„Kritische infrastruktur“ der tages

Neu und super im internetz der dinge, bekwem von überall zugreifbar: wind- und solarkraftwerke in der EU.

[…] haben die IT-Forscher 8547 europäische Systeme aufgespürt, die aus dem Internet erreichbar sind, obwohl sie es nicht sein sollten. Erreichbar waren etwa Admin-Oberflächen und Control-Panels […] handelt es sich dabei um eine Untergrenze […] Exponierte Schnittstellen wie das Webinterface einer Windkraftanlage zeigen etwa Daten zu aktueller Produktion an, aber auch Kontrollelemente zum Starten, Stoppen oder Zurücksetzen der Anlage […] In einem Fall war der Hinweis zu lesen, dass der Standardnutzername „root“ sei […] physisch robust, aber digital exponiert […]

Auch weiterhin viel spaß mit dem schutz der so genannten „kritischen infrastruktur“. Gut, dass die aus presse, funk und glotze bekannten pösen russischen häcker in den ganzen vergangenen jahren wohl etwas wichtigeres zu tun hatten. Cyber cyber!

Ach ja, einer noch:

Jakkaru-Geschäftsführer Marlon Starkloff hat im August zudem eine Schwachstelle in dem Cloudsystem zu Sungrow-Wechselrichtern entdeckt. Ein Admin-Zugang war nicht ausreichend gesichert und ermöglichte weitreichenden Zugriff, potenziell auf alle Wechselrichter des Anbieters

Weia! Da wird das abschalten oder sabohtieren eine fingerübung für dreizehnjährige nachwuxhäcker. Falls man ein skript haben möchte: das angelernte neuronale netzwerk hilft bestimmt.

Ich kann nur empfehlen, einige dinge nicht ans internetz zu hängen.

Eine völlig neue form der informazjonsfreiheit

ist die private Handynummer des BND-Vize-Präsidenten seit Jahren im Internet zu finden. Das ergeben Recherchen von WDR und SZ. Ebenso öffentlich einsehbar: private E-Mail-Adressen und seine private Wohnanschrift in Bayern. Die Informationen stammen aus einem Datenleak eines US-amerikanischen Online-Auktionshauses, einem Marktplatz für Kunst, Antiquitäten und Sammlerstücke. Die Plattform wurde im Jahr 2020 von Hackern angegriffen. Kurz darauf landeten rund 3,4 Millionen Kunden-Informationen im Internet, darunter die von Baehr. Sie sind bis heute einsehbar. Das Auktionshaus hatte seine Nutzer damals per E-Mail über den Sicherheitsvorfall und die abhanden gekommenen Daten informiert […] Laut den Informationen von WDR und SZ nutzte Baehr die geleakte Handynummer bis mindestens kurz vor dieser Veröffentlichung. Die Reporter erreichten ihn am 9. September unter der Nummer […] Das Rechercheteam sprach mit mehreren Beamten und Militärs aus dem deutschen Sicherheitsbereich, die in ihren Telefonen allein die im Netz geleakte Nummer als mobile Erreichbarkeit von Baehr gespeichert hatten. Sie gaben an, Baehr nur aus ihrem beruflichen Umfeld zu kennen und privat keinen Umgang zu pflegen

Anrufen sinnlos, der werte herr geheimdienstvize und generalmajor der bundeswehrmacht hat inzwischen eine andere nummer. Der kennt sich als geheimdienstvize ja auch damit aus, wie wichtig es ist, dinge geheimzuhalten. Und was man schon alles so aus überwachungsdaten schließen könnte, wenn man es nicht schafft, einen pösen trojaner auf die smarte wanze aufzuspielen. 😁️

Gut, dass diese fiesen und von Wladimir Putin finanzierten russischen häcker wohl in den letzten jahren wichtigeres zu tun hatten, als sich um BRD-geheimdienste und die bundeswehrmacht zu kümmern.

When the #Shortage is the #Strategy

#Prices keep rising — but not because things are hard to make. Companies found a trick during the #pandemic: limit #supply, raise prices too high, and never lower them again. Economists call this "rockets and feathers" — prices shoot up fast, then fall slowly. Since 2020, corporate profits have surged while #wages barely moved. S&P 500 profit margins hit an all-time high in 2026. CEOs openly admit they won't cut prices first — that would start a price war. Many industries have been caught fixing prices: car parts, drugs, eggs, even rent-setting #algorithms. When the Supreme Court struck down #tariffs, companies got $166 billion back — but prices stayed high. The #money went to #profits and executive bonuses. What can you do? Buy less, buy later, compare real costs, avoid brand markups. In Croatia, a #consumer #boycott cut retail sales by 53% in one day and forced #price cuts. Companies only fear one thing: that we stop paying.

#Review: Spider-Man: Brand New Day – A #Hero for the #Surveillance State?

source: themoviedb.org/movie/969681-sp…

At first, #Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks like another emotional #superhero #story. Peter Parker has lost everything. No one remembers him, not even MJ. He searches for his #identity while trying to protect #NewYork. The #film spends much of its time on #trauma, #loneliness, and #mental #health.

But behind this personal story lies a political #message. The film presents mass surveillance as something necessary and even heroic. This is where the #movie becomes much more interesting—and much more troubling.

Spider-Man uses powerful surveillance #technology to watch the city. He collects video from many security cameras. He scans every face to find criminals. Even the #police admit that this is probably #illegal. Still, the film treats these actions as acceptable because Spider-Man is one of the "good guys."

Jean Grey—now portrayed by Sadie Sink (She kept her role a huge secret beforehand for marketing reasons.) in the Marvel Universe—falls into the facial recognition trap set by Spider-Man's surveillance program. If, by the end, you feel sorry for Jean Grey because the script wants you to and you’ve let yourself be swept up in the drama, then please remember that at the beginning of the movie, Jean possessed an old man and sent him running into the street so he would be brutally run over. She’s a mass murderer who’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She could easily achieve this goal with her incredible superpower, but she makes it unnecessarily complicated by first freeing the Scorpion, which is what draws Spider-Man's attention to her in the first place.

This idea has a long #history in popular culture. The strongest comparison is George Orwell's 1984. #Orwell imagined a #society where every citizen is watched. Surveillance is presented as a tool for #security, but it destroys #freedom. In Brand New Day, the situation is different because Spider-Man is a hero, not a dictator. Yet the basic question remains the same: Who watches the watchers? If one person can see everyone, who controls that person?

The film never really asks this #question. Instead, it assumes that surveillance is good as long as the right people #control it. This is one of its biggest #weaknesses.

Another interesting comparison is The Dark Knight. In Christopher Nolan's film, #Batman creates a machine that can monitor every mobile phone in Gotham. Lucius Fox calls it too dangerous because it gives one person unlimited power. Batman agrees. He uses the system only once to catch the #Joker and then destroys it immediately.

Brand New Day takes a very different approach. Spider-Man's surveillance technology is not treated as a #moral #problem. Instead, it becomes a normal #tool of #crime fighting. The ethical debate that makes The Dark Knight so powerful is almost completely missing.

The transcript also compares Spider-Man's work with modern surveillance technology. Peter Parker works closely with the Department of Damage Control and helps collect huge amounts of personal data. The review argues that this creates a positive image of a close relationship between #government institutions and powerful technology companies.

This makes the film feel surprisingly modern. Today, governments and private companies collect enormous amounts of digital information. Cameras, facial recognition, smartphones and artificial #intelligence make surveillance easier than ever before. The movie reflects this reality but rarely questions it.

One of the most interesting contradictions is #PeterParker himself. He wants #privacy for his own life. He hides his identity and wants to escape public attention. At the same time, he watches everyone else and scans thousands of faces. The film never fully explores this contradiction.

This creates an uncomfortable message. Privacy seems important for the hero but less important for ordinary citizens.

The citizens themselves hardly have a voice. They mostly watch, cheer and accept Spider-Man's actions without #discussion. They never decide whether they want to live in such a #society. They simply #trust the hero.

As #entertainment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers impressive visuals and emotional performances. However, its political ideas deserve much more attention. The film normalizes mass surveillance while presenting it as an act of kindness and #responsibility. It replaces difficult ethical questions with emotional storytelling.

Unlike 1984, it does not warn us about surveillance. Unlike The #DarkKnight, it does not seriously question its use. Instead, it asks the #audience to trust the hero completely.

That may be the film's most surprising message. The greatest danger is not an #evil government forcing surveillance on its people. The greater danger is that we willingly accept surveillance because it is carried out by someone we like.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day succeeds as an emotional superhero #drama. As a political film, however, it raises fascinating questions without giving convincing answers.
