@spamhaus @teamcymru @Shadowserver @INTERPOL_HQ interesting detail regarding operation ramz, pigbutchering slaves *from* asia.

“dismantling an investment scam operation in Jordan, where 15 trafficked workers from Asia were forced to run fraud schemes; two organizers were arrested”

DO NOT point a minimum 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It will not damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective.

Flock cameras DO NOT contain over a half ounce of easily recyclable silver. The camera, router, solar panel, and battery, WILL NOT fetch over $1000 on the secondary market.

Flock is purely for your safety with NO OTHER AGENDA.

Why are Signal, Apple, VPNs and the US Congress raising alarm bells about Canada’s lawful access plans? My post on the privacy and cybersecurity risks to Canadians with Bill C-22’s two-headed monster of metadata retention and new surveillance capabilities.

The list of those bailing on Canada if Bill C-22 passes in its current form is going to get very long.

⚠️ 🎣 We’re seeing an ongoing phishing campaign targeting hotels and hosts, impersonating messages from @bookingcom - see sample image below.

Here’s what we know so far⤵️

[Juno News @junonewscom]

Bill C-2 seeks to expand financial surveillance, allowing banks to freeze or flag accounts based on government suspicion without court orders.

It could permanently extend tools used during the Emergencies Act response to the Freedom Convoy.

C-2 also tables a cash ban over $10K.

Another day, another 🇬🇧 UK-based shell corporation utilized for nefarious purposes: UFO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, registered to the pictured address in Ipswich (which houses a co-working space) in February. Its director, 🇷🇺 Russian national Lenar I. Davletshin, is no stranger to cybercrime investigators; related internet infrastructure and corporate entities have repeatedly been linked to bulletproof hosting.

Particularly noteworthy is "Bearhost", a related, long-standing service offering, which shut down on May 9, 2025. ⤵️

🚨 BREAKING: Toronto Police just seized “SMS Blasters” fake cell towers never seen before in Canada.

These portable devices hijack thousands of phones at once, blast fake bank/Canada Post texts, and knock out real service (even 911 calls).

Tens of thousands of phones hit.

Over 13 MILLION disruptions.

Three men charged 🇨🇳
• Dafeng Lin, 27, of Hamilton
• Junmin Shi, 25, of Markham
• Weitong Hu, 21, of Markham

This is next-level cyber crime on our streets. Stay alert. Never click surprise links.

🚨PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI JUST WENT FULL NUCLEAR ON THE ENTIRE EU PRESS & PARLIAMENT! 🔥🧨

I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe. In the past two weeks I held TWO MAJOR press conferences — one in Stockholm, one in Berlin. Over 150 JOURNALISTS showed up. We spent MORE THAN TWO HOURS with them…
And guess what?
NOT ONE SINGLE of those 150 journalists asked about the 40,000 IRANIANS SLAUGHTERED on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th!

NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners EXECUTED in the last two weeks.

When I told them 20 more are currently sentenced to death — CRICKETS. Not a damn question.
I stood right next to a grieving mother and father who lost their sons in that massacre and begged them to listen to their stories…
NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 150 journalists asked them a thing.

Let that sink in.

My 40,000 BRAVE INNOCENT COMPATRIOTS who were butchered fighting for liberty? They don’t give a damn.

They are too busy criticizing America and Israel for taking out the dictator who’s been slaughtering our people for 47 YEARS — instead of going after the regime that’s actually doing the killing!
They’d rather dig up Iran’s history than talk about what’s happening RIGHT NOW or the free democratic Iran we’re fighting for.

One EU parliament member even had the nerve to say Iranians aren’t ready for democracy. To that coward and to every fake journalist in the room I say this:

Iranians aren’t just “ready” for democracy… 40,000 of them just DIED for it! And I will NOT let their blood be in vain.

SO HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR:

Whether Europe stands with us or not…
Whether your journalists do their damn jobs or not…
Whether your politicians grow a spine or not…
I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY.

Even if we have to do this ALONE — we are fighting until IRAN IS FREE! 🇮🇷💪

Over the past 48 hours there have been some very interesting developments...

The "@chartercomms" announcements for 47.1.0.0/16 and 47.2.0.0/16 have disappeared, implicitly confirming that they were hijacked.

The "@Orange" announcement for AS41128 has changed - the path is now:

90.98.0.0/15 AS41128 AS22541 AS29802

AS41128: @orange 🇫🇷
AS22541: MEGALINK S.R.L.🇧🇴
AS29802: @HIVELOCITY 🇺🇸

The entire network has relocated from Chicago to Dallas (likely to the Prime Dallas Campus DFW01 datacenter). Once more the inclusion of a South-American ISP appears completely unrealistic, with the traffic between the AS29802 router (de-cix[.]dfw[.]hivelocity[.]net) and the final destination seemingly within the Dallas datacenter.

But there's more....⬇️

Windows 11 has been secretly running a keylogger in the background

this whole time

and sending every keystroke to Microsoft servers.
Here's the fix they don't want you to know about

Win+R → regedit → HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\TIPC → Double click "Enabled" → Set value to 0 → Restart PC

Stop Microsoft from reading every word you type in Valorant chat, Discord, and Chrome.

[@mikko @mikko]

Windows 11 still has icons for Borland Turbo Pascal and WordPerfect.

Abuse doesn't stay contained on its own.

One compromised server becomes a scanning node. One scanning node finds ten more targets. Ten targets become a botnet.

The window between 'minor incident' and 'major problem' is smaller than you think.

Act fast or watch it spread.

[Oliver Prompts @oliviscusAI]

the cybersecurity industry is about to get completely disrupted.. 💀

someone just open-sourced a fully autonomous AI Red Team.

it’s called PentAGI. multiple AI agents that talk to each other to hack a target. zero human input.

i mapped the ENTIRE supply chain behind a single ChatGPT query

76 nodes in 13 countries with 10 layers, from a quartz mine in North Carolina to your chat window

so i built an interactive map where you can trace every path yourself

every time you type a prompt, you are touching brazilian sugarcane that turned into ABF varnish by Ajinomoto in Japan that used to package Nvidia GPUs in Taiwan

a single quartz mine in Spruce Pine NC that supplies the ENTIRE semiconductor industry with crucibles, no backup, one landslide and chip production stops globally

ASML in the Netherlands, the ONLY company on earth that makes EUV lithography machines, they need Zeiss mirrors polished to less than ONE ATOM of roughness, and TRUMPF lasers from Germany to power them

chinese germanium, ukrainian neon gas, chilean copper, australian iron ore

all flowing through TSMC fabs that print at 2 nanometers, thats 10 atoms wide

this is a PHYSICAL supply chain more fragile than most people realize

everyone debates which model is better

nobody talks about the quartz mine that all of them depend on
