Of the things you thought of upon waking up this morning, we’re betting “solar stalking” wasn’t on the list. And yet, here we are. A solar stalker is someone who could hack the energy system of a home with rooftop solar panels. Unlikely? Perhaps, but the U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA recently published an advisory about security vulnerabilities with a particular solar energy company’s solar inverters. [@Techcrunch](

Canada is experiencing its second-worst wildfire season on record (more than 7.3 million hectares have burned so far in 2025) and it's been particularly bad in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Paris Marx writes about how social media, particularly Facebook, has led to the spread of misinformation. False claims include that resources are being taken from one fire to prioritize another, and even that the states of emergency declared are part of a government campaign to take people's rights. "We can become accustomed to the harms of these platforms and the information environment they create, but the social damage really comes to the fore in a moment of crisis when you can see just how bad they are informing people," Marx says. https://flip.it/5o4Hw1 #Canada #Wildfires #Environment #Tech #Technology #SocialMedia #Facebook #Misinformation #Disinformation
