**The Dark Side of Technology: A Roundup of Cybersecurity Concerns**

In today's digital age, it's easy to get complacent about our online security. But the truth is, there are countless ways for hackers and spies to infiltrate our devices and exploit our personal data. Let's take a look at some of the latest cybersecurity concerns that will keep you on your toes.

**Phone Hacking: A Weak Link in Our Security**

According to a cyber watchdog, Ukrainian officials' phones have been targeted by hackers using Pegasus software. This is not an isolated incident; five different people have had their phones compromised. The question on everyone's mind is: who could be responsible? It's likely that it's a combination of both Russia and the United States, given the tensions between the two nations. This highlights the importance of secure communication methods, such as encrypted messaging apps like Signal.

**Telegram's Data Breach: A Cautionary Tale**

Telegram, a popular messaging app, has been accused of sharing user data with authorities despite its claims to be secure. The app reportedly surrendered user data to German authorities in a child predator case, raising concerns about the company's commitment to user privacy. This incident serves as a reminder that even seemingly secure apps can have vulnerabilities.

**Microsoft's Zero-Day Flaw: A Growing Concern**

Microsoft has another big flaw on its hands, and it's not being taken seriously quickly enough. The company has an actively exploited zero-day flaw that still lacks a patch. This means that users who are connected to the internet may be vulnerable to attacks without even realizing it. We urge everyone to take this threat seriously and read more about how to mitigate the risks.

**The Spying Light Bulb: A Novel but Ineffective Tool**

In a bizarre incident, hackers managed to spy on individuals using a light bulb as a transmitter. This hack relies on the light bulb's temperature changes to create a unique signal that can be used to identify and track smartphones. While this may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, it highlights the importance of securing even the most seemingly innocuous devices.

**Bluetooth Signals: A Tracking Tool**

In a frightening discovery, retailers in malls have been using Bluetooth signals to track customers' purchases. This raises serious concerns about data privacy and security. Even with the latest versions of Mac OS, which randomize the MAC address to thwart this type of tracking, the noise on the Bluetooth chip can be used to identify individuals. This means that even when we think we're being careful online, our devices may still be vulnerable.

**The NHS Expansion: A National Health Service in Jeopardy**

In a shocking revelation, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is introducing new technology into school systems. The company behind this initiative, Planetary, aims to expand its reach into the NHS but has raised concerns about data privacy and security. Given Planetary's history of collecting biometric data from individuals, there are legitimate fears that their involvement with the NHS could lead to a mass collection of sensitive information.

**Business News: A Mixed Bag**

As we approach the quarter rollover on June 1st, businesses will be looking to capitalize on new opportunities and navigate challenging economic conditions. With a mix of exciting announcements and concerns about data security, it's clear that this is going to be an interesting quarter for business news.

**Closing Thoughts**

In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity threats are more prevalent than ever. From phone hacking to data breaches and zero-day flaws, there are countless ways for hackers to exploit our devices and personal data. It's essential that we stay vigilant and take steps to protect ourselves online, from using secure communication methods to being aware of the latest security concerns. By staying informed and taking action, we can reduce the risk of falling victim to these cyber threats.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's the 14th and we're gonna do government security and i'm filling in for krista because she's up to things did we learn what i don't know if we did well there's nothing we can do about that and there's probably nothing we can do about this as we've learned so recently the government has learned that spying that takes resources you have to spend a lot of money on that you can spend comparatively less money amazingly just buying the data because all the corporations are already spying on us hey ice that's immigration's accustomed search lexisnexis over a million times in just seven months but you don't understand lexisnexis started life as a legal database but lexisnexis has purchased millions of records ten hundreds of millions of records from commercial databases so things like your bill payment history are in lexisnexis and they can prepare a report for that so this is a fairly detailed article that talks about the number of requests and there were also a couple hundred thousand detailed reports one individual did 26 000 searches in a month which is you know how do you do that that's like a thousand searches a day and because it is a service there's no oversight there you don't need any reason to search somebody on lexisnexis you just do whatever you want you don't need a warrant you can just be like hey let's cause trouble for this guy that does my yard and apparently lexisnexis is so good that in those searches it can pick up the people around you as well like your neighbors even yeah because the database has your geo-location stuff if that leaked and it's like hey this person is near you a lot they must live nearby and probably one of the big reasons for them to go to the buy it instead of spy on it mentality is because of the bureaucracy it actually is very hard to violate someone's fourth amendment rights that kind of how it was designed right well the the bureaucracy sometimes protects us although not often as we've just seen but other ways it just slows us down the pentagon's new ai and data chief says let me just say honestly that the bureaucracy is real although i mean if this is like facial recognition and that kind of stuff it might be good right you dig into this article and it's not really that the bureaucracy is real it's that if you want if the government wants to have this it's going to come from raytheon or general electric or one of the incumbents it's it's really hard for the bureaucracy to accept new contractors i mean clearview is working real hard to get in there and the bureaucracy is real there but there's not really as much of a bureaucracy on the fourth amendment side as there is just on the procedural procurement side so they've got pointed out that he's been in the job for every how long he still doesn't have a security card he still goes through the visitor entrance when it comes to work because that's just obviously how that works just that who's gonna get that done i don't know and uh you might think that it's such a dysfunctional group probably shouldn't be in charge of even more things but not only are they getting more and more in charge of things they want to reach outside the borders as usual the u.s department of justice calls for more international cooperation and enforcement on crypto law enforcement so it's anti-money laundering it's tracking you know germany the united kingdom several other eu states are interested in this kind of thing so of course they're going to cooperate and leave it to the department of justice to say here is the framework that we are going to use for cooperation this is what you need to be doing okay and in fact they are looking very closely at the cryptocurrency world they might feel that it's a bit of a threat to them and they really don't like when people do things outside of their view the sec is investigating binance's bnb token according to this report so you know this is uh a security token but not really i i this we covered this didn't when the first time we covered this didn't we basically refer to this as a glorified timeshare yeah they did some weird things with it that weren't pure crypto and so the sec is saying hey this looks like a security test looks like you're selling stocks the sec has been doing that a lot lately you think maybe that's to draw attention away from other things they've got going on because they didn't care for a few years well they care when the wrong people do it again when it's outside of their control they care when it's done there on their market system totally cool and solar panels boy uh with the big heat wave that's coming up and you know the grid issues seems like a good idea to blanket as much of the earth as we can in solar panels because that's basically the only only energy that's still legal right yeah so there's a problem with that because of china biden orders emergency steps to boost u.s solar production it turns out we don't make a lot of the ingredients that go into solar panels here because it's really pretty bad for the environment it's made in china what you can't say that this is clean energy so they're talking about removing the tariff but the reason we have the tariff in the first place is because a lot of people were afraid that china would dump a bunch of garbage solar panels into the united states to get rid of them which kinda was happening so now we're gonna go back to that i guess seems like this would be a good entrepreneurial opportunity but then you don't have any opportunity to actually generate that industry in america because a lot of the underpinning that you would need to produce solar panels isn't there because of other regulations yeah you would be buried in regulatory red tape and that to pay those workers and to find those workers how you can do that can we just annex mexico and make that at the no environment zone and just do all the production down there i don't think that's uh i don't think that would go over me was that out loud sorry that's i get that feeling reading some of this sometimes it's like these politicians are like you know we can't just do this in another country why don't we you know oh right let's take to canada i know canada is too pretty yeah it'll take us forever to destroy that that was one of the funny things in the pentavert mike myers movies like when they got out of canada they changed all the filters on the cameras and then the characters commented on that they were like that's weird uh because you know mexico is always brown in movies and another industry that seems to be pretty good at avoiding the regulatory loopholes or carving new ones whenever they need to might be losing some of their luster because maybe finally senate antitrust vote likely to pass legislation targeting apple and other tech giants man you know i was reading this and uh the only thing i could think about was the other story in business where apple is going to get into personal finance and a whole bunch of other things and oh boy that does look pretty insane yeah yeah apple in charge of the money of course that's been coming for a long time apple was smart enough to ease it in whereas zuckerberg just tried to go in all at once and got smackdown that's not how that was he was a noob he didn't know how it works you understand lobbying yet a lot of the senators and stuff though are saying that tech controls too much of our stuff and blah blah blah and you know everything is on fire and it's all technology's fault and i found a lot of their arguments disingenuous but it probably does need attention but people there is an addiction here right yeah like obviously fighting addiction in that way doesn't work as we have so much the drug war has taught us that but is antitrust i don't know maybe if antitrust knocks them down and lets a bunch of smaller companies pop up maybe that's good the competition i don't know there's so much other stuff that's already it's like we're already three quarters of the way in regulatory capture and now we're speaking about antitrust it's like we should have been doing not regulatory capture for the last 10 years if now we're going to talk about antitrust it really just seems like a cudgel used to try to get what politicians want out of tech companies and there's an election coming yeah looks really good before the election well i can't imagine what the supreme court is thinking here because i'm when i'm thinking about whose opinion i would ask on technology i'm imagining that list could you think of very many people you would put below this man i no i mean at first it's like is this a meeting on technology and then you dig into it and it's like well it's not really what they're asking for but there's zero chance that he understands encryption there's zero chance that he understands the nuance here the reuters reports the us supreme court seeks biden views on whatsapp pegasus spyware dispute so the whatsapp part of the headline here's a little bit of a red herring i'm not sure that the reuters people even understood what they were writing about but to recap a lot of that yeah more and more to recap i mean what would how would you what would you do the 60-second summary in the pegasus stuff that we've covered pegasus mainly targets apple devices but there is an android version well pegasus claims that it's only used for bad people but we have seen overwhelming evidence that even if they only sell it in that way it doesn't it's not contained yeah so it gets to uh activists reporters exactly who you would expect to protect from this kind of thing historically it has been borderline undetectable malware on an iphone that will survive resets and reinstalls and apple in my opinion is not doing enough to really deal with it but in this case u s citizens were targeted by foreign governments so the question before the supreme court is does that make the nso group the people that are responsible for pegasus liable like that's the opinion they want from the biden administration because it's like well technically that's outside of u.s jurisdiction but the phones that are infected are on u.s soil possessed by u.s citizens how do we how do we address that in law i guarantee i don't know this for a fact but i'd be willing to bet any sum of money on it i would bet that u.s foreign aid went into nso r d absolutely 100 i would totally agree with that that is very very likely but that's a you just cannot talk about that it's another uss liberty incident which is the anniversary this last week was the anniversary happy anniversary all you dead sailors you should google that and we're not going to talk about that because that's a thing and i i must admit that this was already going on but now the expansion the timing is a little suspicious yeah because as we all know public enemy number one these days is elon musk federal safety agency expands his investigation of tesla's autopilot system this definitely has nothing to do with elon musk declaring war on politicians now this is all about the biggest part of this is that those teslas just could not stop ramming into emergency vehicles because and we talked about this before when these things happen but police and ambulances and stuff are trained to park a little bit in the road to block that right lane when there's something broken down or there's an accident or something on the shoulder or maybe partially in the land at an angle so that you'll glance off of them away from them so because they want you to get out of that lane and not risk debris or hitting somebody who's over there or anything like that teslas just don't have they can't seem to understand this concept they don't comprehend they plow right into them yeah so that's what they're looking into although people are supposed to be driving but then they use terms like it's autopilot and it's like or full self driving yeah that's a big part of the argument china have you been following the uh the belt and road yeah china has a secret military base maybe several all across the path down through the south china sea and out that straight yeah they're controlling that whole like they're building a ring fence around taiwan and has anybody noticed that they're doing it by giving these countries really crazy loans and that they know they can't pay back and then they're like oh you can't pay your loan i guess we'll take that port just give us that port uh it's not going to be a military base and then they like won't let the regulators in anymore yeah so they got a big plan going on with this belt and road thing and that's not the only thing they're doing they're also looking at the internet china has rebranded its proposal on internet governance targeting developing countries so this is actually really genius what do you do when let's go let's let's call it the west but it's really europe and the west now at this point what do you do when your telecom companies were producing telecom equipment that's video surveillance equipment internet routing equipment that kind of thing you're basically caught with your hand in the till producing dangerously insecure equipment they can't be explained by simple incompetence it's just there's so many security holes that it almost seems deliberate and like you you found some security holes those are the ones that were there for you to find but what if there were some really skilled security holes there as well so that suppresses the market for other legitimate competition blah blah blah you play the long game what do you do if you do that on a whole internet protocol level that's ipv6 plus which sounds like it would be compatible with ipv6 but it's not this is a whole other rabbit hole of insanity that may actually warrant a separate video because ipv6 plus is not a great idea unless you're trying yeah or unless you want huawei equipment to service ipv6 plus but if you are a low-income country and you're looking to expand your internet and china's throwing bags of money at you maybe it does look pretty good although there is a little bit of hope here that a lot of the leaders who were you know had quotes in this article were very suspicious as they should be this seems like it's too good of a deal to be true well because china's going to have a 99-year lease on your infrastructure your internet infrastructure the great wall will expand and taiwan is the big thing at stake here right just like ukraine is the prize in the north for food production taiwan is the prize in that ocean and that's because they're now the powerhouse of technology so china is looking at russia and they're like oh look at those sanctions that would be bad for us so you have to plan in advance what would we do if the u.s sanctioned us in a similar way then china must seize tsmc if the u.s were to impose sanctions that's the headline going around when you unpack it the economist also said but it would be really hard to get it without destroying it and we have introduced kind of like the samson plan to taiwan we're like hey if you want to be a partner of us we kind of need you to agree to burn all this down should the ccp show up on your shores that's it's really interesting because if china does this it almost has to be a hearts and minds thing like the people have to want it the people might be mistaken for wanting it but the people would have to want it in order for china to succeed there is not a military solution here for either side i imagine you could probably get people in place over time take it over yeah like hong kong protect it no well yeah but like taiwan's gonna be a little bit harder but you need people inside who seize those factories and then defend them until the main force can get there that really did not work out well for chernobyl or um the other nuclear plant well maybe we could assume that is more efficient than russia plus they got all those new military bases secret military bases right that are along the belton road quick response they got the south china sea islands which were not militarized in any way those are getting bigger yeah they got that amazing like they just dredge down and spray the sand up it turns out the thing that they needed was our garbage they just needed piles and piles of american garbage and they could build them so that's good for the sea life but you talk about hearts and mines and one way if you are a despotic government you're never going to get their hearts right but you might get their greed china offends offense china offers citizens cash and spiritual rewards quote unquote for spying tip-offs the state security ministry man if that takes off like it does here you're gonna have an army of karen's that are reporting people for things like jaywalking and they'll be overwhelmed with nonsense yes because people cannot wait to get on the phone with those cops that's an astonishing personality trait i can't get my head around it but it's uh 12 000 rmb which was how much not a lot but i mean in china with the a lot of people have very low income oh no i'm sorry it was a hundred thousand won you won i don't pronounce that i think that's twelve thousand dollars people would definitely screw you for twelve people make up stuff for twelve thousand dollars yeah that's the that's kind of it's like i don't like him let's plant some evidence in his car it's like and the eu has made a very very bold decision the eu uh some eu lawmakers have endorsed a ban on combustion engine cars by 2035. it's gonna be really bad when we discover that special brand of uh cyanobacteria that produces diesel-like fuel and it's like hey we can it's green internal combustion too late yeah in fact this agreement expressly forbids any sort of liquid chemical fuel so it's impossible to make that amazing fuel i really wish that they would get that in there because if we could if we had algae that produced diesel that would be incredible because internal combustion engines are nice they are so convenient both are evil uh i wonder if we could turn turn it into electricity somehow have some kind of liquid i mean you know if you if you take apart like lithium double a batteries the stuff in there is liquid like the long life lithium double a's i don't think you can put it in your engine no not in that form and the eu is uh working on another russian band wow this seems a little bit late right but i guess better late than never the eu's working on a possible ban on providing cloud services to russia according to source this is reuters so you have to know where your customer is they can't just show up with a credit card in a bank account are you using this in russia no yes okay it's important to note that the eu doesn't i mean they've got some presence there but they don't really have a lot of cloud hosting companies so basically they're saying hey you american companies need to stop doing this well i mean microsoft is pulling out google google already did right yeah that's uh that's going to be the business section they'll have to use rumble and uh the old uh eu charger thing we talked about this last week but now it i think it is official right it is yeah the eu has agreed to make a common charger mandatory for apple iphones and other devices basically everything usbc which apple it is terrible what apple did but at the same time this also is that same like the liquid fuel thing this can't make anything better this is also a paywall alternative and in the story that you had in the story list they had the the usbc cable and the the apple lightning cable together and the picture of the apple lightning cable had the one pin that's burnt everybody's got the the lightning cable that has the one pin that's just black because apple engineer is the idealist that they are oh yeah yeah there you go uh the uk is not going to follow yeah uk will not copy eu demand for common charging cable i thought this is well anyway look at that look at the burn pin look at it it's so burned everybody has this cable look this is this is all you need to know about apple engineering in a nutshell they did the math and that was as big as it needed to be for the charging rate that they wanted but they didn't take into account pocket lint and aging because they never do because it's apple they don't do any real world practical engineering it's only ideals and it's your fault that the cable's dirty i think the uk here is just they they love to be different in the eu now like no we're not doing that although you know the innovation thing i think like what if we come up with a better cable than usbc and then you're gonna have to move at the speed of eu bureaucracy yeah to update your phone i would be okay with an exception for like magnetic cables where it's just a pogo pins and like the cable just snaps in place that'd be fine and uh there's already an exception for wireless charging so if your thing can charge wirelessly well saudi arabia some very interesting stuff going on there it turns out much like japan they have a big problem with replacement rate breeding and an aging population what do you do if you're in that situation but you have nearly unlimited budget saudi arabia plans to spend a billion dollars a year discovering treatments to slow aging we've got some other stories that say that they should probably just fund these other people that have already figured that out they're looking at metformin which is a diabetes drug that i think they've had some very impressive stuff in mice with that but if you do this and you're successful sounds great right but you go from a nice pleasant society where everybody is getting old and dying to resource wars almost immediately yeah i mean we can't carry that many people it just ain't gonna happen at least not that quickly now elon musk says the carrying capacity for earth is nowhere near the ceiling elon musk also praises the chinese communist party for their thoughts on work and 996. elon musk wants slaves the saga of google and rcs in india has a new chapter they rolled it out they were so excited about it and indian businesses who cared nothing about the rules immediately took advantage of it so much so google has disabled rcs ads in india following rampant spam by businesses we reported on this last week it was like i guess you can't turn it off and then google is like okay we'll turn it off on our side how quickly how quickly something gets ruined by advertising this was almost a nothing burger yeah but we got to see another terrible splash page and i thought that krista could comment on it but of course she's abandoning us fbi c's is a notorious marketplace for selling millions of stolen ssns it was ssn dob market but the other 800 places you can download that zip file still exist a lot of places you get it for free i carefully work with google search we'll get it to you for free of course we all hate notifications on our websites and it's funny because tedcrunch has a little one at the bottom on this page oh e2 techcrunch chrome will now silence many of those annoying notification permission prompts on the web so the only one i've ever allowed is from discourse like on the forums that i hang out because discourse has that but like all these new sites where it's like oh techcrunch we'd like to send you updates no or know your location yeah i have enough problem with the epic games launcher it's like i'm going to turn that off and then i install epic game games launcher on another computer and then the computer that i turn that off on it turns it back on and so it's just like and so then i come in and there's a stack of like seven epic games launcher things on like a computer i use for benchmarking it's like thanks epic games launcher and that's not even the thing we're talking about it's just everybody wants to pop up with nonsense yeah and it's going to use machine learning and it says the machine learning is going to try to figure out whether or not you like those things they'll just block everything what person ever loves those no one how desperate do you have to be for interaction the click-through rate on those is slightly higher than the email pop-up that's like well you want to sign up for a newsletter that pops up after you've been reading the article for 30 seconds which if you can apply machine learning to that that's what you need to get rid of and google has another tool similar to their map tool however this one is not all about showing you uh you know directions or anything like that we are observing what is on the surface of the planet on any given tiny pixel google toolball shows what's on the surface of the earth in real time so this is movement they're basically the satellites aren't numerous enough and fast enough now we can just point them at earth and take pictures and see what changes in a given day so that's new york that's going to be a red indicates built land like a structure whereas the pockets of green are the parks and such do you think this would actually be fast enough in real time to represent what happened in a nuclear strike yes probably also it's fast enough to watch what's happening in ukraine because there's map updates with that kind of stuff and it's just it's fascinating and like the aircraft transponders and the vehicle transponders and all that's just on the internet well one of the uh if you're a traveler or even if you're not i guess one of the scariest kinds of malware and infection is the kind that comes through your charging cable because you don't know what think about it you might be in a mall or a bus station or something like that and you're like oh a charging station you plug it in bad move bad idea and now that apple i guess is forced to use usbc they're going to deal with something about it mac os will soon block unknown usb accessories by default so we had a we've got more stories about this kind of thing coming up in business but there was an apple event last week and um there's a lot of stuff but the new version of mac os is going to block untrusted usb-c devices by default when you plug in usb-c something it's going to pop up and ask you it's like hey should we trust this thing well i hate the the shortenings but fintech oh fintech is hot right now everybody wants to be a part of it and if you're one of those people but you don't really know much about it you might even not know what that word means but you're like man i got to be a part of this uh here's a little pro tip that api key protect it and protect it with your life because if somebody else has it it's the same as being you investor sues the winklevoss twins troubled crypto business over security failures ira financial trust blames gemini for the theft of 36 million in crypto what happened they lost their api key and once that was gone so was all their crypto the winklevoss twins you may remember from such adventures as the founding of facebook and getting insanely rich on the rise of bitcoin it's not doing as well now but it's still insanely doing well compared to when they got in at around a hundred dollars a coin some of that might be lost to this lawsuit i don't know that guy doesn't have much of a case right i mean an api if you lose your api key that's that's on you yeah that's like taking your car keys and just throwing them on the street or taking a picture of them putting them on on youtube just like where's my car and another week so of course what do we have that's right another i almost said another city shut down by a cyber attack italian city of palmeiro shuts down all systems to fend off cyber attack so they were in they were doing recon they were starting to infect systems and it's like okay the way that we can deal with this just turn everything off until we can clean it up so they did and that seems to have worked some lovely old buildings in this city it's the fifth largest city in italy yikes they get about 2.3 million visitors a year i think something like that we see these headlines over and over every company has well not every company but a lot of companies have made this announcement before now i think microsoft was the last one none of it's really caught on but apple could have the clout to make this ubiquitous apple pas keys could finally kill off the password for good basically you use your phone and the qr code to log into a website just what the nso group wants yeah everything is on the phone so i presumably there's another factor there the ultimate trust but trust apple and that phone is the best care the idea is we get away from data leaks because your data is not necessarily or nothing useful is actually on the website the website just knows to communicate back with your phone and authenticate that way but then the phone becomes the weak link and you can lose those or someone component from halfway around the globe or sim swap it yeah or supply chain attack it because you installed cookie clicker i don't actually know that cookie clickers anything's wrong with it might be fine here's the headline it's like yeah oh did captain obvious write this one rafael sadder is this shocking ukrainian officials phones targeted by hackers according to a cyber watchdog yeah that that pegasus software about five different people have been trying to peg assisting ukrainian officials phones wonder who could be responsible actually it's probably as much the united states as it is russia yes i think because there is a story that ukraine is not providing enough feedback back to washington and washington doesn't like it call back to the uss liberty incident if you don't know why the uss liberty was there it was the spy they didn't like that telegram is one of those services where you might use it instead of all the other horribly insecure things and you might think you're safe but you shouldn't think that telegram reportedly surrendered user data to authorities despite insisting zero bytes had ever been shared it was a number substantially greater than zero and we reported this on the level one news first because remember when this came out we're like no they definitely shared info germany well we we presumed this first maybe uh but germany this had to do with like child predator type stuff and terror cases apparently when those two things came up telegram was like yep here you go look at whatever you want signal might still be okay maybe and microsoft has another big flaw and this one they are not rushing to deal with an actively exploited microsoft zero day flaw still has no patch this is the one we reported on from last week still dangerous there are mitigating things you should do you should definitely read the article to do that especially if you work in small business small office type situations but uh yeah it's not a great situation often security researchers come up with novel things that are used to spy that may never actually make it into the real spying world there was the light bulb spying thing do you think anybody's actually used that at this point uh probably it's been used in like five operations worldwide it doesn't work super great you need a really really perfect situation in this case even temperature can mess with it yeah but it is terrifying bluetooth signals can be used to identify and track smartphones this is substantially more low-tech in fact a lot of retailers in malls back before malls were declining sharply precipitously had kiosks in them that were tracking the bluetooth signals and when you went to checkout it would try to correlate a bluetooth mac address which is globally unique with um your uh your purchase identity this is so bad the wi-fi uh mac address and the bluetooth mic address this is so bad for i think the last three or four versions of mac os it tries to randomize the mac address the media access control address in the i o software to try to thwart this type of spying because it is so pervasive but in this case the mac address is not even required there is a noise on the bluetooth chip that is actually unique to the chip but that is the thing that changes with temperature yep so maybe when you start start like you get you come into the mall at first you put your phone in your pocket and warm it up but then halfway through your mall trip you get a cold drink hold that against the phone change your bluetooth signature just don't go to malls it's bad and here's a terrifying headline because the uh in the uk the uh national health service is getting into the school systems somehow and they're like hey we need to do something we need to do things for the kids what can we do what can we introduce to the school system to make it safer and better for the kids and someone unironically said plant here yeah poland here planetary gears up to expand its reach into the uk's national health service because plant here definitely needs access to all the health records of people in the national health service in the uk that definitely makes sense you know the company that's named after a terrible spying tool i can say that this week because chris is not here uh do you think that uh they would use this the biometric data from this to uncover spies or to build onto their other stuff with all the the data they
