  1. There's an insane number of IMSI catchers in Taipei. I get GrapheneOS pings almost daily.

    Anyone know what this is about? News mentions SIM card fraud.

  2. My Rayhunter is live! All clear, so far. We'll see if it finds anything at this weekend's festivities. 🤔

    This was pretty painless to get going (<$50 hardware, <5min setup).

  3. Exclusive: Fake cellphone tower may have surveilled protesters at Portland ICE facility

    SAN analyzed cellular signals outside the #Portland ICE facility last weekend as President Donald Trump attempted to deploy National Guard troops to a city he described as “war-ravaged.”

    SAN analyzed signals using a device called Marlin. The scans detected over half a dozen IMSI-exposure ratios above 10%, and three separate 18% spikes in just a one-hour window — significantly higher than what the Marlin developers ever registered under normal conditions.

    Away from the building, that percentage began to drop. At a hotel 3/10s of a mile away, percentages hovered around 1% to 4% with occasional spikes as high as 9% over a roughly two-hour period.

    In SAN’s extensive use of #Marlin over the past four months, the only other time an IMSI-exposure ratio was detected was outside an #ICE facility in Washington state.

  4. Smoke Bomb

    With a flurry of motion along its pectoral fin, a sting ray lifts the sand nearby and disappears into the turbid cloud. This tactic helps the animal both hide and escape. In a similar move, sting rays and other bottom-dwelling fish can bury themselves in sand.(Image credit: Y. Coll/OPOTY; via Colossal)

  6. Secret Phone #Surveillance Tech Was Likely Deployed at 2024 #DNC

    Data WIRED collected during the 2024 #DemocraticNationalConvention strongly suggests the use of a cell-site simulator, a controversial #spy device that intercepts sensitive data from every phone in its range.

  7. America's sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette, was introduced 70 years ago today. Now in its eighth generation, this car is an undeniable American favorite.

  8. Interessant ist das hier im Oman keine großen Fischfänger unterwegs sind, sondern nur kl. Fischerboote. Oft wird das Netz auch nur in Strandnähe ausgebracht und vom Land eingeholt. Versehendlich gefangene Rochen, Schildkröten werden sofort wieder ins Meer zurückgebracht.
