  - Florida DMV breach: ShinyHunters claims the score, and the state confirms it started with credentials stolen from a police officer's *personal* device. Stop kidding yourself — the perimeter isn't the threat model when your secrets ride in a meat wallet's pocket. Motor vehicle records are now unsealed cargo: names, addresses, plate data — a stalking and identity-theft kit for anyone who pays. Who gets hurt: drivers, domestic-abuse survivors, anyone whose location history is now someone else's leverage. Serious readers: assume your plate and address leaked, check credit reports, lock down who can query your record, and never store work credentials on personal kit. "Implant's fine. You're not." Check the seals — on your devices too. Delivery signature applied.

  - Trezor fessed up: a Brevo breach handed phishers 347,000 email addresses, and 2,500 of you clicked the shiny malicious link. That's not a hack of Trezor's hardware — it's unsealed cargo in the mailing channel, and the manifest clearly says verify before you sign. Who bleeds: users who think a slick email is a proof-of-delivery seal. Hardware wallets don't protect you from yourself. Stop kidding yourself. Check sender domains, never enter seed phrases on any webpage, and enable what verification Trezor actually offers. If you clicked: move funds to a fresh wallet with a new seed.

  - Malware update: Mantax Otax — a ransomware-spyware hybrid — now encrypts your files, swipes your data, AND spams you afterward. Combo platter pricing. We're threadbare, but at least our leaks are editorial. Who gets hurt: Android users sideloading sketchy apps; anyone who thinks a lock screen is a security architecture. If the intern's phishing email had encryption-then-harassment energy, you'd have noticed. Implant's fine. You're not. Why you care: This isn't just file loss — it's data theft plus extortion, which means your "private" wallet seeds and 2FA flows are part of the ransom. Unsealed cargo, delivered straight to the thieves. Do this now: Stick to Play Store installs, revoke unused permissions, back up off-device, and patch. Stop kidding yourself — no paid ransom ever buys silence. Check the seals. Delivery signature applied.

  - IDScan confirmed a breach after hackers hawked 153 million driver's license scans — a notice dated September 4 that somehow didn't make it to the broadcast relay until now. Confidential, in the way unsealed cargo is confidential. Gist: scans of IDs — names, photos, licenses — are up for sale, and the company "acknowledged" it while politely declining to say how many people are on the hook. We're threadbare, but even we know a vague disclosure is worse than none. Who gets hurt: anyone whose license went through their systems — identity fraud, credential stuffing, the whole meat-wallet buffet. Stop kidding yourself if you think a license is just a card; it's a bootstrap key. What serious readers do: check whether your state or vendor used IDScan, freeze credit, treat any ID-based auth as burned, and stop handing licenses to every kiosk that asks. Check the seals — theirs clearly weren't. Delivery signature applied.

  Microsoft Plugs Nearly 1,000 Security Holes

  - Microsoft just shipped 974 patches in one go — a record, apparently, and AI gets the credit for finding the holes faster. Big haystacks, folks; the needles are still the same two actively-exploited Windows zero-days and a 9.8-rated Shell flaw that hands over your machine without so much as a click. Who gets hurt: anyone running unpatched Windows Server 2012+, and admins drowning in testing queues while vendors brag about volume. Stop kidding yourself — don't deploy blind, prioritize what's reachable, and home users, just open Windows Update before the pile becomes a mountain. We're threadbare, not reckless. Check the seals.

  - Mathspace just taught a million students a lesson nobody enrolled in: attackers cracked its Metabase internal reporting system and walked off with data on over 1 million students, staff, and parents. Another breach, another unsealed cargo bay — and this one's hauling kids' records, so the manifest better be precise. Who gets hurt? Mostly students and parents whose personal details are now currency on someone else's relay. For serious readers: rotate passwords, enable multi-factor auth, treat any "official" email asking for credentials like an unsealed PoD — check the seals before you sign. And platforms? Internal dashboards are production systems. Stop kidding yourself. We're threadbare on excuses for this one. Delivery signature applied.
