Bless the person who gave me the tip “when you’re not sure of the answer, ask ‘what would Jesus do, minus one?‘”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

This is the story of the government's unlawful effort to deport migrant children under the cover of night during a holiday weekend.

It’s also the story of how district court judges are watching each other grapple with the administration—and adapting in response: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

It turns out every Nexar dashcam came with an AWS key that too high privileges. Which let that individual camera upload its own footage, but also let an attacker access everyone else's footage too. Terabytes of data. Nexar fixed after I contacted www.404media.co/this-company...
The hacker said they were able to access one of Nexar’s AWS buckets, a type of database run by Amazon Web Services, in which they found more than 130 terabytes of data. That included raw recordings from peoples’ dashcams and GPS data, the hacker said. The issue, the hacker said, was that embedded in every Nexar dashcam was a key to this database which had too high privileges, allowing anyone with the key not just to upload their own camera’s data, but also access that of everyone else. Nexar fixed this issue after being contacted by 404 Media this week. Fernandez-Ruiz said these recordings were users’ private backups.
