Senator Ron Wyden and Rep. Shontel Brown are calling for an investigation into the vulnerability of modern computers to what the NSA calls TEMPEST: spy techniques that pick up devices' accidental electromagnetic/radio/acoustic emissions to learn their secrets. www.wired.com/story/how-vu...

Trump wants Iranians to ‘take back their country' from the regime. Can they? To succeed in overthrowing the Iranian regime, an uprising would likely require a unifying leader, an effective organization, and the support of whatever remains of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

A Possible US Government iPhone-Hacking Toolkit Is Now in the Hands of Foreign Spies and Criminals A highly sophisticated set of iPhone hijacking techniques has likely infected tens of thousands of phones or more. Clues suggest it was originally built for the US government.

A full iOS exploitation toolkit, "Coruna," has been found in the wild, hacking iPhones that visited infected websites, used by Russian spies targeting Ukrainians and thieves targeting Chinese crypto holders. And it may have been originally created for the US government. www.wired.com/story/coruna...

The FBI Is Using AI to Hack Targets AI is a “game changer” for what the FBI calls remote access operations, an FBI official said in response to a 404 Media question on Tuesday.

New from 404 Media: the FBI is using AI to hack targets. FBI official was talking about "remote access operations," FBI's term for hacking. FBI said it's a "game changer". The comments were unusually candid about FBI's very secretive hacking operations. www.404media.co/the-fbi-is-u...

100+ Complaints From Troops Over 'Divine Plan' Rhetoric Service members allege commanders are framing Iran conflict as biblically ordained battle

Well this is disturbing. I for one am not in favor of Armageddon.

I'm reading a bunch of Coruna reports after dinner because I am a cool person who knows how to party. Of particular interest: not only does Coruna not work against iOS in lockdown mode, but if it even detects lockdown mode running, it bails. This is why I talk about lockdown mode so damn much.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 4, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 100 hours. Metrics show internet connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels as the regional conflict escalates.

The regime-imposed blackout is the second this year and follows the shutdown in January when thousands were killed.

Warnings to citizens to evacuate 3 days into this war, when airspace is closed, is a clear sign of ZERO strategy and planning by the Trump admin.

Now Americans have limited options to evacuate at an extremely dangerous moment with no government assistance. This admin is failing its citizens.

Google urges Supreme Court to strike down geofence warrants as unconstitutional In its amicus brief, Google called the warrants a violation of people’s rights and said that in recent months it has objected to more than 3,000 geofence warrants on constitutional grounds.

Google tells Supreme Court geofence warrants are unconstitutional. No court would authorize a physical search of hundreds of people or places, yet geofence warrants sometimes do so by design,” Google’s brief argued.
