A Texas court has temporarily restricted the use of ACR technology by Hisense while privacy litigation proceeds.

From a security and privacy perspective, the case underscores recurring issues: transparency in telemetry collection, informed consent, and the expanding data footprint of consumer IoT devices.

What controls or disclosures do you believe should be standard for connected home technology?

ACE has taken down the MKVCinemas streaming piracy network, along with 25 supporting domains used by millions over the past two years. The same action dismantled a file-cloning tool that distributed media from concealed cloud repositories into personal cloud drives.

This follows a series of coordinated operations involving Europol, ACE, DAZN, and other enforcement partners targeting illicit IPTV and media distribution networks.

What technical vectors do you think will become the next priority for investigators?

It's been a bit quiet over the last 24 hours, so it'll be a short post today, but we do have some positive news from Portugal regarding legal protections for security researchers. Let's dive in:

Portugal's New Cybercrime Law Protects Security Researchers 🛡️

- Portugal has updated its cybercrime law, introducing a legal safe harbour for security researchers who identify and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities.
- This exemption applies under strict conditions, including the sole purpose of improving cybersecurity, immediate reporting to affected parties and the CNCS, and avoiding disruptive or harmful techniques like DoS, social engineering, or data alteration.
- The move aligns Portugal with other nations like Germany and the US, which have also introduced similar protections to encourage ethical hacking and proactive vulnerability discovery without fear of legal repercussions.

A Russian physicist has been sentenced to 21 years for treason + alleged cyber sabotage.

The case blends technical capability, intent, and wartime interpretation - with colleagues saying he lacked the skills to perform the alleged DDoS attack.

Curious to hear the infosec community’s take:
How should technical ability and digital intent be
evaluated in politically sensitive cyber cases?

California’s new privacy law will require browsers to provide a built-in, one-step opt-out for data sharing. Experts believe browser vendors may extend this capability nationwide to avoid fragmented builds and residency validation.

With 12 states now mandating recognition of opt-out signals, this could shift how platforms and data brokers handle user information once the law takes effect in 2027.
