The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

A casino installed a smart fish tank in the lobby.
Beautiful thing. Automated feeding. Temperature control. Remote monitoring.
Connected to the internet. Obviously.
Hackers found it.
Exploited it.
Downloaded the high-roller database.
10 gigabytes.
Sent it to Finland.
Using audio and video protocols so it looked like normal streaming traffic.
The fish tank sat in the lobby maintaining water chemistry while stealing credit card numbers.
The casino isolated the fish tank on its own VPN.
Separate network. Segregated. Off limits to everything.
Hackers didn't care. Broke through the isolation anyway.
Once inside the fish tank's system. They pivoted to the main network.
Quietly pulled data. Methodically.
10 gigabytes over time so nobody noticed.
Nobody monitors fish tank outbound traffic.
Why would they.
It's a fish tank.
When Darktrace finally investigated they saw it immediately.
The fish tank sending massive amounts of data to an external IP.
Using protocols designed for audio. Not data.
Clear exfiltration.
The only device in the entire casino that ever communicated with that Finland server.
A fish tank.
Not a computer. Not compromised credentials. Not a malware-laden email.
A networked aquarium.
The lesson everyone learned: IoT devices are security theater.
You can secure them. Lock them down. Isolate them.
They're still connected to something. Still vulnerable to something.
And something will find them.
Even if that something is just checking if a fish tank is running the default password.

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE FOR KATIE.....

Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. theintercept.com/2026/10/15/…

This story is extremely important:
A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning.
Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election.
This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.)
Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"...
The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns.
Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
