My original plan was to delete my Facebook account back in July, timed around Independence Day. I’m nothing if not a sucker for symbolism.

As the 2025 drum corps season kicked into high gear around that time, along with my vacation, I ended up tabling my plan.

Recent events have convinced me that it is time to move forward with my plan and complete my departure from Meta owned and run services.

I am posting this message on September 11. I will shut down my Facebook account in one month, on October 11.

Translated and Republished under Open License, V2.0. Originally published in CERT-FR as Threat and Incident Report.

Since 2021, Apple has been sending notification campaigns to individuals targeted by spyware attacks.

These software programs, such as Pegasus, Predator, Graphite or Triangulation, are particularly sophisticated and difficult to detect.

These complex attacks target individuals because of their status or function: journalists, lawyers, activists, politicians, senior officials, members of management committees in strategic sectors, etc.

Receiving a notification means that at least one of the devices linked to the iCloud account has been targeted and is potentially compromised.

The notification results in the receipt of an iMessage and an alert email sent by Apple (from threat-notifications[at]email.apple.com or threat-notifications[at]apple.com). When logging into the iCloud account, an alert is displayed. The time between the compromise attempt and the receipt of the notification is several months, but remains variable.

The notifications sent report highly sophisticated attacks, most of which employ zero-day vulnerabilities or require no user interaction at all.

The following best practices help to better protect the phone against this type of attack:
- Update your devices to the latest version as soon as possible. Apple updates often fix vulnerabilities exploited by spyware;
- Enable automatic updates, including security updates;
- Separate personal and professional uses as much as possible, ideally by using different devices;
- Enable "Isolation Mode" to enhance the security of your Apple devices;
- Restart your device regularly, ideally once a day.

More generally, the following measures contribute to your good IT hygiene:
- Do not click on suspicious links or attachments;
Set up a strong and unique access code;
- Use two-factor authentication whenever possible;
- Avoid installing unknown apps or apps from alternative app stores.

It had only been 72 hours since their last major rally, but thousands of Chicagoans marched in protest against Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement “blitz” on Tuesday afternoon.

Check out these wonderful photos and video.

"We are going to keep fighting against the escalated ICE raids and attacks against our communities,” Rania Salem, an organizer with the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, told ABC7 News. “Trump says that it's going to be war in Chicago, but I believe in the people's power and the resistance here is strong.”

The new enforcement push, which the Department of Homeland Security has designated “Operation Midway Blitz,” is actually off to a slow start as of this writing. Perhaps ICE has been scared away because of the resistance that Chicagoans, have already shown. Or perhaps the blitz is just “gathering steam,” as Gov. JB Pritzker warned on Tuesday.

Federal agents, with camera crews from Fox News and ABC News riding along, made a handful of apprehensions of people with criminal records on Tuesday – validating Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton’s description of the blitz as a “sick reality show.”

(Both networks – inexcusably, to my mind -- agreed to blur the faces of federal agents.)

But so far there have been no Los-Angeles-style raids of Home Depot parking lots or construction sites or other indiscriminate mass abductions based on racial profiling.

Charlie Kirk has never received a warm welcome in the pages of this magazine. It doesn’t matter now. The assassination of Kirk is a tragedy. Morally, it is unjustifiable. Politically, it is cause for serious alarm. A larger spiral into political violence would be a catastrophe for the Left.

As of the time of this writing, no one knows the shooter’s ideology or motivations. But some key points are clear enough.

No one should be killed as punishment for political expression, no matter how objectionable. In addition to our basic abhorrence of violence, we are also proponents of democracy, which depends on free speech and open inquiry. Without them, collective self-governance is impossible and tyranny becomes inevitable. Imposing silence on political opponents by brute force, whether in the form of state crackdowns on dissent or lone-wolf assassinations of leaders, undermines a principle that democratic socialists have always held dear.
