⚡️💬 NEW - Signal just rolled out a single verified Official Chat inside the app, taking direct aim at the impersonation scams the FBI and CISA have linked to Russian intelligence. The move follows months of warnings. US and German authorities spent early 2026 flagging fake "Signal Support" chats used to phish politicians, military personnel, and journalists, and Der Spiegel reported roughly 300 political accounts were compromised in Germany alone. New rule for anyone with sensitive chats: if a "Signal" chat has no verified badge, it is not Signal.

⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - The bill aimed at “establishing a presumption of self-defense for law enforcement officers”—criticized as a “license to kill” law—has been PASSED by the National Assembly. The bill stipulates that when a police officer or gendarme uses their weapon, the use of force will be presumed lawful and proportionate, unless the investigation reveals evidence to the contrary. It therefore does not eliminate judicial oversight, but reverses the burden of proof: it would be up to the prosecution to demonstrate that the use of force was not justified. The bill must now be reviewed by the Senate.

⚡️🇪🇺 NEW - The EU today introduced the new requirement for all new cars registered in Europe to have installed cameras filming the driver’s face. The system is called Advanced Driver Distraction Warning, ADDW, and is part of the EU’s General Safety Regulation. The camera tracks the driver’s gaze, head movements and attention. According to the regulations, the system must be active from 20 kilometers per hour. At lower speeds, it should be able to warn if the driver looks away for too long, while the requirements become stricter at higher speeds. The requirement does not yet mean any obligation to record the driver for the authorities. Critics warn that the technology could pave the way for more extensive monitoring and recording in the car once the cameras, sensors and software are installed.

⚡️‼️ BIG - New research shows you can copy any signed GitHub commit into a second one that looks identical, without the author's secret key, creating a distinct commit with an identical tree, identical metadata, a valid signature, and a "Verified" badge from GitHub. On GitHub, a green "Verified" badge is supposed to mean two things: a trusted author signed it, and its ID is a one-of-a-kind fingerprint for that exact code. A new Carnegie Mellon preprint from Jacob Ginesin says the second promise, the unique fingerprint, does not hold. Why it matters: security teams and package systems (behind tools like Go, Nix, and GitHub Actions) trust that ID as a unique handle for code. Block or pin the "bad" version, and an attacker can re-issue the same signed code under a fresh, still-verified ID that slips past. The author says Git and GitHub have not fixed it.
