UN #Security Council to meet Monday over #Israel's strike on #Iran

I always ask myself whether these people are still capable of logical thinking? If this Israeli airstrike was criminal, what was the Iranian one? If the Iranian one was a justified retaliation in his way of thinking, why is the retaliation of the retaliation criminal? Why are such people tolerated in the #government?

Zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2024-43047), a use after free in Qualcomm chips under limited, targeted exploitation in the wild. (No info on threat actor, but my guess is nation-state activity.)
While Qualcomm has released a fix for this vulnerability as of September 2024, Android OEMs still have to incorporate it and then roll out updates to users.

The #surveillance systems believed to be at issue are used to cooperate with requests for domestic information related to criminal and national security investigations. Under federal law, telecommunications and broadband companies must allow authorities to intercept electronic information pursuant to a court order. It couldn’t be determined if systems that support foreign #intelligence surveillance were also vulnerable in the breach.
