The theft by a criminal #hacking group of reams of sensitive personal data involving potentially tens of thousands of former & current #FBI employees is emerging as one of the worst breaches of sensitive #government information….

Nearly a week after the group #ShinyHunters revealed it had pilfered intimate details about bureau personnel from the FBI’s jobs portal & threatened to leak them online, investigators are still piecing together how it took place & the damage.

Breaking, exclusive and spicy, from me:

A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada. Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana. KrebsOnSecurity also has learned that the New Orleans field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.

A record available at this identity theft service that includes the drivers license for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is one of several high-ranking U.S. government officials whose drivers licenses can be found for sale. The record shows a picture of Hegseth wearing a suit and tie.

America hates Jewish, Muslim, and black Americans. Fact.

"#FBI data released this week showed that #Jews were targeted in 1,528 hate crimes in the #US in 2025, far more than any other religious group.

The figure amounted to 63% of the 2,408 religion-based #hatecrimes in the US last year.

Overall hate crimes, and those targeting Jews, decreased last year compared to 2024, although Jews remain disproportionately targeted.

The next most-targeted religious group was #Muslims, who were the victims of 205 hate crime incidents, meaning Jews were attacked seven times more often.

Overall, #Blackpeople were targeted the most, with 2,811 hate crimes against them, the data showed. The US Black population is around six times larger than the Jewish population.

Jews were targeted in 14% of all hate crimes in the US last year, despite making up around two percent of the population."

whitestodon needs to read MLK’s #FreedomBudget before opining about #UBI

“A Freedom Budget for All Americans” https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/02/a-freedom-budget-for-all-americans-annotated/557024/

then read his “Where Do We Go From Here?”

the King family proved the #fbi was behind his assassination. i believe this UBI project is why he was assassinated.

why?

it was for ALL americans, not just Black people.

capitalists depend on racism to cleave the working classes. ending poverty would end their racist gravy train.

Seems suspect to me. Anyone else?

FBI and US environmental agency warn: Cyberattacks on US waterworks increase

Cybercriminals are manipulating programmable controllers of waterworks in some US states. Iran is suspected, Trump sees it differently.

"In charging a man for allegedly typing in a duress password which wiped his privacy-focused GrapheneOS phone, the U.S. government is trying to intimidate other activists from protecting their data and participating in social movements, Samuel Tunick, the man charged, told 404 Media in an interview on Tuesday.

The case of Tunick, who participated in the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, has resonated across privacy and civil liberties circles. 404 Media first broke news of the case in December. Last week, The Guardian reported additional details including from a court hearing in the case. The maximum sentence for the alleged crime is five years in federal prison.

“I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people against protecting their data and their privacy, and the government hopes to set a precedent that no one has the right to privacy,” Tunick told 404 Media in a conference call with his federal public defender Matthew Dodge."

a post i never thought i'd never find in my feeed from someone i follow. i'm jst gonna say this outright, i don't care if you're a #librel or you hate the #president, say what you will, but why the fuck are we still advikating for the death of trump? 8647 or whatever (yes i know exactly what that means). lik him or not, i think wishing death upon him is not only a crime, but is extream in general. mind you this is someone i come to specifically for cybersecurity news, not for political rederick. i usually ignore his political shit (unless it has to do with #cisa , #nsa, or any #cyber invesigations by #fbi) but i don't know if it's possible to ignore this one. hell, i didn't like joe biden, i made my own posts criticizing him at points, and yet i'd never wish death upon him. it's extream.
