The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...

A few months ago, ICE agents shot a TikToker. The govt then charged him, alleging he tried to ram agents Well guess what? Body-cam footage -- which the gov't delayed disclosing -- shows that's BS. The agent shot by mistake. And a judge just dismissed charges. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Nice catch by the researchers. github.com/sbaresearch/...

Woman has gone viral on TikTok by posing as the mother of a hungry baby (playing crying baby in the background) and phoning churches to ask for help to buy baby formula. And yeah, going roughly as you’d expect. www.tiktok.com/@nikalie.mon...

Microsoft is bringing people back to the office because their data shows "when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered.." anyone know how Microsoft measures empowerment? blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09...

I decided to test whether EXIF data is removed from images sent over X's new encrypted chat feature like Signal and other messengers do. I can confirm it is not. I was able to extract information including GPS coordinates from a test image sent to me.

Busy times at WhatsApp. Users have been notified and bugs patched. techcrunch.com/2025/08/29/w...

This is an old classic but worth viewing if you manage a security team. I've rewatched this a few times over the years. youtu.be/AukR16ARmfs?...

Switched back to a MacBook after leaving Microsoft. The battery life difference is just insane compared to any Surface I've had. I'm really enjoying not dragging a charger around.

How about 1 million dollars to pop WhatsApp? www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2025/7/...

"free for a limited time".. I really don't see users paying for AI browser features. I guess we will see. blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20...

strange thing about working at Meta is nobody uses email. I can go the entire day without opening my mail client which is just strange.

Welp its official, I'll be working on security for WhatsApp at Meta. A nice uninteresting target for attackers.. should be a breeze right?

Perplexity’s CEO said the company’s web browser is designed to track users across the web to build detailed profiles and sell hyper-personalized ads. The browser is to monitor browsing habits, shopping activity, travel and dining interests, and time spent on sites, etc.

Today is my last day at Microsoft. 10 years of browser and OS security work. I will certainly miss the people and the work. I'd like to think I improved things a little. Next up.. a nice long nap.

Nice to see some AI stats that don't seem hyped up. However if this is true, the high operational cost of AI (futurism.com/the-byte/ope...) will make it hard to make a profit. People are not going to pay crazy sums of money for a 20 minute time savings. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/uk...

In case you are wondering, this chart shows what U.S. carriers do if they receive a government surveillance request.
