NEW: Meet the folks at AccessNow's Digital Security Helpline, who have been investigating government spyware abuses for more than a decade, helping journalists and dissidents all over the world.
Hassen Selmi, who heads the incident response team, told me his team looks into around 1,000 cases a year. Half of those turn into full investigations, and around 25 result in confirmed spyware infections.
Here’s how Selmi’s team fights spyware abuses.

Stanotte ho pensato di recuperare un tavolo che mi gira per l'officina, ma ho scoperto di averne DUE!
Uno da 70×120 cm e uno da 60×100 cm, entrambi spessi 30 mm (il piccolo è un tamburato Ikea, il grande un truciolato Aiazzone-like con rotaie per cassetti)..
Quindi metterò le zampe in modo che il piano piccolo faccia da ripiano sotto a quello grande (il contrario sarebbe complicato), intanto non è un tavolo per sedersi.
Domani smonterò una cosa che ho in cortile per recuperare le zampe.
I think this is called a robbery.

1. I've watched it carefully three times since yesterday.
I had been waiting for it for two years. And it did not disappoint me
the film #CoverUp by #LauraPoitras and #MarkObenhaus is a MUST-SEE: an exceptional #SeymourHersh.
Remarkable, as the British would say.
2. What struck me in particular:
- the complicity of the media and public opinion in the heinous crimes of what I call #SecretPower (the military-industrial complex,secret services, diplomacy)

1. ho aspettato di guardarlo attentantamente 3 volte da ieri.
Lo aspettavo da 2 anni. E non mi ha deluso: il film #CoverUp di #LauraPoitras e #MarkObenhaus è ASSOLUTAMENTE da guardare: un #SeymourHersh eccezionale.
Remarkable, direbbero gli inglesi
2. che cosa mi ha colpito in modo particolare:
- la complicità dell'informazione e dell'opinione pubblica nei crimini efferati di quello che io chiamo il #PotereSegreto (il complesso militare-industriale,gli apparati dello Stato,dai servizi segreti alla diplomazia)
Led by Mubinul Hoque, free hot meals were offered to NHS staff, carers, key workers, older residents and anyone spending the day by themselves. No conditions, no publicity stunt, just warmth, generosity and time for a chat when it mattered most.

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojj…

#Europe businesses seem to have finally reckoned the risks of having critical supply chain dependencies on emotionally unstable US BigTech bosses and rather weird US laws..
Any private contract between a European customer and a US cloud provider is ultimately subordinate to US federal law. A warrant issued under the CLOUD Act legally compels an American company to hand over data, overriding any contractual commitments of data residency or privacy.Furthermore, these warrants often come with a gag order, legally prohibiting the provider from informing their customer that their data has been accessed. This renders any contractual clauses requiring transparency or notification effectively meaningless.

🐱 New Blog Post: Petlibro Smart Pet Feeder Vulnerabilities (Partially Fixed, $500)
Found critical vulns in Petlibro - one of the biggest smart pet feeder companies:
- Auth bypass via broken OAuth - just need Google ID (public info via Google APIs) to login as anyone
- Access any pet's data, devices, serial numbers, MAC addresses
- Hijack any device - change feeding schedules, access cameras
- Access private audio recordings (mealtime messages to pets)
- Add yourself as shared owner to any device
The worst part? They "fixed" the auth bypass by making a new endpoint... but left the old vulnerable one active for "legacy compatibility." Two months later, still working.
Also tried to get me to sign an NDA AFTER paying the bounty. That's not how contracts work.

Sabem o que é isso?
É a evolução farmacológica do tratamento da obesidade.
Antes considerada preguiça ou escolha, como se alguém escolhesse pesar 200kg, hoje a obesidade é reconhecida como uma doença de base e causadora de várias outras doenças.
Depois de décadas de testes e fracassos, com substâncias que agiam apenas de forma central, descobriu-se que alguns hormônios produzidos no intestino poderiam auxiliar nesse tipo de tratamento.
Farei um vídeo explicando isso.

Here are the approximate driving distances to some European capitals:
About 1200-1600 km:

Bucharest (Romania): ~950-1100 km
