📱 Unlocking and infecting a journalist's phone Serbian police used a Cellebrite device to unlock the mobile phone of a journalist, Slaviša Milanov, and then infect it with malware. This allowed access to his phone and the installation of surveillance software. Milanov was arrested in Pirot, Serbia, where police confiscated his phone, laptop and camera, claiming they only wanted to check his documents. However, after more than an hour, and without following clear legal procedures, officers used a Cellebrite device to extract data from his phone. Upon returning the phone to Milanov, he noticed odd things, such as mobile data and Wi-Fi being disabled, and apps draining excessive battery power. He used the Stay Free app to monitor the phone's usage, discovering that several apps had been active during the time his device was with police, suggesting malware had been installed. The Amnesty International report also mentions that, together with Google researchers, they discovered a vulnerability in a wide range of Android phones that Cellebrite was exploiting. This vulnerability has since been patched by Qualcomm, the affected chipmaker, and Google has remotely removed the spyware from infected devices. Cellebrite said it is investigating the allegations and is prepared to terminate relationships with any agency that has used its technology inappropriately. As reported by TechCrunch:

📱 Mozilla Firefox has removed the "Do Not Track" option The decision is based on the fact that many websites ignore this signal, rendering the feature ineffective in protecting users' privacy. Firefox since version 135 no longer displays the option to send a "Do Not Track" request in its privacy preferences. Instead, Mozilla recommends using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an alternative to prevent tracking, as GPC is more widely respected by websites and is backed by legislation in some regions. It's unclear how this transition will be handled for users who already have DNT enabled, but Mozilla has updated its support page to inform about these changes as reported by Windows report -Although it may seem like a negative thing, the "Do not track" option is something that was not only ignored by many pages, it also "marked" you for its little use, something to keep in mind when making this decision- https://windowsreport.com/mozilla-firefox-removes-do-not-track-feature-support-heres-what-it-means-for-your-privacy/

📱 More updates for the Pixel 6, 7 and Fold As we already know, Google Pixels can become the most secure and private devices in the world thanks to GrapheneOS. Well, we have good news, it turns out that the Pixel 6, 7 and Fold will receive 2 more years of operating system updates. These 2 generations were supposed to have 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates, but they have equalized them to 5 in both cases. Google itself claims that it will end 5 years after the device is released in the US. Something that will make getting a phone with GrapheneOS even more accessible, as they are becoming increasingly cheaper.

I am telling you Bitcoin education is still required. The real FOMO will start now after $100K. Many people will enter without having an understanding. #Bitcoin does not need investment it requires understanding.

You say: #OSINT, Internet, Big Data. Do you know how it all works under the hood? Honestly, very few people know. And the topic is very interesting. After all, only by understanding the full depth of the subject, from the basics to the highest level, can you become a true master of OSINT kung fu . With this post, I begin a large series about the Internet. How it works, what computer networks are and how it works in general. Today we will start with the very basics. The Internet before the Internet. How the idea itself was created, probably the most important infrastructure of our time. It all started at the end of the 19th century. One smart Belgian, you won’t believe it, lawyer Paul Otlet became disillusioned with his profession and took up librarianship (didn’t you know that a library is the grandmother of the Internet?). In 1892, this character began to criticize books in his essays! Books, Karl! For the fact that the factual information in them is not as it should be, but as the author’s left heel decided. Then he came up with the idea of ​​a card – a fragment of information that allows you to link the information in a document with other data. In 1895, he founded the International Institute of Bibliography, which later mutated into the International Federation of Information and Documentation. And then something incredible happened. Otlet created the world's first public search engine! It all started with his book "Monde". In it, he developed the concept of "Mundaneum" - a hypernet of knowledge. It was a centralized database containing cards with information, connected by links. His idea was to link documents and concepts in such a way that a person could easily move from one idea to another. The state threw him some money, gave him a building and staff as a starting point. And he created it! He created a huge catalog, "City of Knowledge", about literally everything in the world. And he began to accept requests for information searches via telegraph. This is a prototype of Google, powered by human horses . But nothing lasts forever under the moon. By 1934, the Belgian government had lost interest in the project, the building was being turned back, so applications had to be stopped. And then the Fritzes came to Belgium and everything got really bad. They didn't appreciate the search system and completely nullified everything that the Belgian government had already screwed up. Paul Otlet went broke and died in 1944. But, fortunately, he was not forgotten. In 1993, the Mundaneum museum was created in the city of Mons. They collected everything that was left, supplemented it with clippings and photographs, and put it on public display. That's how it is. The Internet on Earth began sadly, sadly. But in a few decades it will provide everyone with access to information. Paul Otlet would probably be happy that his idea changed the world forever and so radically!

The coin of freedom and sovereignty is now worth more than $100,000 Remember, there will come a time when they will say again that it is "dead" Congratulations to everyone who believes in the long-term vision, freedom and sovereignty. #Bitcoin

📌 Some more location protection The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken significant action against key companies in the location data industry, such as Gravy Analytics and its subsidiary Venntel, 404media reports . These companies, known for providing location data to US law enforcement agencies and surveillance apps, will now be barred from selling, disclosing or using sensitive location data. This includes information related to sensitive locations such as health clinics, military installations, religious centers, among others. The FTC is demanding the deletion of all historical location data and has stressed the importance of protecting consumer privacy from what it calls covert surveillance by data brokers. -One small step, not all is lost-
