Telegram perde il suo status di piattaforma comoda per i criminali informatici
Telegram, che nel corso della sua storia è diventata una delle app di messaggistica più popolari al mondo, sta gradualmente perdendo il suo status di piattaforma comoda per i criminali informatici.
Gli analisti di Kaspersky Lab hanno monitorato il ciclo di vita di centinaia di canali underground e hanno concluso che la moderazione più severa stanno letteralmente estromettendo l’underground dall’app di messaggistica.
Gli esperti sottolineano che Telegram è inferiore alle app di messaggistica sicura dedicate in termini di protezione della privacy: le chat non utilizzano la crittografia end-to-end di default, l’intera infrastruttura è centralizzata e il codice del server è chiuso.
Sebbene questo probabilmente non rappresenti un problema significativo per l’utente medio, implica la dipendenza da terze parti e il rischio di deanonimizzazione per i criminali. Non è un caso che le proposte di vietare completamente Telegram per motivi di lavoro siano sempre più frequenti sui forum underground.
Tuttavia, sono proprio le funzionalità integrate del servizio a renderlo una piattaforma aziendale conveniente per i criminali.
I bot gestiscono l’accettazione e il pagamento degli ordini, vendono log di infostealer , abbonamenti MaaS, servizi di doxxing, frodi con carte di credito e altre frodi online minori. Questa attività criminale “snella” e altamente automatizzata si adatta perfettamente al modello di Telegram: il proprietario è in gran parte estraneo alle operazioni e i file pubblicati sui canali vengono archiviati a tempo indeterminato.
Tuttavia, prodotti esclusivi – accesso alle reti aziendali, exploit zero-day– rimangono sui forum darknet tradizionali con sistemi di reputazione, depositi e garanzie sulle transazioni.
Una sezione separata dello studio è dedicata alla durata di vita dei canali underground. Sulla base dei dati di oltre 800 risorse bloccate, gli analisti hanno stimato la loro durata media in circa sette mesi. Tuttavia, la mediana è aumentata: mentre nel 2021-2022 un canale durava in media cinque mesi, nel 2023-2024 ha raggiunto i nove. Ciò non significa che la persecuzione sia diminuita: il grafico dei blocchi mostra un forte picco nel 2022, legato all’attività degli hacktivisti, e livelli costantemente elevati fino a metà del 2025. Anche i minimi di fine 2024 sono paragonabili ai picchi del 2023.
I criminali informatici stanno cercando di adattarsi: cambiano canale in modalità “on-demand”, pubblicano messaggi “innocui” per camuffare la propria identità e annotano i post con disclaimer e dichiarazioni sulla legalità del contenuto. Tuttavia, un’analisi di risorse di lunga data mostra che queste misure vengono applicate sporadicamente e generalmente non riescono a impedire il blocco.
Di conseguenza, grandi comunità stanno iniziando a cercare alternative. Ad esempio, nel 2025, uno dei gruppi più grandi, BFRepo, con quasi 9.000 iscritti, ha annunciato il suo passaggio al messenger decentralizzato SimpleX dopo una serie di ban su Telegram. Un altro gruppo ben noto, Angel Drainer, si è spinto ancora oltre e ha lanciato il proprio messenger chiuso con il presunto supporto per i moderni protocolli crittografici, raccomandando allo stesso tempo agli utenti di abbandonare Telegram.
Gli autori del rapporto concludono in modo inequivocabile: Telegram un tempo sembrava un rifugio relativamente sicuro per i criminali, ma quell’era sta finendo. La crescente moderazione e la pressione da parte di vari attori, dai detentori di copyright ai gruppi di hacktivisti, stanno rendendo l’infrastruttura underground del messenger sempre più instabile.
Tuttavia, la scomparsa dei canali underground da Telegram non significa una riduzione delle minacce informatiche: le comunità criminali stanno semplicemente migrando verso altri servizi o sviluppando soluzioni proprie. Gli analisti esortano le aziende e gli specialisti della sicurezza informatica a monitorare attentamente la migrazione delle piattaforme e ad adattare i propri sistemi di monitoraggio ai nuovi focolai di attività criminale informatica.

Step into my Particle Accelerator
If you get a chance to visit a computer history museum and see some of the very old computers, you’ll think they took up a full room. But if you ask, you’ll often find that the power supply was in another room and the cooling system was in yet another. So when you get a computer that fit on, say, a large desk and maybe have a few tape drives all together in a normal-sized office, people thought of it as “small.” We’re seeing a similar evolution in particle accelerators, which, a new startup company says, can be room-sized according to a post by [Charles Q. Choi] over at IEEE Spectrum.
Usually, when you think of a particle accelerator, you think of a giant housing like the 3.2-kilometer-long SLAC accelerator. That’s because these machines use magnets to accelerate the particles, and just like a car needs a certain distance to get to a particular speed, you have to have room for the particle to accelerate to the desired velocity.
A relatively new technique, though, doesn’t use magnets. Instead, very powerful (but very short) laser pulses create plasma from gas. The plasma oscillates in the wake of the laser, accelerating electrons to relativistic speeds. These so-called wakefield accelerators can, in theory, produce very high-energy electrons and don’t need much space to do it.
The startup company, TAU Systems, is about to roll out a commercial system that can generate 60 to 100 MeV at 100 Hz. They also intend to increase the output over time. For reference, SLAC generates 50,000 MeV. But, then again, it takes two miles of raceway to do it.
The initial market is likely to be radiation testing for space electronics. Higher energies will open the door to next-generation X-ray lithography for IC production, and more. There are likely applications for accelerated electrons that we don’t see today because it isn’t feasible to generate them without a massive facility.
On the other hand, don’t get your checkbook out yet. The units will cost about $10 million at the bottom end. Still a bargain compared to the alternatives.
You can do some of this now on a chip. Particle accelerators have come a long way.

Designing a Simpler Cycloidal Drive
Cycloidal drives have an entrancing motion, as well as a few other advantages – high torque and efficiency, low backlash, and compactness among them. However, much as [Sergei Mishin] likes them, it can be difficult to 3D-print high-torque drives, and it’s sometimes inconvenient to have the input and output shafts in-line. When, therefore, he came across a video of an industrial three-ring reducing drive, which works on a similar principle, he naturally designed his own 3D-printable drive.
The main issue with 3D-printing a normal cycloidal drive is with the eccentrically-mounted cycloidal plate, since the pins which run through its holes need bearings to keep them from quickly wearing out the plastic plate at high torque. This puts some unfortunate constraints on the size of the drive. A three-ring drive also uses an eccentric drive shaft to cause cycloidal plates to oscillate around a set of pins, but the input and output shafts are offset so that the plates encompass both the pins and the eccentric driveshaft. This simplifies construction significantly, and also makes it possible to add more than one input or output shaft.
As the name indicates, these drives use three plates 120 degrees out of phase with each other; [Sergei] tried a design with only two plates 180 degrees out of phase, but since there was a point at which the plates could rotate just as easily in either direction, it jammed easily. Unlike standard cycloidal gears, these plates use epicycloidal rather than hypocycloidal profiles, since they move around the outside of the pins. [Sergei] helpfully wrote a Python script that can generate profiles, animate them, and export to DXF. The final performance of these drives will depend on their design parameters and printing material, but [Sergei] tested a 20:1 drive and reached a respectable 9.8 Newton-meters before it started skipping.
Even without this design’s advantages, it’s still possible to 3D-print a cycloidal drive, its cousin the harmonic drive, or even more exotic drive configurations.

Amiibo Emulator Becomes Pocket 2.4 GHz Spectrum Analyzer
As technology marches on, gear that once required expensive lab equipment is now showing up in devices you can buy for less than a nice dinner. A case in point: those tiny displays originally sold as Nintendo amiibo emulators. Thanks to [ATC1441], one of these pocket-sized gadgets has been transformed into 2.4 GHz spectrum analyzer.
These emulators are built around the Nordic nRF52832 SoC, the same chip found in tons of low-power Bluetooth devices, and most versions come with either a small LCD or OLED screen plus a coin cell or rechargeable LiPo. Because they all share the same core silicon, [ATC1441]’s hack works across a wide range of models. Don’t expect lab-grade performance; the analyzer only covers the range the Bluetooth chip inside supports. But that’s exactly where Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and a dozen other protocols fight for bandwidth, so it’s perfect for spotting crowded channels and picking the least congested one.
Flashing the custom firmware is dead simple: put the device into DFU mode, drag over the .zip file, and you’re done. All the files, instructions, and source are up on [ATC1441]’s PixlAnlyzer GitHub repo. Check out some of the other amiibo hacks we’ve featured as well.

Extremely Rare Electric Piano Restoration
Not only are pianos beautiful musical instruments that have stood the test of many centuries of time, they’re also incredible machines. Unfortunately, all machines wear out over time, which means it’s often not feasible to restore every old piano we might come across. But a few are worth the trouble, and [Emma] had just such a unique machine roll into her shop recently.
What makes this instrument so unique is that it’s among the first electric pianos to be created, and one of only three known of this particular model that survive to the present day. This is a Vivi-Tone Clavier piano which dates to the early 1930s. In an earlier video she discusses more details of its inner workings, but essentially it uses electromagnetic pickups like a guitar to detect vibrations in plucked metal reeds.
To begin the restoration, [Emma] removes the action and then lifts out all of the keys from the key bed. This instrument is almost a century old so it was quite dirty and needed to be cleaned. The key pins are lubricated, then the keys are adjusted so that they all return after being pressed. From there the keys are all adjusted so that they are square and even with each other. With the keys mostly in order, her attention turns to the action where all of the plucking mechanisms can be filed, and other adjustments made. The last step was perhaps the most tedious, which is “tuning” the piano by adjusting the pluckers so that all of the keys produce a similar amount or volume of sound, and then adding some solder to the reeds that were slightly out of tune.
With all of those steps completed, the piano is back in working order, although [Emma] notes that since these machines were so rare and produced so long ago there’s no real way to know if the restoration sounds like what it would have when it was new. This is actually a similar problem we’ve seen before on this build that hoped to model the sound of another electric instrument from this era called the Luminaphone.

Journalists warn of silenced sources
From national outlets to college newspapers, reporters are running into the same troubling trend: sources who are afraid to speak to journalists because they worry about retaliation from the federal government.
This fear, and how journalists can respond to it, was the focus of a recent panel discussion hosted by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the Society of Environmental Journalists. Reporters from a range of beats described how the second Trump administration has changed the way people talk to the press, and what journalists do to reassure sources and keep them safe.
youtube.com/embed/rIyRDQFEl4k?…
For journalist Grace Hussain, a solutions correspondent at Sentient Media, this shift became unmistakable when sources who relied on federal funding suddenly backed out of participating in her reporting. “Their concerns were very legitimate,” Hussain said, “It was possible that their funding could get retracted or withdrawn” for speaking to the press.
When Hussain reached out to other reporters, she found that sources’ reluctance to speak to the press for fear of federal retaliation is an increasingly widespread issue that’s already harming news coverage. “There are a lot of stories that are under-covered, and it’s just getting more difficult at this point to do that sort of coverage with the climate that we’re in,” she said.
Lizzy Lawrence, who covers the Food and Drug Administration for Stat, has seen a different but equally unsettling pattern. Lawrence has found that more government sources want to talk about what’s happening in their agencies, but often only if they’re not named. Since Trump returned to office, she said, many sources “would request only to speak on the condition of anonymity, because of fears of being fired.” As a result, her newsroom is relying more on confidential sources, with strict guardrails, like requiring multiple sources to corroborate information.
For ProPublica reporter Sharon Lerner, who’s covered health and the environment across multiple administrations, the heightened fear is impossible to miss. Some longtime sources have cut off communication with her, including one who told her they were falsely suspected of leaking.
And yet, she added, speaking to the press may be one of the last options left for employees trying to expose wrongdoing. “So many of the avenues for federal employees to seek justice or address retaliation have been shut down,” Lerner said.
This chilling effect extends beyond federal agencies. Emily Spatz, editor-in-chief of Northeastern’s independent student newspaper The Huntington News, described how fear spread among international students after federal agents detained Mahmoud Kahlil and Rümeysa Öztürk. Visa revocations of students at Northeastern only deepened the concern.
Students started asking the newspaper to take down previously published op-eds they worried could put them at risk, a step Spatz took after careful consideration. The newsroom ultimately removed six op-eds but posted a public website documenting each removal to preserve transparency.
Even as the paper worked hard to protect sources, many became reluctant to participate in their reporting. One student, for instance, insisted the newspaper remove a photo showing the back of their head, a method the paper had used specifically to avoid identifying sources.
Harlo Holmes, the chief information security officer and director of digital security at FPF, said these patterns mirror what journalists usually experience under authoritarian regimes, but — until now — have not been seen in the United States. Whistleblowing is a “humongously heroic act,” Holmes said, “and it is not always without its repercussions.”
She urged reporters to adopt rigorous threat-modeling practices and to be transparent with sources about the tools and techniques they use to keep them safe. Whether using SecureDrop, Signal, or other encrypted channels, she said journalists should make it easy for sources to find out how to contact them securely. “A little bit of education goes a long way,” she said.

Covering immigration in a climate of fear
As the federal government ramps up immigration enforcement, sweeping through cities, detaining citizens and noncitizens, separating families, and carrying out deportations, journalists covering immigration have had to step up their work, too.
Journalists on the immigration beat today are tasked with everything from uncovering government falsehoods to figuring out what their communities need to know and protecting their sources. Recently, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) hosted a conversation with journalists Maritza Félix, the founder and director of Conecta Arizona; Arelis Hernández, a reporter for The Washington Post; and Lam Thuy Vo, an investigative reporter with Documented. They discussed the challenges they face and shared how they report on immigration with humanity and accuracy, while keeping their sources and themselves safe.
youtube.com/embed/OPPo0YzKfnA?…
Immigration reporting has grown a lot more difficult, explained Hernández, as sources increasingly fear retaliation from the government. “I spend a lot of time at the front end explaining, ‘Where will this go? What will it look like?’” Hernández said, describing her process of working with sources to ensure they participate in reporting knowingly and safely. She also outlined her own precautions, from using encrypted devices to carrying protective gear, highlighting just how unsafe conditions have become, even for U.S.-born reporters.
Like Hernández, Félix also emphasized the intense fear and uncertainty many immigrant sources experience. Other sources, however, may be unaware of the possible consequences of speaking to reporters and need to be protected as well. “I think when we’re talking about sources, particularly with immigration, we’re talking about people who are sharing their most vulnerable moments in their life, and I think the way that we treat it is going to be very decisive on their future,” she said.
Journalists who are themselves immigrants must also manage personal risk, Félix said, “but the risk is always going to be there just because of who we are and what we represent in this country.” She pointed to the arrest and deportation of journalist Mario Guevara in Georgia, saying it “made me think that could have been me” before she became a U.S. citizen. She recommended that newsrooms provide security training, mental health resources, and operational protocols for both staff and freelancers.
Both Félix and Vo, who work in newsrooms by and for immigrant communities, emphasized the need for journalists to actively listen to the people they cover. “If you’re trying to serve immigrants, build a listening mechanism, some kind of way of continuing to listen to both leaders in the community, service providers, but also community members,” Vo advised. She also recommended that journalists use risk assessments and threat modeling to plan how to protect themselves and their sources.

‘Architects of AI’ Wins Time Person of the Year, Sends Gambling Markets Into a Meltdown#TimePersonoftheYear
‘Architects of AI’ Wins Time Person of the Year, Sends Gambling Markets Into a Meltdown
The degenerate gamblers of Polymarket and Kalshi who bet that “AI” would win the Time Person of the Year are upset because the magazine has named the “Architects of AI” the person of the year. The people who make AI tools and AI infrastructure are, notably, not “AI” themselves, and thus both Kalshi and Polymarket have decided that people who bet “AI” do not win the bet. On Polymarket alone, people spent more than $6 million betting on AI gracing the cover of Time.As writer Parker Molloy pointed out, people who bet on AI are pissed. “ITS THE ARCHITECTS OF AI THISNIS [sic] LITERALLY THE BET FUCK KALSHI,” one Kalshi better said.
“This pretty clearly should’ve resolved to yes. If you bought AI, reach out to Kalshi support because ‘AI’ is literally on the cover and in the title ‘Architects of AI.’ They’re not going to change anything unless they hear from people,” said another.
“ThE aRcHiTeCtS oF AI fuck you pay me,” said a third.
“Another misleading bet by Kalshi,” said another gambler. “Polymarket had fair rules and Kalshi did not. They need to fix this.”
But bag holders on Polymarket are also pissed. “This is a scam. It should be resolved to a cancellation and a full refund to everyone,” said a gambler who’d put money down on Jensen Huang and lost. Notably, on Kalshi, anyone who bet on any of the “Architects of AI,” won the bet (meaning Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg, Lisa Su, and Demis Hassabis), while anyone who bet their products—“ChatGPT” and “OpenAI” did not win. On Polymarket, the rules were even more strict, i.e. people who bet “Jensen Huang” lost but people who bet “Other” won.
“FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK Shayne Coplan [CEO of Polymarket],” said someone who lost about $50 betting on AI to make the cover.
Polymarket made its reasoning clear in a note of “additional context” on the market.
“This market is about the person/thing named as TIME's Person of the Year for 2025, not what is depicted on the cover. Per the rules, “If the Person of the Year is ‘Donald Trump and the MAGA movement,’ this would qualify to resolve this market to ‘Trump.’ However if the Person of the Year is ‘The MAGA movement,’ this would not qualify to resolve this market to ‘Trump’ regardless of whether Trump is depicted on the cover,” it said.
“Accordingly, a Time cover which lists ‘Architects of AI’ as the person of the year will not qualify for ‘AI’ even if the letters ‘AI’ are depicted on the cover, as AI itself is not specifically named.”
It should be noted how incredibly stupid all of this is, which is perhaps appropriate for the year 2025, in which most of the economy consists of reckless gambling on AI. People spent more than $55 million betting on the Time Person of the Year on Polymarket, and more than $19 million betting on the Time Person of the Year on Kalshi. It also presents one of the many downsides of spending money to bet on random things that happen in the world. One of the most common and dumbest things that people continue to do to this day despite much urging otherwise is anthropomorphize AI, which is distinctly not a person and is not sentient.
Time almost always actually picks a “person” for its Person of the Year cover, but it does sometimes get conceptual with it, at times selecting groups of people (“The Silence Breakers” of the #MeToo movement, the “Whistleblowers,” the “Good Samaritans,” “You,” and the “Ebola Fighters,” for example). In 1982 it selected “The Computer” as its “Machine of the Year,” and in 1988 it selected “The Endangered Earth” as “Planet of the Year.”
Polymarket’s users have been upset several times over the resolution of bets in the past few weeks and their concerns highlight how easy it is to manipulate the system. In November, an unauthorized edit of a live map of the Ukraine War allowed gamblers to cash in on a battle that hadn’t happened. Earlier this month, a trader made $1 million in 24 hours betting on the results of Google’s 2025 Year In Search Rankings and other users accused him of having inside knowledge of the process. Over the summer, Polymarket fought a war over whether or not President Zelenskyy had worn a suit. Surely all of this will continue to go well and be totally normal moving forward, especially as these prediction markets begin to integrate themselves with places such as CNN.

With OpenAI investment, Disney will officially begin putting AI slop into its flagship streaming product.#AIPorn #OpenAI #Disney
Disney Invests $1 Billion in the AI Slopification of Its Brand
The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X was an AI-generated trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom stood in a shapeless void alongside Captain America and Reed Richards. It was obvious slop but it was also close in tone and feel of the last five years of Disney’s Marvel movies. As media empires consolidate, nostalgia intensifies, and AI tools spread, Disney’s blockbusters feel more like an excuse to slam recognizable characters together in a contextless morass.So of course Disney has announced it signed a deal with OpenAI today that will soon allow fans to make their own officially licensed Disney slop using Sora 2. The house that mouse built, and which has been notoriously protective of its intellectual property, opened up the video generator, saw the videos featuring Nazi Spongebob and criminal Pikachu, and decided: We want in.
According to a press release, the deal is a 3 year licensing agreement that will allow the AI company’s short form video platform Sora to generate slop videos using characters like Mickey Mouse and Iron Man. As part of the agreement, Disney is investing $1 billion of equity into OpenAI, said it will become a major customer of the company, and promised that fan and corporate AI-generated content would soon come to Disney+, meaning that Disney will officially begin putting AI slop into its flagship streaming product.
The deal extends to ChatGPT as well and, starting in early 2026, users will be able to crank out officially approved Disney slop on multiple platforms. When Sora 2 launched in October, it had little to no content moderation or copyright guidelines and videos of famous franchise characters doing horrible things flooded the platform. Pikachu stole diapers from a CVS, Rick and Morty pushed crypto currencies, and Disney characters shouted slurs in the aisles of Wal-Mart.
It is worth mentioning that, although Disney has traditionally been extremely protective of its intellectual property, the company’s princesses have become one of the most common fictional subjects of AI porn on the internet; 404 Media has found at least three different large subreddits dedicated to making AI porn of characters like Elsa, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Tinkerbell. In this case, Disney is fundamentally throwing its clout behind a technology that has thus far most commonly been used to make porn of its iconic characters.
After the hype of the launch, OpenAI added an “opt-in” policy to Sora that was meant to prevent users from violating the rights of copyright holders. It’s trivial to break this policy however, and circumvent the guardrails preventing a user from making a lewd Mickey Mouse cartoon or episode of The Simpsons. The original sin of Sora and other AI systems is that the training data is full of copyrighted material and the models cannot be retrained without great cost, if at all.
If you can’t beat the slop, become the slop.
“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, said in the press release about the agreement.
The press release explained that Sora users will soon have “official” access to 200 characters in the Disney stable, including Loki, Thanos, Darth Vader, and Minnie Mouse. In exchange, Disney will begin to use OpenAI’s APIs to “build new products” and it will deploy “ChatGPT for its employees.”
I’m imagining a future where AI-generated fan trailers of famous characters standing next to each other in banal liminal spaces is the norm. People have used Sora 2 to generate some truly horrifying videos, but the guardrails have become more aggressive. As Disney enters the picture, I imagine the platform will become even more anodyne. Persistent people will slip through and generate videos of Goofy and Iron Man sucking and fucking, sure, but the vast majority of what’s coming will be safe corporate gruel that resembles a Marvel movie.

Dozens of government websites have fallen victim to a PDF-based SEO scam, while others have been hijacked to sell sex toys.#AI
Porn Is Being Injected Into Government Websites Via Malicious PDFs
Dozens of government and university websites belonging to cities, towns, and public agencies across the country are hosting PDFs promoting AI porn apps, porn sites, and cryptocurrency scams; dozens more have been hit with a website redirection attacks which lead to animal vagina sex toy ecommerce pages, penis enlargement treatments, automatically-downloading Windows program files, and porn.“Sex xxx video sexy Xvideo bf porn XXX xnxx Sex XXX porn XXX blue film Sex Video xxx sex videos Porn Hub XVideos XXX sexy bf videos blue film Videos Oficial on Instagram New Viral Video The latest original video has taken the internet by storm and left viewers in on various social media platforms ex Videos Hot Sex Video Hot Porn viral video,” reads the beginning of a three-page PDF uploaded to the website of the Irvington, New Jersey city government’s website.
The PDF, called “XnXX Video teachers fucking students Video porn Videos free XXX Hamster XnXX com” is unlike many of the other PDFs hosted on the city’s website, which include things like “2025-10-14 Council Minutes,” “Proposed Agenda 9-22-25,” and “Landlord Registration Form (1 & 2 unit dwelling).”
It is similar, however, to another PDF called “30 Best question here’s,” which looks like this:
Irvington, which is just west of Newark and has a population of 61,000 people, has fallen victim to an SEO spam attack that has afflicted local and state governments and universities around the United States.💡
Do you know anything else about whatever is going on here? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at jason.404. Otherwise, send me an email at jason@404media.co.
Researcher Brian Penny has identified dozens of government and university websites that hosted PDF guides for how to make AI porn, PDFs linking to porn videos, bizarre crypto spam, sex toys, and more.Reginfo.gov, a regulatory affairs compliance website under the federal government’s General Services Administration, is currently hosting a 12 page PDF called “Nudify AI Free, No Sign-Up Needed!,” which is an ad and link to an abusive AI app designed to remove a person’s clothes. The Kansas Attorney General’s office and the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Office in California hosted PDFs called “DeepNude AI Best Deepnude AI APP 2025.” Penny found similar PDFs on the websites for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Washington Fire Commissioners Association, the Florida Department of Agriculture, the cities of Jackson, Mississippi and Massillon, Ohio, various universities throughout the country, and dozens of others. Penny has caught the attention of local news throughout the United States, who have reported on the problem.
The issue appears to be stemming from websites that allow people to upload their own PDFs, which then sit on these government websites. Because they are loaded with keywords for widely searched terms and exist on government and university sites with high search authority, Google and other search engines begin to surface them. In the last week or so, many (but not all) of the PDFs Penny has discovered have been deleted by local governments and universities.But cities seem like they are having more trouble cleaning up another attack, which is redirecting traffic from government URLs to porn, e-commerce, and spam sites. In an attack that seems similar to what we reported in June, various government websites are somehow being used to maliciously send traffic elsewhere. For example, the New York State Museum’s online exhibit for something called “The Family Room” now has at least 11 links to different types of “realistic” animal vagina pocket masturbators, which include “Zebra Animal Vagina Pussy Male Masturbation Cup — Pocket Realistic Silicone Penis Sex Toy ($27.99),” and “Must-have Horse Pussy Torso Buttocks Male Masturbator — Fantasy Realistic Animal Pussie Sex Doll.”
Links Penny found on Knoxville, Tennessee’s site for permitting inspections first go to a page that looks like a government site for hosting files then redirects to a page selling penis growth supplements that features erect penises (human penises, mercifully), blowjobs, men masturbating, and Dr. Oz’s face.Another Knoxville link I found, which purports to be a pirated version of the 2002 Vin Diesel film XXX simply downloaded a .exe file to my computer.
Penny believes that what he has found is basically the tip of the iceberg, because he is largely finding these by typing things like “nudify site:.gov” “xxx site:.gov” into Google and clicking around. Sometimes, malicious pages surface only on image searches or video searches: “Basically the craziest things you can think of will show up as long as you’re on image search,” Penny told 404 Media. “I’ll be doing this all week.”
The Nevada Department of Transportation told 404 Media that “This incident was not related to NDOT infrastructure or information systems, and the material was not hosted on NDOT servers.This unfortunate incident was a result of malicious use of a legitimate form created using the third-party platform on which NDOT’s website is hosted. NDOT expeditiously worked with our web hosting vendor to ensure the inappropriate content was removed.” It added that the third-party is Granicus, a massive government services company that provides website backend infrastructure for many cities and states around the country, as well as helps them stream and archive city council meetings, among other services. Several of the affected local governments use Granicus, but not all of them do; Granicus did not respond to two requests for comment from 404 Media.
The California Secretary of State’s Office told 404 Media: “A bad actor uploaded non-business documents to the bizfile Online system (a portal for business filings and information). The files were then used in external links allowing public access to only those uploaded files. No data was compromised. SOS staff took immediate action to remove the ability to use the system for non-SOS business purposes and are removing the unauthorized files from the system.” The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said “WDFW is aware of this issue and is actively working with our partners at WaTech to address it.” The other government agencies mentioned in this article did not respond to our requests for comment.

Scientists Discover the Earliest Human-Made Fire, Rewriting Evolutionary History

Subscribe to 404 Media to get The Abstract, our newsletter about the most exciting and mind-boggling science news and studies of the week.Humans made fires as early as 400,000 years ago, pushing the timeline of this crucial human innovation back a staggering 350,000 years, reports a study published on Wednesday in Nature.
Mastery of fire is one of the most significant milestones in our evolutionary history, enabling early humans to cook nutritious food, seek protection from predators, and establish comfortable spaces for social gatherings. The ability to make fires is completely unique to the Homo genus that includes modern humans (Homo sapiens) and extinct humans, including Neanderthals.
Early humans may have opportunistically exploited wildfires more than one million years ago, but the oldest known controlled fires, which were intentionally lit with specialized tools, were previously dated back to about 50,000 years ago at Neanderthal sites in France.
Now, archaeologists have unearthed the remains of campfires ignited by an unidentified group of humans 400,000 years ago at Barnham, a village near the southern coast of the United Kingdom.
“This is a 400,000-year-old site where we have the earliest evidence of making fire—not just in Britain or Europe, but in fact, anywhere else in the world,” said Nick Ashton, an archaeologist at the British Museum who co-authored the study, in a press briefing held on Tuesday.
“Many of the great turning points in human development, and the development of our civilization, depended on fire,” added co-author Rob Davis, also an archaeologist at the British Museum. “We're a species who have used fire to really shape the world around us—in belief systems, as well. It's a very prominent part of belief systems across the world.”
Artifacts have been recovered from Barnham for more than a century, but the remnants of this ancient hearth were identified within the past decade. The researchers were initially tipped off by the remains of heated clay sediments, hydrocarbons associated with fire, and fire-cracked flint handaxes.
But the real smoking gun was the discovery of two small fragments of iron pyrite, a mineral commonly used to strike flint to produce sparks at later prehistoric campfires such as the French Neanderthal sites.

“Iron pyrite is a naturally occurring mineral, but through geological work in the area over the last 36 years, looking at 26 sites, we argue that pyrite is incredibly rare in the area,” said Ashton. “We think humans brought pyrite to the site with the intention of making fire.”The fire-starters were probably Neanderthals, who were known to be present in the region at the time thanks to a skull found in Swanscombe, about 80 miles northeast of Barnham. But it’s possible that the fires were made by another human lineage such as Homo heidelbergensis, which also left bones in the U.K. around the same period. It was not Homo sapiens as our lineage emerged in Africa later, about 300,000 years ago.
Regardless of this group’s identity, its ability to make fire would have been a major advantage, especially in the relatively cold environment of southern Britain at the time. It also hints that the ability to make fire extends far deeper into the past than previously known.
“We assume that the people who made the fire at Barnham brought the knowledge with them from continental Europe,” said co-author Chris Stringer, a physical anthropologist at the Natural History Museum. “There was a land bridge there. There had been a major cold stage about 450,000 years ago, which had probably wiped out everyone in Britain. Britain had to be repopulated all over again.”
“Having that use of fire, which they must have brought with them when they came into Britain, would have helped them colonize this new area and move a bit further north to places where the winters are going to be colder,” he continued. “You can keep warm. You can keep wild animals away. You get more nutrition from your food.”

Although these humans likely had brains close in size to our own, the innovation of controlled fire would have amplified their cognitive development, social bonds, and symbolic capacities. In the flickering light of ancient campfires, these humans shared food, protection, and company, passing on a tradition that fundamentally reshaped our evolutionary trajectory.“People were sitting around the fires, sharing information, having extra time beyond pure daylight to make things, to teach things, to communicate with each other, to tell stories,” Stringer said. “Maybe it may have even fueled the development of language.”
“We've got this crucial aspect in human evolution, and we can put a marker down that it was there 400,000 years ago,” he concluded.
