SCOOP: Someone has found new samples of the iPhone spyware DarkSword and published them on GitHub, putting millions of iOS users at risk.
A cybersecurity researcher told us that the leaked spyware is "way too easy to repurpose" and "we need to expect criminals and others to start deploying this."
"The exploits will work out of the box," iVerify's Matthias Frielingsdorf said. "There is no iOS expertise required."
This Afroman trial is giving me life.
Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.
He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.

"A Nashville reporter who faced death threats in her home country could now be sent back by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodríguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether her detention is legal."
It's absolutely insane to me that in this day and age a company would reject end-to-end encryption so that cops and feds can actively read people's messages. It also puts that same data at risk from hackers. But that's TikTok, under new U.S. ownership.
