The article highlights several recent security developments: the U.S. military has long known that adversaries can exploit location data to track troops, yet the Pentagon has largely ignored easy mitigation measures despite evidence that such data is being used against soldiers; after a 90‑day internet shutdown, Iran’s connectivity is slowly returning amid political turmoil and uncertain durability; a Russian‑language ransomware group called Play claims to have stolen extensive confidential data from MyPillow and threatened to publish it, which founder Mike Lindell denies as a politically motivated hit‑job; the FBI reports a new tactic by the Silent Ransom Group, which sends operatives to physically infiltrate law‑firm offices and copy data onto external drives—an approach not seen before; AI surveillance firm BusPatrol plans to convert its school‑bus cameras into automatic license‑plate readers that will share vehicle location data with police without a warrant, effectively turning buses into roaming surveillance units; and a study by the University of Chicago finds that disabling ShotSpotter gun‑shot detection in Chicago led to a four‑minute improvement in police response times to urgent non‑gun‑shot 911 calls, suggesting the technology caused false‑positive dispatches that delayed officers.
