New, by me: Security researcher Eaton Zveare spent weeks trying to alert a little-known but critical U.S. cargo tech giant that their shipping systems and customers' data were exposed to the web. After weeks of trying, Zveare asked TechCrunch for help. We were ignored, too. On the third time we emailed the firm's CEO, we included a partial copy of his password to show the seriousness of the flaws. A couple of hours later, we got a response — from its law firm.
This is utterly insane, almost unheard of. This morning, the FBI *searched the home* of a Washington Post reporter, and seized her phone and smart watch, as part of an investigation into an alleged leak of classified info. by a government employee. (The federal case appears to be 1:26-mj-00045.) https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/01/14/washington-post-reporter-search/
Daily Beast reports that a DHS whistleblower has leaked the personal details of around 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees. The data is said to include about 1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors.
