The Victorian Government is exploiting a terrorist attack to push anti-democratic laws that restrict speech, suppress protests, and force platforms to identify users. This is no way to fight terror.

AI browsers are unsafe by design.

Vendors admit prompt injection may never be solved.
These browsers read untrusted content and can act on it.

South Korea turns SIM cards into biometric checkpoints.

After years of data breaches, identity is already for sale.
The fix is facial verification, centralised at telecoms with a bad security record.

Two threat campaigns. One week. Same lesson.

A China-linked zero-day exploited Cisco AsyncOS email appliances.
Then a brute-force VPN flood hit exposed edge infrastructure.

Edge systems are still the soft underbelly.

Prosecutors ignored regulators who said no crime existed, hid evidence, threatened 25 years, then jailed two open-source devs for writing code that protected Bitcoin privacy. The US government are the real criminals.
