defender, applying patches or mitigations the fastest.
And if you’re on the inside you know what the applications do. You know what’s important and what isn’t. And you can use all that internal knowledge to fix things—hopefully before the baddies take advantage.
Summary and prediction
Attackers will have the advantage for 3-5 years. For less-advanced defender teams, this will take much longer. After that point, AI/SPQA...From the Browser to the Bloodstream
When a company collapses, its debts and assets are tallied, auctioned, and parceled out. But what happens when the “asset” in question is your very biology? That’s the question millions of 23andMe customers now face in the wake of the company’s bankruptcy.
