Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked

wired.com Kim Zetter 2026-01-01 23:09:07

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, and military forces around the world–that made any communication secured with the algorithm vulnerable to eavesdropping. When the researchers publicly disclosed the issue in 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which developed the algorithm, advised anyone using it for

The newest piece of infrastructure coming to Starbase, Texas, isn’t a launch mount or a booster. It’s a water pipeline, and who can hook up a tap (and on what terms) will shape the definition of “company town.” The new line, which will stretch from Brownsville to the newly incorporated city of Starbase, will replace the truck-hauled deliveries SpaceX has used to transport potable water for its employees and on-site residents.

The Air Force Wants to Use Cybertrucks for Target Practice

The U.S. Air Force seems to have finally found a good use for Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertrucks: blowing them up with missiles. The War Zone was first to spot that America’s aerial defense wing plans to purchase two of Tesla’s rolling heaps of metal for “use as targets for precision munitions during testing and training.” Associated contracting documents seem to imply that America’s “enemies” may soon be using Cybertrucks and that, as a result, the Air Force needs to practice shooting at them.

And yet, they have not only survived but thrived for more than 25 million years, outcompeting faster, stronger and smarter animals. How is such a thing possible?

Everything to Remember Before Watching ‘Alien: Earth’

One of the best things about the new show, Alien: Earth, is that you do not need to be an Alien superfan to enjoy it. It’s not dependent on the plots of the seven-plus films in the franchise and is only connected to them in a few tangential ways. For now, at least. Nevertheless, there are a few things worth keeping in mind as we get closer to the August 12 debut. Here they are. The overview The Alien franchise began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s film, Alien.
