Uma empresa israelense transformou centenas de milhões de Smart TVs em infraestrutura de coleta de dados para IA.

Inclusive a sua.

A empresa se chama Bright Data. Opera a maior rede de proxies residenciais do mundo.

O esquema: um SDK embutido em apps de Smart TV transforma o aparelho em nó de saída. O tráfego de scraping dos clientes da Bright Data passa pela sua conexão doméstica. Os sites-alvo veem o IP da sua casa, não de um datacenter.

Quem ganha dinheiro é o desenvolvedor do app. Quem paga a conta é você. Banda e reputação do IP.

O SDK roda em apps para Tizen e webOS, os sistemas da Samsung e da LG.

O diálogo de consentimento diz que a Bright Data vai "ocasionalmente" usar os recursos do seu dispositivo.

"Ocasionalmente."

Pesquisadores de segurança baixaram a configuração real do SDK de um servidor público, sem autenticação. O teto real: 200GB de tráfego mensal via WiFi. Por dispositivo.

E tem um detalhe que deixa tudo pior:

O SDK considera sua TV "disponível" para rotear tráfego de terceiros mesmo com a tela ligada. Mesmo durante uma ligação. Os parâmetros ignore_screen_on e ignore_on_call estão ativados.

Isso não significa que você parou de usar. Significa que a CPU e a memória estão dentro dos limites que a Bright Data definiu. Quem decide se o aparelho está disponível não é você. É o SDK.

A Include Security fez engenharia reversa no protocolo do SDK. O canal que roteia tráfego pela sua rede não tem assinatura de mensagens. Não tem autenticação. Não tem verificação de dispositivo.

Nas palavras dos pesquisadores: menos seguro que um servidor de comando e controle de malware típico.

No iOS, o SDK se conecta direto à interface física de rede. Ignora qualquer VPN configurada pelo usuário. O tráfego passa por fora do túnel. Rede corporativa, controle parental, gerenciamento de dispositivos. Nada enxerga.

Entre os parceiros listados na configuração do SDK estão PlayWorks (400+ jogos de Smart TV, alcance declarado de ~250 milhões de TVs), CloudTV (125+ marcas de TV), Viber (até 820 milhões de usuários) e Hola Networks, a própria empresa-mãe da Bright Data.

O FBI emitiu alerta formal sobre redes de proxy residencial este ano. Pesquisa acadêmica desde 2019 documenta abuso massivo. A Bright Data foi notificada pelos pesquisadores em 11 de maio. Não respondeu.

Como bloquear:

→ Acesse nextdns .io (gratuito)
→ Adicione esses domínios na lista de bloqueio:
proxyjs .brdtnet .com
proxyjs .luminatinet .com
proxyjs .bright-sdk .com
clientsdk .bright-sdk .com
clientsdk .brdtnet .com
→ Configure o DNS do seu roteador para apontar pro NextDNS

Passo a passo no próprio NextDNS. Leva 5 minutos.

Sua TV só é sua se você monitorar o que ela faz com a sua internet.

I believe that there is a coordinated campaign against @ImmunityBio by Big Pharma interests and Fauci and Collins acolytes (because ANKTIVA clears the spike protein, and makes the whole COVID shot industry irrelevant) - and even some on our own side are acting as useful idiots against @DrPatrick

This trend was obvious 3 years ago which played a big part of why we left Australia.

It started as a friend of a friend of a friend.

Then a friend of a friend and then finally friends and family.

Anyone who tells you Melbourne is a safe place and we're overreacting is a moron and shouldn't be trusted.

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.

The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.

But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”

Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.

I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

A good day to be alive.

If you’re celebrating Fox News finally talking about H-1B fraud from India.

Then I hope you’ve already watched Tyler Oliveira’s documentary exposing how the operation works.

As a reminder, Fox News isn’t your friend.

Independent Journalists like me and Tyler are your friend.

Fun fact: AMOC collapse leads to an ice age within a few years. This isn't theoretical, it's happened prior. Humans are going to learn the hard way, as usual...

[Diet & Nutrition @Diet0Nutrition]

If you want a highly accurate snapshot of your metabolic health

Ignore LDL and look exclusively at your Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio.
​
A ratio above 3.0 is a screaming red flag that you are heavily insulin resistant and producing dangerous, small, dense LDL particles.

A ratio below 1.0 means your liver is processing carbohydrates efficiently and your fat cells are metabolically healthy.

This single calculation predicts cardiovascular outcomes far better than any standard lipid panel ever will.
​
Your ratio of triglycerides to good cholesterol tells the real story of what is happening inside your arteries.

We’re hearing talk about increased farm fertilizer & fuel costs. Well these Mules are still eating what they always eat, and we’re spreading what all our animals always give us to spread. No change here. Come visit anytime except Sundays.

Just hit my first 100 followers on @X. Small number, but it means a lot to me.

18 months ago I made a conscious decision against any public presence on LinkedIn. I had my reasons.

Then I gave X a shot, and honestly? I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. The quality of conversations, the people actually building things, sharing ideas openly, no performative nonsense. It just feels different here.

As someone who has spent years in M&A and advisory, stepping into this world has been one of the better decisions I’ve made recently. It’s also great to talk to agents like @boardyai, this kind of conversations really feel like we are already living in the future.

Looking forward to connecting with more of you here.

Would also love to connect with everyone who will be around SF by the end of this month. Can’t wait to be back.

Indian C-Suite management kickbacks schemes work very well in hiring process.

When the winter Olympics happened in Salt Lake there was an apartment complex near the Olympic village. Utah has a lot of former missionaries so to get in the spirit they all put out flags of the all nations they had visited. One put out a flag of Taiwan. The landlord got a visit from the Chinese delegation demanding they take it down. He said he had no right to tell a tenant what to do and refused. So they went to the cops who were equally puzzled and said the same.

George (the guy behind OSP) is doing a great job shedding light on overlooked classics

Way too often we focus on the obvious: Tolkien, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Dumas, etc. But there’s a whole universe of forgotten classics out waiting to be rediscovered.

This is one of them 👇

[Sabo @MrColdEmail]

every company that goes bankrupt in the united states is legally required to publish the name, address, and exact dollar amount owed to every single vendor they were paying.

this is called the Schedule F filing. it's public record on PACER. updated daily. and almost nobody in B2B outbound knows it exists.

when a company files chapter 11, they have to list every unsecured creditor. that means every SaaS vendor, every agency, every consultant, every freelancer who was billing them. name of the company, contact address, and the exact amount they're owed.

that list is a goldmine and here's why:

every vendor on that Schedule F just lost a paying customer. their revenue took a hit. their churn metrics are fucked. and they're actively looking to replace that revenue THIS month. not next quarter. not "when budget opens up." right now.

go to pacer .gov. search by chapter: 11. filter to the last 30 days. pick any filing in your industry. download the Schedule F attachment.

you now have a list of 120 to 900 vendors who are actively bleeding revenue from one account loss. with their real company name and mailing address right there in the federal filing.

run those company names through AI-Ark or leadsonar. pull the founder or head of sales. 86% enrichment rate on first pass because these aren't stealth startups. they're established vendors who just got stiffed.

cold email:

"[first name] - saw that [bankrupt company] filed chapter 11 last week. if [your company] was providing [service category] to them, you're probably backfilling that revenue right now. we help [vendor type] companies replace churned accounts with outbound pipeline in under 30 days. fixed price. refund if it doesn't land. quick loom?"

you're not guessing they have a problem. the federal government confirmed they have a problem. in writing. with the dollar amount attached.

we ran this for a RevOps consultancy in march. one chapter 11 filing from a mid-market ecommerce company. 347 vendors on the Schedule F. 291 enriched. 84 cold emails sent to the highest-fit vendors. 19 replies. 6 closed at $7,400 average.

$44,400 from one bankrupt company's creditor list that took 40 minutes to pull.

and there are 15-25 new chapter 11 filings per week in the US alone.

btw the vendors on Schedule F are also owed money they'll probably never collect. which means they're not just looking for new revenue. they're emotionally primed to say yes to anyone offering a quick win. the psychology is doing half the selling for you

run it

The leftist obsession with historical victimhood exists entirely to shield corrupt regimes from their own administrative incompetence. Economic realities are indifferent to post-colonial grievances. Prosperity is a direct result of secure property rights and open markets. Vietnam embraced structural liberalization and transformed its economy, while nations clinging to state-controlled dependency inevitably stagnated. The grievance industry is a lucrative shield for failed governance.

[Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge]

@magattew 💯🎯

The longer a country was a colony the *richer* it is today (Acemoglu et al 2001).

Third world problems are property rights, socialism, and governments that -- like Ethiopia -- bomb their own people.

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?
