We the people
Are we the people?
Some kind of monster

Can we not return to the good ol' days when developers were pumping out actual quality software and not simply listening to their shareholders or being complicit in the surveillance state's program that treats us like guinea pigs?

Malware as we know it is obviously detrimental to the user and their computer, but how "malware" is defined is so narrow that it overlooks how willing developers of "legitimate" proprietary software—including video games—are willing to mistreat their customers. Antivirus software has become practically a joke. At least I know #Luanti respects my privacy, unlike Microsoft #Minecraft.

Sherpa Intelligence: Your Guide Up a Mountain of Information
Alright team, it's been a bit quiet on the news front over the last 24 hours, but we've still got some interesting bits to chew on, including ongoing database extortion, a wild deepfake job application story, and a new privacy feature from Apple. Let's dive in:
Exposed MongoDB Instances Under Attack ⚠️
- A persistent threat actor is still hitting misconfigured MongoDB instances, wiping databases and demanding low ransoms (around £400-£500 in Bitcoin) for data restoration, though there's no guarantee of recovery.
- Research shows over 208,500 MongoDB servers are publicly exposed, with 3,100 lacking authentication, and nearly half of those already compromised.
- Admins must avoid public exposure, enforce strong authentication, use firewalls, update to the latest versions, and continuously monitor for unauthorised activity.

Deepfake Job Applicants: A New Social Engineering Frontier 🧠
- An AI security startup CEO recently faced a sophisticated deepfake candidate applying for a security researcher role, highlighting the growing use of AI in recruitment scams.
- Even experienced professionals can struggle with the "inner turmoil" of confronting a deepfake, underscoring the challenge of verifying identity in remote hiring.
- Companies should implement a mix of low-tech (trust your gut, mandate cameras on, ask for physical interaction) and high-tech solutions (deepfake detection tools) to combat this evolving threat, as the cost of hiring a malicious actor can be substantial.

Apple Enhances iPhone Location Privacy 🔒
- Apple is rolling out a new "Limit Precise Location" feature for some iPhone and iPad models (iOS 26.3+), allowing users to restrict cellular networks to only approximate location data.
- This feature, which doesn't affect emergency calls or app-shared location, appears to be a response to past FCC fines against major carriers for illegally sharing user location data.
- While currently limited to specific devices and carriers (e.g., Telekom DE, EE/BT UK, Boost Mobile US, AIS/True TH), it marks a significant step towards giving users more control over how carriers track their movements.

Growing tired of cloud storage subscriptions, and twitchy with cloud storage privacy. Spent a chunk of time today getting everything out of Google Drive/Photos and replaced with Borg backup and Syncthing to keep some level of automation between phone and laptop.

Here’s a quick showdown if you’re thinking of leaving proprietary Android behind:
Murena / e‑OS (Fairphone 4):
Price: €449‑€499
CPU: Snapdragon 750G (≈ 1.9 k Geekbench multi) – decent but slower
GPU: Adreno 619 (≈ 1.1 TFLOPS)
RAM/Storage: 6 / 8 GB RAM, UFS 2.1
Security: Standard verified boot, no dedicated security chip
Updates: Depends on LineageOS – often lagging behind Google’s patches
Pros: Modular, repair‑friendly, microG gives partial Play‑Services compatibility
Graphene OS on Pixal 7: (You could use any Pixal phone from the 4 up to the pixal 10 fold and Tablet)
Price: $599 (~€560)
CPU: Google Tensor G2 (≈ 3.4 k Geekbench multi) – ~2× faster than Murena
GPU: Mali‑G710 MP7 (good for everyday gaming)
RAM/Storage: 8 GB RAM, UFS 3.1
Security: Titan M2 security co‑processor + hardware‑backed keystore, verified boot, attestation
Updates: Monthly security patches, 5 years guaranteed
Pros: Strongest hardware‑rooted security on a consumer phone, pure Android stack (no Google services when using Graphene OS)
Why switch?
Better hardware trust – Titan M2 beats standard boot‑loaders.
Faster updates – stay protected without waiting for LineageOS.
Higher performance – smoother multitasking & AI tasks.
True de‑Googling – Graphene OS runs a clean, auditable Android fork.
💭 If you value privacy and solid performance, the Pixel 7 + Graphene OS is the more compelling upgrade, even at a modest price premium.
