Hackers take control of #robot vacuums in multiple cities, yell racial slurs


Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-11/robot-vacuum-yells-racial-slurs-at-family-after-being-hacked/104445408

The PIN code system protecting the robot's video feed — and remote control feature — was also known to be faulty, and the warning sound that is meant to play when the #camera is being watched was able to be disabled from afar.

These #security issues could explain how attackers took control of multiple robots in separate locations, and how they could've silently surveilled their victims once they'd gotten in.

People who choose to stay in a #hurricane aren’t just being stubborn or over-confident.

In many ways, evacuating is a privilege. It requires money, planning, transportation, access to accurate information and perhaps most importantly – the life experience and trust to believe that evacuating is better than staying put.

Kadyrov has posted a video declaring blood revenge against a senator of the Federation Council and two Russian MPs.

He claims they wanted him assassinated and tried to find out how much that would cost.

For several years now, Russian propagandists have been talking about a "big war between Russia and NATO countries."
In yesterday's video, Solovyev again talks about a large war and prepares the Russian population for future food rations and the fact that teenagers will have to make shells in factories.

They are preparing for an even larger and more horrible war in Europe.
