I have intentionally avoided purchasing a (so called) smart TV since they became a thing.
Part of the reason is that — they are spyware.
Apparently, there is now a court case about it.

THIS is some good #PSA re: #JavaScript, which is being rampantly abused for #malware!

Ah, yes. That moment. The one that sends a chill down your spine and makes you do a quick, frantic scan of your surroundings, hoping nobody noticed that brief, undeniable flash of panic on your face. You know exactly what I'm talking about: That split second when you spot that website in your browser's tab bar.
Heart pounding, you dart a glance at your coworkers, your friends, your partner, or anyone in the vicinity, searching for signs of judgment or, worse, curiosity. No one's looking, but somehow, you feel like everyone is. It's like the universe knows, and it's giggling behind its hand. You quickly click over to the tab, praying, hoping it's not what you think it is.
And then, oh sweet relief, it's not that. But now, a whole new, equally horrible truth sinks in. You've just been pranked by the cruel, merciless soul who crafted this infernal website. You, my friend, have just experienced the finest torture modern web technology has to offer: Unwarranted suspense, followed by the revelation that nothing is as it seems.
JavaScript, you son of a smoking gun. The great trickster of the web, slinking in the background, making you believe that your browsing experience is smooth and simple, only to slap you with a pop-up, a subtle redirect, or worse, a blinking ad that's seemingly impossible to close.
And here you are, caught in the endless cycle of knowing you should turn JavaScript off but just not caring enough to actually do it. It's like knowing you should stop eating those extra chips but doing it anyway. But this? This is the universe giving you a little nudge, perhaps a not-so-subtle one, reminding you of your folly.
So, here it is, loud and clear: Turn JavaScript off, now, and only allow it on websites you trust! Save your sanity, preserve your dignity, and maybe give your browser a fighting chance at actually doing what you want it to do. Because if you don't, the next time you see that icon, your heart might not only drop, it might skip a beat or two.
You have no idea what any of this means? Then you probably haven't noticed this page's tab icon and title while it was inactive/sent to the background. Simply open a new tab and see how this tab changes. :-)

Webrat, disguised as exploits, is spreading via GitHub repositories
A new malware campaign has been discovered, distributing the Webrat Trojan via GitHub repositories. The attackers are disguising the malware as exploits for high-profile vulnerabilities, targeting inexperienced security professionals and students. The repositories contain detailed, AI-generated vulnerability information to build trust. The malicious files perform actions such as privilege escalation, disabling Windows Defender, and fetching the Webrat backdoor. Webrat can steal data from various applications, perform spyware functions, and allow remote control of infected systems. This campaign represents a shift in tactics for the Webrat operators, moving from targeting gamers and users of pirated software to specifically targeting the cybersecurity community.

"Darknet Diaries Deutsch": Hacker im Staatsdienst
Ein staatlicher Hacker erhält den Auftrag, in das Netzwerk einer ausländischen Regierung einzudringen. Doch dann verursacht die Spyware Probleme.
#Darknet #DarknetDiaries #Hacking #Journal #Sicherheitslücken #Spionage #Spyware #news
House of Lords proposes bill ammendments to 1) age verify vpns 2) mandate "tamper proof" CSAM client side scanning on all mobiles and tablets with internet connectivity [1][2]
Also the government’s Independent Reviewer of State Threats Legislation and Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation has stated that those who make end to end encrypted apps could fall under "hostile activity" (basically terrorism)[3]
You can fight 1) by using tor or i2p, which are internet traffic anonymisation tools similar to vpns but even more anonymous. Whereas vpns require you to sign up somewhere and have specific servers courier your traffic, tor and i2p operate on a kind of mesh network where thousands of servers engage in a complicated dance to obscure who is even handling your traffic, i2p even more so because every user is automatically a node
To fight 2) I also suggest looking into open hardware such as the mnt reform (although laptops aren't the purview atm ofc theyll expand the powers later). When companies are forced to put spyware at the hardware level to bypass open source operating systems we need to dig our heels in and promote and make accessible even stronger privacy protecting methods. Ideally you could buy a few smartphone or laptop parts and put them together in an hour with a video tutorial and a screwdriver then no one would technically be selling you a device that flaunts the regulation
You can fight 3) by continuing to use all methods at your disposal to become invisible. Get as much proprietary software off your devices as possible, use vpns tor i2p whatever you can to hide your internet traffic. Prefer local and encrypted solutions to cloud services whereever possible. The idea being that if the govt cant see you're using e2ee apps then they can't stop you.
I have way too much privacy and anonymyity advice to put in one toot, but if anyone in the replies is interested I'll write it all up with subsections I've done it before I'd just need to update it with what I've learned since
