From #Iran to #Ukraine ,everyone's trying to #hack #security #cameras
For decades, #satellites , #drones , & human spotters have all been part of war’s #surveillance & #reconnaissance tool kit. In an age of cheap, insecure, Internet-connected consumer devices, however, #militaries have gained another powerful set of eyes on the ground: every hackable security camera installed outside a home or on a city street, pointed at potential bombing targets

How tenaciously #Palantir courted Switzerland
The #controversial #tech company Palantir provides #surveillance #technology to #militaries and #intelligence services around the world.
In #Switzerland, however, its pitches have been rejected by both government authorities and the #army.
Internal documents have now revealed why.

#ICE Is Going on a #Surveillance Shopping Spree
Standing at $28.7 billion dollars for the year 2025 (nearly triple their 2024 budget) and at least another $56.25 billion over the next three years, ICE's budget would be the envy of many national #militaries around the world. Indeed, this budget would put ICE as the 14th most well-funded #military in the world, right between Ukraine and Israel.

We need to have a hard look at the surveillance industry. It is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties, and it continues to be used by aspiring autocrats to threaten our very democracy. As long as it exists, the surveillance industry, and the data it generates, will be an irresistible tool for anti-democratic forces.

“ #Militaries depend on #satellites for communication, intelligence, and navigation. As the number of satellites grows, so has the number of attacks. There’s now attacks happening nearly every day. Here’s how nations are vying for power and what they’re now developing to take control.”
