Attacke auf Politik und Journalismus: Signal-Phishing gegen Julia Klöckner erfolgreich
Laut dem Verfassungsschutz soll das Phishing über den Messenger Signal so erfolgreich sein, dass „zahlreiche Signal-Gruppen im parlamentarischen Raum derzeit von den Angreifern nahezu unbemerkt ausgelesen werden“. Auch der Account der CDU-Bundestagspräsidentin wurde übernommen.

When I heard the news that Paramount Skydance had won the bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and its assets, like CNN and HBO, I cringed. I know how this movie ends.
Inside the Texas prison system where I’ve spent nearly three decades, I have personally witnessed the harm of the government choosing the media the people consume. Propaganda can turn people into individuals they would have once despised.
I earned a college degree during my incarceration. One of my classmates was an elderly guy from Mexico who went by the name Grasshopper. He was an avid admirer of Cesar Chavez, the progressive leader of the movement for farmworkers’ rights in the 1960s (this was long before the recent allegations against Chavez came to light).
Grasshopper and I believed the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan were out of control, and that important issues like housing and health care were being neglected. We felt the country needed new leadership and supported many of the progressive ideas that were being proposed by then-candidate Barack Obama. We agreed on pretty much everything.
Nearing the end of Obama’s first term, the right-wing Texas prison system decided to change the TV stations it made available to the incarcerated population. Without any advance warning, gone was our access to news programming from networks like CNN and PBS. We were now restricted to viewing the newly installed Fox News Channel and Trinity Broadcasting Network’s conservative evangelical Christian content.
Within a matter of weeks, I noticed the new programming transforming Grasshopper’s political views. He began regurgitating the talking points from right-wing commentators and Fox News prime-time hosts like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
Propaganda can turn people into individuals they would have once despised.
Suddenly, President Obama had become the anti-Christ — the worst president in the history of this country. Fringe conspiracy theories like Michelle Obama being a biological man and the Affordable Care Act rationing out medical care became deeply held beliefs. Our once cordial political discussions turned into heated debates, with me having to constantly challenge what Grasshopper had heard on the latest episode from O’Reilly’s “no spin zone.”
My friend had “seen the light” and was now a die-hard conservative — and not because he’d been persuaded by new information or good-faith arguments for a different political philosophy, but because prison officials had elected to force-feed him nonsense, without the option to change the channel. It was difficult for me to believe I was even speaking with the same individual I’d known just six months prior.
Grasshopper was far from the only person to undergo this ideological shift. I noticed other incarcerated individuals’ political beliefs undergo similarly dramatic transformations after the news programming change.
It wasn’t just presidential politics. We were housed at the prison that was home to Texas’ execution chambers. Before CNN and PBS were removed, a significant number of the guys would hold vigils on scheduled execution days. We would all gather in a circle, say a few words about the things we were grateful for and allow representatives from different faiths to say a prayer for the condemned person and their family.
Once those networks were replaced by Fox and Trinity, our vigil grew smaller and smaller. When I asked people who had stopped coming to vigils why, some of them said they now felt the condemned deserved to die. Influenced by the “eye for eye” messaging they constantly heard in sermons on Trinity, my cohorts now favored capital punishment.
Additionally, incarcerated people adopted the belief of “law and order” commentators that everyone in prison had forfeited their right to be treated humanely. Overnight, guys began viewing themselves as they were portrayed on Fox — as animals. Incarcerated individuals stopped demanding basic necessities like soap and toilet paper from the prison administration, and would get angry at anyone who did. “You are in prison,” they would tell the newly-labeled troublemaker, “not the Hilton Hotel.”
Incarcerated people stopped believing they deserved soap and toilet paper. People on the outside may stop believing they deserve democracy.
By 2024, there were more incarcerated individuals in Texas prisons openly supporting Trump than I had ever seen supporting a Republican candidate in the six presidential elections that have occurred during my incarceration. Most of their views were shaped by misleading accusations. They were convinced, for example, that immigrants here illegally were raping and killing Americans at an alarming rate.
This is the same level of power the Trump administration wants to steer into the hands of its allies. They’re eager for Paramount Skydance and the billionaire Ellison family that controls it to acquire Warner Bros., which owns CNN (Paramount previously acquired CBS News and steered its coverage to Trump’s liking).
At a time of unprecedented infringements on constitutional rights, this powerful media empire could significantly diminish our capacity and willingness to combat authoritarianism.
It can achieve this not just through news but entertainment — the messages embedded into kids’ programs, or the glorification of war and normalization of police states in movies. It all adds up. Incarcerated people stopped believing they deserved soap and toilet paper. People on the outside may stop believing they deserve democracy.
You might think this can’t happen in the free world — people have far more media options available, plus they can go outside, look around, and come to their own conclusions about the state of American society.
That may be true for some. It’s also true for some on the inside, like me. Those with sufficient energy and curiosity find ways to inform themselves. But there are elderly people who mostly see the world through their television screens, rural Americans who imagine cities they’ve never visited as war zones, and “low-information voters” who don’t have the desire or time to dig beyond the surface of the information ecosystem.
That’s enough to not only swing elections but to overhaul the way we see our government, our society, and ourselves.

Tutti i dispositivi difettosi erano di marchi americani come Cisco, Fortinet e Juniper comprati durante la tregua di Obama, per apparecchiature nazionali di telecomunicazione, difesa, governo, infrastrutture di base e industriali, corrispondenti direttamente alle comunicazioni militari, ai centri di comando per le emergenze e agli hub di comunicazione regionali.
A seguito di un'ispezione, è emerso che tutti questi problemi agli hub di comunicazione erano causati da guasti hardware di base, e non da vulnerabilità software di livello superiore o attacchi virus. Il problema derivava da un meccanismo di attivazione di basso livello integrato nei dispositivi hardware. Quando questo meccanismo veniva attivato da remoto, bloccava immediatamente l'hardware sottostante, paralizzando di fatto l'intero dispositivo.
Stranamente, quando si è verificato il malfunzionamento, l'Iran aveva già preventivamente interrotto la sua connessione internet internazionale, rendendo irraggiungibile il gateway globale. Ciò suggerisce che questi strumenti e apparecchiature non avessero affatto bisogno di essere connessi a internet e che gli Stati Uniti avessero i mezzi per manipolarli.

For decades, the internet has functioned on a simple and democratic principle: all data is equal. Whether the internet users are
For decades, the internet has functioned on a simple and democratic principle: all data is equal. Whether the internet users are checking a local weather report or streaming a global blockbuster, the internet’s pipes treat that information the same way. However, a new piece of legislation from the European Commission, the Digital Networks Act (DNA), is set to rewrite these rules.
While it sounds like a dry piece of technical policy, the DNA has sparked a massive firestorm involving tech giants, telecom companies, and digital rights activists. At its core, the debate is about who controls the online experience and who pays for the infrastructure that makes it possible.
The Digital Networks Act is a sweeping legislative proposal designed to modernize Europe’s telecommunications sector. Think of it as a massive renovation project for the continent’s digital highways. The goal is to ensure that every home in Europe has access to ultra-fast gigabit internet and 5G by 2030.
To achieve this, the Act proposes changing how internet service providers (ISPs) operate, how they are regulated, and, most controversially, how they interact with large content platforms such as Google, Netflix, and Meta.
European policymakers argue that the continent is falling behind the US and China in digital infrastructure. They believe the current system is broken because a handful of massive Big Tech companies generate the majority of internet traffic but do not pay for the physical cables and towers that carry it.
Supporters of the Act believe that by allowing telecom companies to consolidate and find new revenue streams, Europe will finally have the sovereignty and cash flow needed to build a world-class network. They see it as a way to create a fairer digital economy where the companies profiting most from the internet help foot the bill for its maintenance.
While the goals of a better internet sound great, the methods proposed in the DNA have triggered a massive backlash from civil society groups and digital rights advocates. Groups like European Pirates, European Digital Rights (EDRi), and various consumer watchdogs warn that the Act hides several poison pills that could permanently change the internet for the worse.
Here are the primary reasons why activists are sounding the alarm:
1. The End of Net Neutrality
The biggest concern is the potential death of Net Neutrality. This is the rule that prevents the internet providers from slowing down or blocking specific websites. Critics argue that the DNA introduces dispute-resolution mechanisms that are just a fancy way for ISPs to charge websites a toll to reach users.
If a website does not pay, the ISP could technically slow down its traffic. This creates a pay-to-play environment. For a student or a small business owner, this means the next great app or social platform might never succeed because it cannot afford the entry fee to be in the fast lane. The internet would stop being a level playing field and start looking like cable TV, where the subscriber/user only sees what the provider allows.
2. The Double Tax on Consumers
Digital rights advocates point out a major flaw in the fair share argument. If big platforms are forced to pay billions of euros to telecom companies, they are not just going to lose that money. They will pass those costs directly to the customer.
If the users are already paying for their internet service provider (ISP) for an internet connection. If the DNA goes through, one might see subscription prices for platforms like Netflix or Disney rise to cover the new network fees. Essentially, the consumer would be paying for the same internet twice: once to get the connection and once to use the services.
3. Privacy and Mass Surveillance
To manage fast lanes and slow lanes, internet providers would need to become much more intrusive. Currently, the internet service providers mostly move data from point A to point B without looking too closely at what it is.
Under the new proposed rules, providers would need to identify exactly what kind of traffic is being sent to decide if it belongs in a priority lane. This requires deep packet inspection, a technology that allows companies to peek at user data. Activists warn that this creates a massive privacy risk and provides the technical tools necessary for government surveillance or corporate data mining.
4. The Digital Omnibus Trap
One of the most criticized aspects of DNA is how it is passed on. It is part of what critics call a Digital Omnibus, a giant bundle of different laws squeezed into a single package.
Civil societies argue this is a sneak attack on digital rights. By bundling the DNA with other technical regulations, policymakers are making it harder for the public and independent regulators to scrutinize the fine print. Over 120 organizations have warned that this streamlining could weaken existing laws that protect our data privacy and ensure that Artificial Intelligence is used ethically, either accidentally or intentionally.
5. Killing Innovation
The internet became what it is today because anyone with a laptop and a good idea could start a website that reached the whole world. Digital rights advocates argue that the DNA protects the giant telecom companies at the expense of the future.
If the internet becomes a place where users need a team of lawyers and a massive budget just to negotiate with ISPs, the garage startup era in Europe will be over. Instead of fostering Innovation, the Act could lock in the dominance of the current tech giants, who are the only ones rich enough to pay the new tolls.
The Digital Networks Act is being sold as a technical upgrade, but the opposition from civil society makes it clear that it is actually a political choice. It is a choice between an Open Internet that belongs to everyone and a Managed Internet that belongs to the highest bidder.
As the debate continues in the European Parliament, the focus remains on whether Europe can build 5G towers without undermining the digital rights that protect its citizens. For now, advocates are clear: the price for faster internet should not be our privacy, our wallet, or our freedom to browse an open web.
