⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Howard Lutnick arrived with heavy security and a smug look on his face for his closed-door interview with lawmakers about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking network.
Lutnick went to Epstein Island, lied about it, and is now expected to get away with everything.
Lutnick will get away with an apology.

⚡🚨 NEW - Microsoft Edge keeps every saved password as plain readable text in its memory as soon as you open the browser. This includes passwords for websites you have not even visited yet.
Google Chrome only unlocks passwords when you actually need them.
A security researcher created a tool that shows how admins can easily copy passwords from other users’ Edge browsers on shared computers or work setups.
Microsoft says this is “by design.” But the browser still asks you to log in again, even while it holds all the passwords unprotected in memory. This creates real risks on shared devices. https://blossom.primal.net/80e5a6b2d583480f78a5fa76d7bdb0344a7051bb257a40ab7547cd1389056851.png

⚡️🇺🇸 WATCH - American bought her Mazda vehicle for over $30,000. It came with remote start, that was one of the features she really wanted
Now she’s trying to jailbreak her car because the feature has been disabled. Mazda now wants her to pay $10 per month to the remote start
“Are you f*cking kidding me? It's already installed in my car. You want me to now pay you a subscription on top of the $30,000 car that I bought from you? Make that make sense — I bought this car because I wanted push to start. I want it to be able to start my car when I'm not in my car.”
New buyers got a 3 year complimentary trial to use these advanced features. Now that her trial has ended, the Preferred Plan costs $10 per month, $120 per year, for full features including remote engine start and stop
I researched and believe she’s mistaken. The physical push-to-start button inside the car is free. It’s the remote engine start feature via the MyMazda app you just pay for
Still not acceptable. We need to ban making you pay for features in your own car

⚡🚨 NEW RESEARCH - Fiber-optic cables can be turned into a hidden microphone and used for eavesdropping.
Researchers from Hong Kong's PolyU and CUHK just proved it works in real conditions. The paper was presented at NDSS 2026, one of the top cybersecurity conferences in the world.
When someone talks in a room, the sound waves cause tiny vibrations in everything around them, including the thin glass fiber that runs into your apartment from your internet provider. Those vibrations slightly disturb the laser light traveling through the cable. If an attacker plugs the other end of that cable into a special device called a Distributed Acoustic Sensing system, they can read those tiny disturbances and turn them back into recognizable speech.
The problem for the attacker: a normal fiber lying along your baseboard is not sensitive enough on its own. Sound fades too fast in the air, and the fiber is too thin to pick it up.
So the researchers built a small device they call a "Sensory Receptor." It is basically a 65mm plastic cylinder with about 15 meters of fiber wound around it. The cylinder catches and amplifies sound waves enough for the fiber to register them. Crucially, it is small enough to hide inside the same little plastic junction box your internet installer leaves on the wall to manage extra cable.
What the attack can actually pick up:
🔴 Daily activities (typing, walking, snoring, washing dishes): 83% recognition accuracy
🔴 Where in the room a sound is coming from: accurate to within about one meter
🔴 Spoken words at meters from the receptor
🔴 In a real office test, with the receptor hidden in a fiber box and the attacker 50+ meters away in another room, around 80% of the conversation was recoverable
Why this attack is different from a hidden microphone:
🔴 No electricity, no batteries, no radio signals
🔴 Cannot be found by professional bug sweeps that look for hidden mics or cameras
🔴 Cannot be jammed by ultrasonic jammers (the kind some boardrooms use against phone microphones)
🔴 Looks identical to a normal fiber cable
The researchers tested a commercial ultrasonic jammer right next to their device and it had zero effect. The defenses meant to protect sensitive meetings simply do not see this attack coming.
What you can do:
🔴 If you run a sensitive office or meeting room, ask your IT team about polished fiber connectors and optical isolators. Both make this attack much harder.
🔴 Do not let your internet installer leave excess fiber coiled up inside the room. Have them coil it inside the wall or in a sealed box outside the room.
🔴 Keep fiber cable runs away from desks and walls that resonate with conversation.
🔴 In high-security spaces, soundproof the walls and ceilings where fiber runs. https://image.nostr.build/720cdfdba6247499333dd31ca6b879fdbcf4b8d67edde1850f2316a938b9b1af.png

⚡🇺🇸 NEW - American was driving a brand new 2026 car
The car gave her an alert that said it couldn’t see her eyes. The car then automatically disabled the gas and slowed down enough that it could have caused an accident
She had to lean toward so the car’s facial recognition could register her eyes and stop the “kill switch” because the car thought she might be asleep
“It was a 6 lane highway and all of a sudden the gas stopped working and I'm pressing on the gas. I can't get the car to go. So the car is dinging, it's making all this noise and I can't figure out what's going on. And I look at the dashboard and in English it says, sit up straight. We can't find your eyes.
Why? Why do you need to see my eyes? — when I sat upright, the gas would work once again. And so I pressed the gas, but I was slowing down enough that it was gonna cause a traffic hazard.
And the thing is, it knew I wasn't asleep because I was pressing on the gas. So it knew I was awake. It just wanted to see my eyes. So once I set upright and leaned forward, I guess it did facial recognition. And then it says, may I send you these results to a third party”
This is horrifying considering the new mandate to have kill switches in every new vehicle by 2027. It looks like it’s already happening but overseas, we’re just next
This technology can and will be abused by the government https://blossom.primal.net/9c46b2f1f74bfbd9f6bf9124823a0381de920b7920c77f6386d00b9619558960.mp4

⚡🇺🇸🚨 NEW - A new scam is taking place in America that allows scammers to get your phone number to get past 2-Factor Authentication
Scammers can then get access to your social media accounts, bank accounts and more
AT&T Employee “I work at AT&T and over the last couple days, I've witnessed multiple malicious port-outs, which means that a scammer has tricked your cell phone carrier into allowing them to port your number over into a device that they control, which in turn lets them do the two-factor authentication
Allowing them into your bank account, your email, your social media. A way to prevent this from happening, and this isn't just for AT&T, this is for any cell phone carrier that you have. Most of them have a port-out protection that you should turn on because this has been happening quite a bit lately. So just letting you know”
Again this could happen on any cell phone carrier you have.
I researched and found port-out protection is a free feature offered by major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Metro, and others

⚡️🚨🇺🇸 ALERT - Utah is about to become the first US state to legally target VPN use as part of online age verification. The law goes into effect Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
🔴 If you are physically located in Utah, you count as a Utah user, regardless of whether you use a VPN, proxy, or any other tool to disguise your location. Websites are now legally responsible for age-verifying you anyway.
🔴 Sites that handle "material harmful to minors" are banned from sharing instructions on how to use a VPN, or from offering any means to bypass geofencing.
The EFF calls this a "liability trap." Websites cannot reliably tell where a VPN user actually is, so the safest legal move is either to block every known VPN IP outright, or to force ID-based age verification on every visitor worldwide. Either path subjects millions of users to invasive identity checks, regardless of where they actually live.
The Cato Institute put it bluntly. When a policy can be defeated by a privacy tool millions of people legitimately use, the policy is the problem.
The collateral damage is, as always, the people who actually need VPNs:
🔴 Journalists protecting sources
🔴 Domestic abuse survivors hiding from stalkers
🔴 Activists in hostile environments
🔴 Remote workers tunneling into corporate networks
🔴 Travelers banking from abroad
🔴 Anyone who simply does not want their ISP, employer, or data brokers reading their traffic
This is not staying in Utah. The UK's Children's Commissioner has called VPNs a "loophole that needs closing." France's Minister Delegate for AI and Digital Affairs has named VPNs as "the next topic on my list."
The EU is rolling out age verification across all 27 member states by end of 2026, with EVP Henna Virkkunen openly admitting they have no plan for VPN bypass yet.
Utah is leading by example.
EFF: "Attacks on VPNs are, at their core, attacks on the tools that enable digital privacy."

Jonas Lauwiner has acquired more than 110,000 square meters of land for free.
According to The Times, Lauwiner has acquired 148 bits of land and 83 sections of road in Switzerland thanks to the loophole.
“I am fair. I don’t shut the roads and I do not charge much for them. [I make money] by selling the right to construct near my road and I sell the right of passage if there is a new house,” he said.
The 31 year old calls his “conquests” a “military campaign,” that are carried out digitally and “without bloodshed,” according to the outlet.
The loophole, under Swiss law, allows anyone to acquire land for free if it is registered as ownerless, by making a claim to the local council. https://blossom.primal.net/10d1c238bde9f89b635cd528a62e04712cef9fcc69ce402ff5e9d8c730d6dbc4.mp4

⚡🇬🇧 NEW - The UK government is considering new rules on social media for children under 16.
Some people in the House of Lords want a strict ban, saying it should start in 12 months, but the government wants more time and could take up to 3 years.
Australia introduced a ban for under-16s in December 2025, but it has not worked well. Surveys show more than 60% of teens aged 12 to 15 still use the main platforms.
A full ban would require age checks and ID verification for everyone online, and we know how many data breaches occur these days.
As I always said parental controls are a better way, the tools let parents set time limits, block certain apps or features and control children's activities. https://blossom.primal.net/d6183fd8986d64678755d546d045e1758a169f63d4163d6c3c746b7d1911b9b0.png

⚡🚨 TECH - cPanel and WHM, the control panels behind an estimated 70+ million websites, have a critical security flaw that lets anyone become root admin without a password. CVE-2026-41940 affects every supported version. It’s already being exploited in the wild.
watchTowr Labs published the full attack today, after the hosting company KnownHost confirmed the bug was already being used to break into a significant chunk of the internet.
If you've never heard of cPanel: it's the dashboard that hosting providers and millions of website owners use to manage their servers, domains, email accounts, databases, and SSL certificates. WHM is the admin version that controls the entire server. If someone gets root access to WHM, they get the keys to the kingdom and to every apartment inside it.
How the attack works, in plain English:
🔴 Step 1: The attacker sends a deliberately wrong login. cPanel still creates a temporary "you tried to log in" record on disk and gives the attacker a cookie tied to it.
🔴 Step 2: The attacker tweaks the cookie to disable cPanel's password encryption. Normally cPanel encrypts the password field on disk. With one small change to the cookie, cPanel just stores it as plain text instead.
🔴 Step 3: The attacker sends a fake login attempt where the password field secretly contains hidden line breaks. cPanel does not strip these line breaks out, so they get written straight to the session file. Each line break creates a brand new fake record. The attacker uses this to inject lines that say "this user is root" and "this user already authenticated successfully."
🔴 Step 4: The attacker visits one more random page on the site to nudge cPanel into re-reading the file. cPanel then promotes the injected fake lines into its main session memory.
🔴 Step 5: On the next request, cPanel sees a flag that says "this user already passed the password check." cPanel trusts that flag, skips checking the actual password, and lets the attacker in as root.
From start to finish, the attack takes a handful of HTTP requests.
If you run cPanel or WHM, the patched versions are:
🔴 cPanel/WHM 110.0.x → 11.110.0.97
🔴 cPanel/WHM 118.0.x → 11.118.0.63
🔴 cPanel/WHM 126.0.x → 11.126.0.54
🔴 cPanel/WHM 132.0.x → 11.132.0.29
🔴 cPanel/WHM 134.0.x → 11.134.0.20
🔴 cPanel/WHM 136.0.x → 11.136.0.5
If your version is older than these, assume someone has already broken in and act accordingly. Patch right now, then rotate every password and key the server touched: root passwords, API tokens, SSL private keys, SSH keys, mail passwords, and database passwords. https://blossom.primal.net/aeb3305410a33e622678cbc21ecc620f03bfc8bedf5ecb2520caf5291e7ed2da.jpg

⚡🇺🇸 NEW - ‘Muslim City’ in Texas gets legal win after a judge ordered that the state must comply with developers.
The East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC), which has now been rebranded to The Meadow, will feature 1,000 homes, a mosque, schools, and more.
Texas leaders are worried that project leaders will begin imposing Sharia law.
Developers were just awarded a win when a Travis County Judge ordered that Texas state agency, Texas Workforce Commission, must comply with the agreed upon terms with the developer.
The Texas Workforce Commission had argued that the project was under investigation.
“This development remains under active investigation with our federal partners at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We are taking immediate steps to appeal this decision,” the agency said. https://blossom.primal.net/9210c36162393fcf6f946aa34d29c7fef9b972d1e8c95169b85126e3e5a18120.mp4

⚡🚨 NEW - A newly discovered security vulnerability known as Copy Fail, or CVE-2026-31431, has been disclosed in the Linux kernel.
It affects virtually every major Linux distribution released since 2017.
The flaw sits in the kernel’s cryptographic subsystem and stems from a logic error introduced back in 2017:
- It allows any local user without special privileges to escalate directly to root.
- The exploit is unusually simple: a short Python script can reliably achieve this by modifying data only in the system’s memory cache rather than on disk.
- In practice, an attacker can target any readable file, such as a setuid-root binary like sudo or su, and alter it only in RAM.
- The change is invisible to file integrity monitors and leaves no trace on the hard drive.
- The same technique also works from inside containers, potentially allowing an escape from Docker, Kubernetes, or similar environments to compromise the host server.
- This makes Copy Fail both stealthy and highly portable across systems.
Patches have already begun rolling out from major distributors. System administrators should apply the latest kernel updates and reboot as soon as possible. https://blossom.primal.net/0de1348838cb232017a667b41f1e4a9def786bcf335747260514f15bd71d1ba7.jpg
