Hey, we’re angry! But what, if any, strategic value did this attack have?
French officials blame Iran for refrigerator hacks, vow retaliation
French officials on Monday accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards of responsibility for the cyberattacks that knocked out commercial refrigerators and freezers across France last month, saying there would be consequences for Iran.
The hacks that struck hundreds of French supermarkets in early October were among the most disruptive cyberattacks of the Iran war that began in February, a conflict that has been marked by scattered incidents of alleged digital disruption. These have included hacks against the Los Angeles transit system in March, against US water treatment plants in July and against ships bound for the United States in August.
… The effects of the October 11 hacks were dramatic. Some refrigerators had the temperature turned up so high they caught fire. In the hours following the incident, supermarket employees carted boxes full of perished meat and melted ice cream into giant trash containers. The attack's total costs could add up to tens of millions of euros nationwide, one French supermarket owner estimated.
Clearly, lots of subscribers. I wonder if that will change post-elections?

Trump Media cashes in on high-speed access to social media posts
Trump Media and Technology Group reported Monday that revenue surged 205% in the third quarter, which it says was “primarily driven” by selling a high-speed feed of posts on Truth Social.
The “Truth API,” as the company calls it, allows news organizations, Wall Street trading firms and other services to pay $60,000 to $100,000 per month for a direct feed of posts on the social network. Critics have slammed the feed as an attempt to profit from President Donald Trump’s posts.

A free Windows tool can sanitize documents before you upload them to AI
If you've ever asked a chatbot to summarize a contract for you, there's a possibility that it passed along your client's name, email, and phone number. Unfortunately, it's easy to overlook how much sensitive information you're handing over when you upload documents to LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok.
You should consider using services like Philter Desktop. This free Windows tool strips out important details from your file before it leaves your PC. It's one way to use AI on real work with fewer privacy concerns.
