Harte Kritik am Thüringer Polizeigesetz: „Verfassungsrechtlich ist das nicht tragbar“
Elezioni e Politica 2026 reshared this.
Thüringen soll ein neues Polizeigesetz bekommen, das eine Vielzahl von neuen Befugnissen einführt. Zahlreiche Expert*innen haben sich mit dem Entwurf auseinandergesetzt. Aus ihrer Sicht ist er mit dem Grundgesetz nicht vereinbar.

I membri del Parlamento europeo (eurodeputati) hanno votato per la terza volta in quattro mesi una deroga alla direttiva UE sulla privacy elettronica. Sebbene la proposta sia stata approvata, il voto rappresenta comunque un successo perché rafforza la posizione del Parlamento contro la sorveglianza di massa, in contrasto con la più pericolosa normativa CSA, e perché sancisce la protezione della crittografia.

Non sono d'accordo su come l'articolo abbia esposto i fatti. Quando viene estesa la validità di CC 1.0 nonostante la maggioranza abbia votato contro solo perché sono state variate le regole di votazione e ricorrendo a procedura di emergenza io non ci vedo nulla di positivo, solo una presa per il culo. Il segnale inviato dal parlamento europeo è che siamo succubi delle multinazionali americane.

This is a late announcement, but one those in the know would already know:
During our July 26th meeting, the Pirate National Committee voted to endorse independent candidate Jacob Anders’s campaign for Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District.
Anders, a historian, author, digital ethics researcher, and community advocate from Tullahoma, TN, is a candidate for Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District, running on a “Humanity First” campaign.
His priorities include universal healthcare, a $1,000 monthly Universal Basic Income, strong climate action, protecting workers and families, ending endless wars, codifying abortion rights, and digital/data rights reforms.
He also wishes to uncap the house!
Jacob joined us for two episodes of Talk the Plank! (with a third TBA later) and two meetings, the 7/26 meeting (which was the meeting of endorsement, though many complained it was a rushed meeting) and 8/2 (which was largely spent making up for the question asking portion previously missed).
Jacob joins Michael Veloff, who received his endorsement a week prior, as our endorsed candidates for the 2026 United States Congressional cycle. This brings our total number of endorsements for the 2026 election cycle to seven.
We wish Jacob all the luck in this race! And for interested Tennessee Pirates: Jacob Anders inquired about getting a Tennessee Pirate Party active and represented during Pirate National Committee meetings. If you’re interested in getting involved, the wheels have begun to turn on the road towards the TNPP!
Jacob Anders, Victory is Arrrs

The Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party (MKKP) has always been about more than just politics; they are a creative community dedicated to producing actual results—like painting broken sidewalks or building bus stops—rather than just reacting to “who said what”. However, as many of you know, they are currently facing a serious financial challenge.Despite their efforts and their previous elections’ results (2,6% in the 2019 European elections and 3,2% in 2022 national parliamentary elections) they have unfortunately not reached 1% of the votes. Due to this, the law requires them to pay back their entire campaign budget.
We have three major updates on our Pirate friends’ situation and how we can work together to keep the “Dog” running.
The good news is that MKKP have officially started paying back their debt. The total amount they owe the government is approximately 1.8 million EUR. Thanks to their supporters, they have successfully completed their first major transaction of roughly 425,000 EUR.
This brings their remaining debt down to 1.4 million EUR. Even better, because of this significant payment, the interest rates have dropped dramatically, making the path forward much more manageable.
They aren’t just sitting back. They are also fighting this matter legally.
MKKP’s legal team has filed both formal and substantive complaints regarding the debt and the way the law has been applied.
The formal complaints argue that the authorities failed to present the evidence that triggered the procedure, did not properly inform the party when the procedure began, and denied MKKP the opportunity to exercise its right to comment before the decision was made.
The substantive complaints challenge the law itself, arguing that it is incompatible with Hungary’s Fundamental Law because the payment obligation creates a “chilling effect” on political participation. According to MKKP, the stated purpose of the law is to deter opportunistic parties that enter elections solely for financial gain. In practice, however, the law has the opposite effect: rather than discouraging opportunistic parties that exploit legal loopholes, it disproportionately penalises parties that have spent years building a genuine voter base and participating in democratic life.
Through these legal challenges, MKKP is seeking not only to contest its own debt but also to challenge the broader impact of the law on political engagement.
To survive this, they need to reach beyond Hungary’s borders. They are launching two ways for our international friends to help:
The Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party believes in a Hungary where people can laugh at problems instead of feeling hopeless. They have spent years using their resources for the community—from operating help tents for refugees to redecorating trash piles so they get picked up. Now, they need that community to help them stay alive.

A Life-Saving Vest for our Pirate friends in Hungary: How can you help?
The Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party (MKKP) has always been about more than just politics; they are a creative community dedicated to producing actual results—like painting broken sidewalks or building bus stops—rather than just reacting to “who said what”. However, as many of you know, they are currently facing a serious financial challenge. Despite their efforts and their previous elections’ results (2,6% in the 2019 European elections and 3,2% in 2022 national parliamentary elections) they have unfortunately not reached 1% of the votes. Due to this, the law requires them to pay back their entire campaign budget.We have three major updates on our Pirate friends’ situation and how we can work together to keep the “Dog” running.
1. Their Debt Update
The good news is that MKKP have officially started paying back their debt. The total amount they owe the government is approximately 1.8 million EUR. Thanks to their supporters, they have successfully completed their first major transaction of roughly 425,000 EUR.This brings their remaining debt down to 1.4 million EUR. Even better, because of this significant payment, the interest rates have dropped dramatically, making the path forward much more manageable.
2. Taking It to the Courtroom
They aren’t just sitting back. They are also fighting this matter legally.MKKP’s legal team has filed both formal and substantive complaints regarding the debt and the way the law has been applied.
The formal complaints argue that the authorities failed to present the evidence that triggered the procedure, did not properly inform the party when the procedure began, and denied MKKP the opportunity to exercise its right to comment before the decision was made.
The substantive complaints challenge the law itself, arguing that it is incompatible with Hungary’s Fundamental Law because the payment obligation creates a “chilling effect” on political participation.

Through these legal challenges, MKKP is seeking not only to contest its own debt but also to challenge the broader impact of the law on political engagement.
3. A Life-Saving Vest: International Support Options
To survive this, they need to reach beyond Hungary’s borders. They are launching two ways for our international friends to help:
- Their Global Webshop is open: The webshop is accessible to everyone in the world! The store is selling both digital and non-digital products. Whether you want something to wear or something to download, every single purchase directly helps our Hungarian members to repay the campaign money to the government.
- The “WhyDonate” Candidate Campaign: Unfortunately, if they don’t manage to crowdfund the amount as a political party, the debt might fall on the shoulders of the individual candidates. This is why a group of our candidates has formed a special team to launch a WhyDonate campaign. They are raising funds to assume the debt themselves, but they’ve made a beautiful pledge: if these donations are not needed for the debt, they will be donated to Hungarian charity organizations.
Why It Matters
The Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party believes in a Hungary where people can laugh at problems instead of feeling hopeless. They have spent years using their resources for the community—from operating help tents for refugees to redecorating trash piles so they get picked up. Now, they need that community to help them stay alive.How you can help right now:
- Spread the word by sharing this blog
- Donate directly
- Buy their digital products (English) or in German
- Donate to the candidates
Let’s show them that the only sensible choice in Hungary isn’t going anywhere.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted on a derogation of the EU’s ePrivacy Directive for the third time in 4 months. While the proposal passed, the vote nonetheless remains a triumph because it reinforces the Parliament’s position against mass surveillance on the more dangerous CSA Rregulation, and because it enshrines the protection of encryption.

Arizona – AZPP IT Committee met the previous Saturday and got the VPS to run the server and Claude AI to make things easier while working on the PayloadCMS. Working still on meeting with a candidate for Navajo President and an outreach event in Phoenix. Currently, the AZPP is having a special election to fill the Director of Indigenous Outreach position.
Blase Henry, Captain for the AZPP and candidate for AZ’s 17th LD State Rep, is officially a valid Write-In candidate for the race.
The AZPP have put out a new dating policy that will hopefully prevent drama from happening. Twitch got back to the AZPP the other day and requested more information to confirm our identity and be seen as a political entity on Twitch so they can then start livestreaming our first Game Night. Finally, Arizona continued discussing their cash bail reform plank.
Florida – the FLPP had a meeting to ratify their bylaws.
Illinois – The campaign for Mitch Davilo for Midlothian Village Board of Trustees will kick off later this month, with signature collection planned to begin come September. The ILPP will meet twice this month, presently slated for August 9th and 23rd.
Maryland – Concerns regarding the Democratic process in the MDPP was addressed during the meeting. Both Lookout and Swarmcare Director have offered to assist whoever needed or asked. Upon clearing the air, the origin of the concerns stem from a longtime supporter, and was largely found to be not-the-complete-picture as Maryland explained their side of the story and organizational process. The MDPP, the current iteration of which is largely tied to the work of the Lightfoots, Joel and Steen, is appreciated for taking the time to explain the situation for the board.
Observer Members – Four states not actively apart of the PNC as voting members, namely Alabama, Maine, North Carolina and Tennessee, had reps that were in attendance for the meeting.
Pennsylvania – Drew Bingaman announced today, August 3rd via Facebook, that the campaign did not meet the signature requirement. We thank Drew for his valiant efforts and wish Captain Emeritus Bingaman all the best in his future endeavors. The Pirates shall continue to have your back.
Pirate National Committee – Due to the new membership count for PNC member states, only four (4) are required to meet quorum. This number is reflective of our eight (8) member states, and will immediately change back to five (5) for quorum upon another state’s ascension. Last night’s meeting saw attendance from Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts and Ohio.
Pirate National Conference – Locations are currently being discussed for the 2027 Pirate National Conference. Our next meeting should see a decision made for at least the 2027 location.
Tennessee – During the meeting last week, Jacob Anders received the Pirate Party’s endorsement, though many felt the meeting was a rushed affair, thus Jacob returned to answer any and all questions those in the party still had to ask. While not pure consensus, plenty felt this was a much needed rectification. A question regarding the formation of a Tennessee Pirate Party was asked, and answered. It is likely a movement towards forming a Tennessee Pirate Party is underway.
Texas – The TXPP failed to rectify their issues which brought them down to probationary status, and thus they have been dropped from their status as a Pirate National Committee voting member. This brings the current voting member total to 8.
Thus concludes all the latest news, and more, from the Pirate National Committee and United States Pirate Party. You can check out last night’s livestream here.

Dear Friend of Press Freedom,
I’m Lauren Harper, the first Daniel Ellsberg chair on government secrecy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), and welcome to The Classifieds. Read on to learn about the week’s top secrecy news.
In what appears to be its latest effort to obfuscate the human costs of the ongoing Iran war, the Pentagon has stopped adding casualties that occurred on or after July 7, 2026, to its “Operation Epic Fury” casualty database — adding them instead to a new database ambiguously titled “Overseas Operations.”
The numbers reported in the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System came under scrutiny in July when four service member deaths were abruptly removed from the Epic Fury tally. Despite initially attributing the removal to “site errors,” the Pentagon didn’t revise the total. Instead, it launched an entirely new dataset, ostensibly because Operation Epic Fury had officially concluded — despite a resumption in hostilities.
The real motivation for launching a new database may have less to do with administrative clarity and more to do with bypassing the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional authorization for troops to remain in a combat zone after 60 days, unless Congress formally declares war — something lawmakers have repeatedly split over regarding Iran.
This cynical numbers game has nothing to do with the war being over. All bifurcating the data does is force the public to hunt down and manually add numbers across multiple databases to get an accurate total. As I told The Hill, the middle of a war is the worst time for the Pentagon to lower its standards for accountability. The American public — and military families — have a fundamental right to know the true cost of the conflict.
If we’re having this much trouble getting a clear answer on how many Americans have been killed or wounded in Iran, finding out how many Iranian civilians have died will be even harder. That’s because earlier this year, the Department of Defense effectively terminated its congressionally mandated program to prevent and respond to civilian deaths resulting from U.S. military action.
Iran isn’t the only area where the DOD is hiding critical information. At the same time it’s playing shell games with war casualties, the Pentagon continues to hide its legal rationale for the ongoing (and ineffective) strikes on alleged drug boats, restrict press access, persecute whistleblowers, and attempt to shield huge swaths of unclassified records from the Freedom of Information Act and public scrutiny.
In denying former President Joe Biden’s motion to block the FOIA release of his audio recordings with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has established a key precedent regarding the disclosure of special counsel files — including the Jack Smith report.
For background, the interview tapes were obtained by Special Counsel Robert Hur as part of his investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents. The Heritage Foundation then filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Justice Department for the release of the tapes, and the appeals court agreed, placing the public interest in a high-profile investigation above executive privacy claims.
This ruling directly impacts an ongoing effort by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University to obtain Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report into President Donald Trump’s illegal hoarding of classified documents at the end of his first term. While Judge Aileen Cannon permanently enjoined that report’s release, the Knight Institute is citing the Hur precedent in its appeal.
If public interest requires transparency for Hur’s recordings of Biden, that exact same standard must apply to Smith’s findings on Trump.

Flying Eagle: il RAT Android che spiava per conto della «polizia cinese» finisce nelle mani sbagliate
Un archivio da 388 MB chiamato semplicemente “中国龙.zip” (Chinese Dragon) circola da mesi sui canali Telegram del cybercrime cinese. Dentro c’è il codice sorgente completo di Flying Eagle, un framework criminale che non è “solo” un trojan Android, ma una vera piattaforma industriale per costruire e gestire spyware mobile su larga scala — la stessa che ha alimentato una finta app della “polizia cinese” usata per svuotare conti Alipay e WeChat. Ora che il codice è trapelato, i ricercatori di Hunt.io e dell’analista indipendente NetAskari hanno mappato 170 server ancora attivi legati all’infrastruttura, mentre tra gli stessi criminali è scoppiato un regolamento di conti che ha già partorito un erede, Night Dragon.Una app “governativa” che rubava le password
La storia riemerge alla luce del sole a giugno 2026, quando il National Cybersecurity Notification Center cinese ha diffuso un avviso pubblico su una applicazione fraudolenta che si spacciava per “公安一网通办”, un servizio online delle Pubbliche Sicurezze Provinciali (GongAn). L’app veniva distribuita dal dominio110gongan[.]come, una volta installata, era in grado di rubare dati di pagamento e prendere il controllo remoto del dispositivo. Le autorità hanno raccomandato a chi l’avesse installata di rimuoverla, scansionare il device, cambiare le password degli account coinvolti, congelare i canali di pagamento in caso di movimenti sospetti e sporgere denuncia.Quell’app era solo la punta dell’iceberg. Dietro c’era Flying Eagle: un builder che permette a un operatore di scegliere nome, icona e testo di adescamento dell’app, indicare l’indirizzo C2, e generare in automatico un APK Android firmato e pronto alla distribuzione, partendo da due template base. I campioni prodotti dal builder vengono rilevati dai motori antivirus come SpyNote, famiglia di RAT Android nota da anni, e sfruttano i servizi di accessibilità di Android per l’escalation di privilegi e l’iniezione di gesture — controllo pressoché totale del dispositivo della vittima.

Ciò che rende Flying Eagle diverso da un comune RAT è la sua natura di prodotto “chiavi in mano” per operatori criminali con competenze tecniche limitate. L’archivio trapelato contiene un intero deployment Docker con server nginx, PHP, MySQL e un WebSocket server Node.js, oltre a toolchain complete per la compilazione Android (Java 11 e Android SDK build tools), template di phishing pronti — servizi di streaming per adulti in cinese, cloni di TikTok, applicazioni finanziarie e persino landing page per finti progetti di pubblica utilità che rimandano all’operatore statistiche di visite e download — e un certificato TLS di default.Gli URL di callback verso il server di comando e controllo, incorporati in ogni APK generato, sono cifrati con AES-128-CBC usando IV, password e salt hardcoded, con chiave derivata tramite PBKDF2-SHA1 a 65.536 iterazioni. I commenti nel codice sorgente rivelano che questi parametri servono a mantenere la compatibilità con il binario Windows .NET originale (
EaodWorker.exe), confermando che la versione Docker trapelata è una porting diretto di uno strumento più vecchio. Per abbassare l’entropia del pacchetto ed eludere l’analisi statica, il builder inietta inoltre tra 2,8 e 3,5 MB di JSON Base64 travestito da cache di configurazione SDK legittima.La caccia ai 170 server
Per ricostruire l’estensione reale dell’infrastruttura, i ricercatori hanno sfruttato un’impronta digitale ricorrente: i server Flying Eagle rispondono con un redirect HTTP 302 verso l’endpoint HTTPS, includono l’headerStrict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000e, prima che carichi il branding personalizzato dell’operatore, mostrano brevemente il titolo di pagina “AdminPro”. Incrociando questa firma con il certificato TLS di default incluso nell’archivio trapelato, sono stati identificati 158 server tramite il titolo della pagina e altri 12 tramite il certificato, per un totale di 170 server attivi negli ultimi 30 giorni di telemetria — una cifra che i ricercatori stessi definiscono conservativa, perché esclude i server che non restituiscono esattamente il redirect atteso. È importante sottolineare che questo numero descrive impronte infrastrutturali, non necessariamente vittime, operatori o C2 confermati uno per uno.Buona parte dell’infrastruttura, inclusi i due IP citati nell’avviso ufficiale cinese (
207.56.30.188e207.56.30.194), è ospitata su AS54801 (Zillion Network Inc.), un provider di Hong Kong che compare più volte come piattaforma preferita per il malware mobile in questo ecosistema. Uno dei server ha addirittura mostrato, temporaneamente, un pannello di gestione dispositivi che indicava utenze “guadagna facile” tipiche di operatori criminali a scopo di lucro.Ladri tra ladri: quando i criminali si smascherano a vicenda
Il canale Telegram Yx科技 (Yx Technology), creato ad aprile 2026, non ha esordito con un semplice annuncio: i primi messaggi erano istruzioni passo passo su come usare strumenti di accesso remoto per svuotare conti Alipay e WeChat Pay, con le vittime definite spregiativamente “pesci” (鱼) e servizi di cash-out offerti al 20-50% della transazione. Il 26 aprile il canale ha distribuito gratuitamente il pacchetto Flying Eagle sotto forma dell’archivio Chinese Dragon.Da qui la parte più “da romanzo”: un secondo canale, SQLRCE0, ha iniziato a far girare messaggi secondo cui un attore non identificato avrebbe compromesso l’infrastruttura clienti di Yx Technology, sottraendo dati relativi a 189 server Flying Eagle. La rivendicazione non è stata confermata in modo indipendente dai ricercatori, ma il caos generato — codice rubato che diventa a sua volta merce rubata — è di per sé indicativo della frammentazione e della sfiducia reciproca dentro questi ecosistemi criminali cinesi.
Night Dragon: l’erede è già online
Il 23 giugno 2026 lo stesso canale SQLRCE0 ha lanciato Night Dragon, un nuovo kit di controllo Android indipendente. I ricercatori hanno individuato al momento solo due server associati, entrambi ospitati — non a caso — sullo stesso provider hongkonghese AS54801. Uno dei pannelli esposti mostrava 46 dispositivi “online” e 29 “attivi”, tutti geolocalizzati in Cina, ma non è stato possibile stabilire se si tratti di vittime reali o di dati di test. Una seconda versione del framework risultava già in sviluppo al 12 luglio. È bene chiarire un possibile equivoco: questo Night Dragon del 2026 non ha nulla a che vedere con l’omonima campagna di spionaggio cinese documentata da McAfee nel 2011 — qui si parla di crimeware finanziario, non di intelligence offensiva.Due righe per i difensori
- Diffidare sistematicamente di APK “governativi” o “di pubblica utilità” distribuiti fuori dal Play Store: il sideloading resta il principale vettore di infezione per questa famiglia di minacce.
- Monitorare le richieste di attivazione dei servizi di accessibilità Android da parte di app non aziendali: è il meccanismo chiave usato per l’escalation di privilegi e il controllo remoto.
- Per i team threat intelligence, il fingerprint “AdminPro” + redirect 302 + certificato di default è riutilizzabile per identificare infrastrutture derivate dallo stesso codice trapelato, comprese eventuali nuove fork oltre a Night Dragon.
- Il caso dimostra ancora una volta come i leak di codice sorgente criminale — volontari o meno — accelerino la proliferazione di varianti, più che ridurre la minaccia: ogni fork riparte da una base già matura.
