Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The FBI listed some indicators of compromise (IoCs) in the PSA for consumers to tell if they were impacted. But the average person isn’t running network detection infrastructure in their homes, and cannot hope to understand what IoCs can be used to determine if their devices generate “unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.” Here, we will attempt to help give more comprehensive background information about these IoCs. If you find any of these on devices you own, then we encourage you to follow through by contacting the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.</p><p>The FBI lists these IoC:</p><p>- The presence of suspicious marketplaces where apps are downloaded.</p><p>- Requiring Google Play Protect settings to be disabled.</p><p>- Generic TV streaming devices advertised as unlocked or capable of accessing free content.</p><p>- IoT devices advertised from unrecognizable brands.</p><p>- Android devices that are not Play Protect certified.</p><p>- Unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.</p><p>The following adds context to above, as well as some added IoCs we have seen from our research."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/fbi-warning-iot-devices-how-tell-if-you-are-impacted" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/fbi-</span><span class="invisible">warning-iot-devices-how-tell-if-you-are-impacted</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IoT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SmartObjects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartObjects</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/InternetOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfThings</span></a></p>

Kent Pitman<p>Yikes, from an article that contains a lot more detail, but just to get your attention as to the impact part:</p><p>«The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.</p><p>The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence.</p><p>…</p><p>"Exploitation of this backdoor would allow hostile actors to conduct impersonation attacks and permanently infect sensitive devices such as mobile phones, computers, smart locks or medical equipment by bypassing code audit controls."</p><p>The researchers warned that ESP32 is one of the world's most widely used chips for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, so the risk is significant.»</p><p>People worried about this topic might also "enjoy" the recent Netflix series Zero Day.</p><p>And not to get too far afield, but hopefully it also didn't escape notice that there have been broad firings of qualified people in the US government for reasons related not to their technical skill or ability to protect our nation from issues like this, but because of irrelevant details of their private lives or personal leanings on issues of having fair and competent government, helping the needy, defending individual human freedom and dignity, or avoiding mass death in myriad ever-more-likely ways.</p><p><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/undocumented-commands-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu</span><span class="invisible">rity/undocumented-commands-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueTooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTooth</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WiFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WiFi</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TechNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechNews</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/vulnerability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vulnerability</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IoT</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/InternetOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>networks</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phones</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BackDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BackDoor</span></a></p>

Colin Cogle :verified:<p>I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.</p><p>But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet. Okay, so that’s not the main reason. I did it because I wanted a fancy APRS-enabled weather station without the price tag, so in the spirit of ham radio and hacking, I set out to build my own. </p><p>Then I hooked it up to Mastodon as <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/@weather" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>weather</span></a></span> because… okay, I don’t have a good reason for that.</p><p><a href="https://colincogle.name/blog/byo-weather-station" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">colincogle.name/blog/byo-weath</span><span class="invisible">er-station</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hacking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IoT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/InternetOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/PowerShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PowerShell</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/RTLSDR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RTLSDR</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/tutorials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tutorials</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a></p>
