🚨 BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s driver’s license has leaked. A new dark-web service is selling scans of his and 153M+ U.S. and Canadian driver’s licenses.
Timestamps on the scans match victims’ visits to Hertz rental counters and cannabis dispensaries. Evidence points to idscan[.]net, an ID-verification vendor used by Hertz, Target, FedEx and 1,000+ dispensaries.
The FBI opened an investigation on Tuesday. Nexus claims it has been exfiltrating for over a year and added ~400,000 licenses in 24 hours.

🇳🇴 Norway's privacy regulator wants smart glasses pulled from sale. As a first step, Norway's Digitalisation Minister Karianne Tung is weighing a ban on facial recognition of strangers in public rather than on the glasses themselves, and is setting up an expert group to propose rules this autumn for the cameras and AI now built into glasses, earbuds and caps.

‼️ BREAKING: A major breach at Nordic/Benelux IT supplier Dustin has led it to take systems offline. Webshops are down, and orders and deliveries have stopped.
We have reason to believe Dustin also stores highly confidential government data, possibly exposing secret networks and hardware. They are a major supplier of IT hardware and software to government bodies across the Nordics and Benelux.

❗️A UK class action is seeking £2bn from Apple over its tracking prompts.
Since 2021 apps must ask permission before tracking Apple users — but those rules were less strict for Apple's own apps, says Hausfeld, which filed the claim on 3 September for thousands of UK developers. Apple denies any double standard.
Apple says it is "bound by the exact same requirements as all developers".

A new documentary floats the idea that Elon Musk stole the 2024 election with satellite lasers.
The evidence, per Alex Gibney's film: an ex-partner recalling that Musk promised to unleash an "anomaly in the matrix," and one text onscreen — "I have ten thousand lasers in space."
The reality: those lasers are optical crosslinks that pass traffic between satellites. Vote tabulators are air-gapped and, in Georgia and North Carolina, barred by law from touching the internet.

‼️ BREAKING: Serbia targeted activists with Pegasus spyware. At least 14 people, including student protesters and opposition figures, were infected.
Citizen Lab confirmed one iPhone was infected with NSO Group’s Pegasus through an iMessage zero-click exploit.
Two NoviSpy infections were also confirmed. One Serbian student's Android phone was confiscated during police questioning. Amnesty International's Security Lab then found a new NoviSpy variant on it, rebuilt specifically to evade detection.
Serbia's intelligence office calls the findings "trivial sensationalism."
What led to these findings, are Apple's threat notifications, sent on Aug. 13, to users in 110 countries, prompting 12 of the Serbian targets to contact SHARE Foundation.
Serbian parliamentary elections are in October.

Dutch police used a decoy "grandpa" to catch a scamming bank-helpdesk courier.
They baited phishing sites with a fake pensioner's details.
The scam call came a day later.
The Amsterdam court then acquitted the courier who showed up.
The judges found that the decoy knew from the first call that the fake bank employee's story was scripted, so he was never actually deceived.
Under Dutch law, no deception means no completed fraud.
Prosecutors charged completed fraud, not attempt.
The court said an attempt charge could have stuck, but it wasn't on the indictment.
