Is this the real life or is it just fantasy?

GrapheneOSHaving a European version of the Play Integrity which permits people to use insecure products from specific European companies participating in it while disallowing using arbitrary hardware or software is the opposite of a solution. It's more of the same anti-competitive garbage.
BrianKrebsKrebsOnSecurity.com celebrates its 16th anniversary today! A huge “thank you” to all of our readers — newcomers, long-timers and drive-by critics alike. Your engagement this past year here has been tremendous and truly a salve on a handful of dark days. Happily, comeuppance was a strong theme running through our coverage in 2025, with a primary focus on entities that enabled complex and globally-dispersed cybercrime services.
I'll add this spoiler, from the end:
"I am happy to report that the first KrebsOnSecurity stories of 2026 will go deep into the origins of Kimwolf, and examine the botnet’s unique and highly invasive means of spreading digital disease far and wide.

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).
AI is not smart enough, yet websites have em for customer support everywhere nowadays too. 🤦🏼
@briankrebs Did you read this article yet?🤔 "Adblock ban" by several companies like #YouTube and #Google to prevent users from blocking ads, poses a security problem. From International Cyber Digest📰
"malicious advertisement created by the attacker to be shown on the target’s phone. This malicious ad could be served on any website which displays ads, such as a trusted news website or mobile app, and would appear like any other ad that the target is likely to see. Internal company materials explain that simply viewing the advertisement is enough to trigger the infection on the target’s device, without any need to click on the advertisement itself." 😱

To Catch a Predator: Leak exposes the internal operations of Intellexa’s mercenary spyware - Amnesty International Security Lab
Drawing on leaked internal company documents, sales and marketing material, as well as training videos, the “Intellexa Leaks” investigation gives a never-before-seen glimpse of the internal operations of a mercenary spyware company focused on exploiting vulnerabilities in mobile devices, which enable targeted surveillance attacks on human rights defenders, journalists and members of civil society.
They also want to criminalize VPN use with a 20-year prison sentence. Wild times.🤦🏼
