Pew Research Center:NEW
A survey of US adults finds 56% support banning social media for under-16s, while 21% oppose; majorities across demographic and partisan groups support a ban — Nearly six-in-ten U.S. adults support banning anyone under the age of 16 from using social media sites, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
Majority of Americans support banning social media for kids under 16
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/07/01/majority-of-americans-support-banning-social-media-for-kids-under-16/
Nearly six-in-ten U.S. adults support banning anyone under the age of 16 from using social media sites, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The survey comes as governments around the world weigh new restrictions on teens’ use of social media.
About one-in-five adults oppose banning those under 16 from using social media. And roughly a quarter are unsure, according to the survey conducted May 26-June 1, 2026.
Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom are among the countries that have set or are considering a minimum age of 16 for social media use. In the United States, lawmakers in California are considering similar legislation.
Many social media platforms currently require users to be at least 13 to create an account.

The Department of Homeland Security is investigating a breach of its platform, which federal, state, and local governments and law enforcement use to share intelligence, with one senior lawmaker warning that the information spill could risk national security.
News sites Nextgov, which first broke news of the incident, and Bleeping Computer report that DHS officials are probing a cyberattack on its Homeland Security Information Network, or HSIN, which allows government agencies and local officials to plan, coordinate, and share information and intelligence about major events and respond to emergencies.

WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) – The Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday it was investigating a breach in an unnamed information-sharing network.
In a statement, DHS said there had been a “recent cyber incident” involving an “unclassified legacy information sharing environment” but did not provide further details and did not respond to follow-up questions.

Kysely: Suomalaiset eivät luota yritysten tietoturvaan – asiantuntija antaa vinkit, miten tarkistaa palvelun luotettavuus
Suomalaisten mielestä yritysten pitäisi kantaa paremmin vastuunsa tietoturvasta. Tätä mieltä oli yli 80 prosenttia vastaajista DNA:n teettämässä Digitaalinen elämä -kyselytutkimuksessa. Asiantuntija muistuttaa, että myös kuluttajilla on vastuu, mitä palveluita he käyttävät. Jokainen voi kuitenkin tarkistaa, että digipalvelussa on huomioitu tietoturva.

Maksupäätteillä vaanii uusi vaara: Tästä on kyse relay-hyökkäyksessä
Relay-hyökkäyksiä on havaittu enenevässä määrin eri puolilla Eurooppaa.
Maksupäätteillä vaanii uusi vaara: Tästä on kyse relay-hyökkäyksessä
https://www.is.fi/digitoday/tietoturva/art-2000012123688.html
Asiakas asettaa maksukorttinsa lukijaan. Sitten hän näpyttelee pin-koodinsa koneeseen, ja kortinlukija varmentaa asiakkaan maksukortin käytön.
Samassa kortinlukijaan asennettu laite tai ohjelmisto sieppaa tapahtuman varmenteen ja ohjaa sen eteenpäin rikollisen käsissä olevalle korttipäätteelle. Rikollinen pystyy seuraavaksi tekemään esimerkiksi verkkokauppaoston tai käteisnoston – ja maksu veloitetaan kokonaan kuluttajan tililtä.
Näin toimii niin kutsuttu relay-hyökkäys. Kyseisenkaltaisia hyökkäyksiä on viime syksyn jälkeen havaittu eri puolilla Eurooppaa, ja hyökkäysten kohteeksi on joutunut myös pohjoismaalaisia turisteja.
Nordea kertoi asiakkaisiinsa kohdistuneista relay-hyökkäyksistä viime keskiviikkona. Tiedotteen mukaan ”kourallinen” sen pohjoismaalaisista asiakkaista on joutunut viime syksyn jälkeen kyseisenkaltaisten hyökkäysten kohteeksi.
Hyökkäysten yleistyminen on sidottu osaltaan lähimaksutoiminnon leviämiseen. Lähimaksutoiminto mahdollistaa esimerkiksi sen, että maksupäätteeseen asennettavan haittaohjelman sijaan rikollinen kaappaakin maksuvarmennesignaalin ulkoisen NFC-signaaleja kaappaava laitteen avulla.
NFC-signaalien kaappaamiseksi on kehitetty myös puhelinsovelluksia. Teknologiauutisiin keskittyvä Bleeping Computer -julkaisu kertoi viime vuonna sadoista Android-sovelluksista, jotka hyödynsivät Androidin Host Card Emulation -toimintoa maksukorttien lähimaksudatan emuloimiseen tai varastamiseen.
Idea muistuttaa autovarkauksista tuttua relay-hyökkäystä, jossa rikollinen ikään kuin onkii auton avaimen lähettämän signaalin ja välittää sen autolle erillisten laitteiden avulla saaden auton ovet avautumaan.
Relay-hyökkäysten kehittymisen seurauksena niiltä suojautuminen ei ole yksinkertaista. Joillain puhelimilla lähimaksutoiminto on mahdollista kytkeä pois päältä, mutta tämäkään ei auta, jos korttia käyttää haitallisen ohjelmiston varustamassa laitteessa.
Nordean Annukka Multasen mukaan käyttörajoituksilla ja maakohtaisilla korttirajoituksilla pääsee kuitenkin jo pitkälle

Like AI data centers, they’ve become a hot political issue at the local level, fueling public outrage and organized campaigns from coast to coast.
There’s also no shortage of citizens who prefer a more direct-action approach. Armed with garbage bags, spray paint, and even chainsaws, a not insignificant number of privacy vigilantes have taken the fight to Flock, using any means to free their neighborhoods of the ominous surveillance poles.
Sovern kicked off the campaign late in December of 2025, where he encouraged his supporters to “reach out to the local governments and demand that these systems are taken down.”

A 15-year-old boy in Japan has been arrested for using artificial intelligence to help him build a programme that forcibly deleted tens of thousands of accounts on an anime streaming service.
Police described the incident as a deliberate and persistent cyberattack that forced a month-long service suspension
The high school student from Tokorozawa, near Tokyo, was accused of fraudulent obstruction of business after sending false commands to the servers of Bandai Namco Filmworks, a subsidiary of Japan’s largest toymaker Bandai Namco Holdings, on 4 November 2025.
The attack triggered the mass de-registration of 46,812 accounts on the company’s Bandai Channel streaming service without the knowledge or consent of those users, Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department said.
The student admitted to the allegations, telling investigators he had written the initial source code himself before turning to ChatGPT to refine and complete it.

“DON’T TRACK ME, BRO…” Exposed without a single login screen, Flock’s AI-powered Condor cameras were broadcasting live footage and full admin controls to anyone who looked, according to an investigation highlighted by the Independent Institute. The organization warned this “unnecessarily exposed Americans’ secretly tracking users‘ sensitive personal data to theft by hackers and foreign spies.” Condor’s own product specifications confirm automated human tracking — the whistleblower’s concern about cameras that follow people is not hypothetical.
While Flock insists data-sharing decisions belong to local agencies, cities like Santa Cruz and Flagstaff discovered their camera data had already reached federal entities before anyone tightened policies or canceled contracts, per NPR. The officer’s reported experience — professional consequences for speaking up — fits a well-documented pattern of institutional resistance to surveillance app criticism, even if the specific case awaits independent confirmation.
If your city is among those 5,000-plus jurisdictions, your movements have very likely already been logged. The question worth asking your local officials: do they actually understand what they purchased? For those seeking alternatives, home security systems offer privacy-respecting options that keep data under your own control.

Key takeaways:
China and Russia discussed legal, electronic, cyber, and physical measures targeting SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network.
The plans appeared in 2023 military forum materials obtained by The Insider, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde.
Starlink matters because it supports Ukrainian military and civilian communications during Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The proposals could escalate tensions in orbit and raise risks for global satellite communications and space security.

There’s a hot new phrase bouncing around police departments across the United States: “drone-as-first-responder.”
From small-town Indiana to New York City, cops around the country are embracing autonomous surveillance drones as the latest innovation in policing. While you might hear about the occasional puppy found in the woods with a police drone, those feel-good stories provide excellent cover for their true purposes: gathering intelligence on peaceful protests, surveilling minority communities, and intimidating activists.
