An Israeli spyware firm, Paragon Solutions, accidentally exposed its secretive Graphite control panel in a LinkedIn post.

The screenshot revealed a dashboard displaying a Czech phone number labeled “Valentina,” active interception logs from February 10, 2026, and interfaces for monitoring encrypted apps like WhatsApp via zero-click exploits.

Tesla exec tells Congress ‘no one has ever’ taken control of its vehicles — but that’s not true

Tesla Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy told a Senate committee this week that no one has ever remotely taken control of Tesla vehicles. That claim doesn’t hold up to the facts of history.

In fact, a single hacker once gained control of Tesla’s entire fleet.

@signalapp Signal IMO has bad security because when someone decides they are not interested in an overpriced, underperforming service of "phone number" and stops using their SIM, they cannot deregister the number from Signal and the new owner of the number either can hijack their Signal account, or people may be blocked from using newly purchased SIMs with Signal.

Also, authoritarian regimes IMO can temporarily transfer a number into a provider's internal SIM in order to hijack a Signal account and impersonate a dissident against another dissident, facilitating abduction, torture and murder.

I feel

c o n t e m p t

towards Signal when it is designed this way.

This #PlayIntegrity stuff is really questionable. My banking app won't run on a #GoogleFree #LineageOS running #Android 16 with all the latest security updates. But a #GooglePlay device running Android 10 that was last updated in 2021 is approved. This is not a real #security check. This looks like a #gatekeeper #monopoly check.

Another tech co-op? Yes, but this is a little different. Privacy and security? Sure - though it's not just about your privacy and security, but everyone's (after all, none are free until all are free). There are alternative browsers led by people not friendly to the #LGBTQ+ community, there are sustainable computer companies with ties to hate speech. This isn't about that. This is about promoting alternatives to #BigTech at the intersection of #privacy #security #sustainability and #inclusivity.
