...these cameras contain a hardcoded list of Russian phone numbers, which can be used to open a backdoor. An SMS from one of these numbers can open shell and network access.

...the web management portal can be accessed, exposing live streams, by anyone with the camera IP.

Reports also suggest that pressure from the opposition political party in Slovakia led to the NBU investigations. The current government of the country, led by populist Robert Fico, initially denied reports that the cameras were of Russian origin and rebuffed any security concerns. Fico has what some would describe as a pro-Russia tilt, but you can read more about that elsewhere, if you are interested.

The Los Angeles district attorney has dropped felony charges against a police officer who secretly recorded his colleagues making racist remarks.

Los Angeles Police Department Officer Daniel Flores was charged in July with 16 felony counts after submitting audio to internal affairs in early 2025. The tapes, recorded within the LAPD's recruitment division, captured officers making explicit remarks and were first disclosed by the Los Angeles Times.

District Attorney Nathan Hochman had initially charged Flores under California's decades-old eavesdropping statute, which mandates the consent of all parties present to legally record conversations. The original charges carried a maximum sentence of 13 years in prison.

The charges sparked swift backlash, particularly from Flores' attorney, Alan Jackson. Speaking to the LA Times in July, Jackson warned that the case communicated that “if you document bigotry inside the LAPD, you will be the one who ends up in a courtroom. It tells them the safe move is to hear slurs and say nothing.”

Alexander Wolfe, 39, suffered a fractured skull and multiple lacerations during the Aug. 10 attack at his South Hill home. Police arrested 25-year-old Shawn D. Jones, who is facing a first-degree assault charge. Prosecutors have also asked police to investigate whether the incident could support hate crime charges.

According to court documents and Wolfe’s account, the violence began around 4 a.m. when Wolfe woke to breaking glass and banging outside his home. When he went downstairs, he discovered someone smashing his glass storm door.

Wolfe’s fiancée reportedly heard Jones say something resembling “save the kids” while damaging the property. Wolfe and his fiancée also said they heard the word “transgender” before the attack. Small Pride flags were displayed outside the home.
