Woke up to like 100 tags on this iPhone implant. Which is found in this video here: https://t.co/9khbpmUQEH
I don’t speak Russian, but I do have a first grade language fluency in hardware. So lets take a look!

They've cut the simcard and attached it that way, so removed the housing.

There is normally not a convenient place for an implant, but they swapped the battery for a smaller one.

This is a technique I have also used in power supplies when needing a little extra space for... activities 😈

Unlike what is explained in the video, the lower part of the battery has been replaced by a same module than used for the the upper part. Allowing them to get enough space. pic.twitter.com/0LpUOpSrRC

After being released from detention, Olga Kerimova, election campaign chief for opposition candidate & @navalny associate @SobolLubov, got her iPhone back. It came with an upgrade: a crudely onboarded bugging and tracking device.

Demo of a work in progress. I\u2019m looking for help with writing payloads. Come chat with me at @defcon if you\u2019d like to collaborate.

Power adapter. Silent infection. Cross platform. Not just Apple hardware.

This was before I got into hardware design. Not very good, but enough for a proof of concept.

Maybe they may know that they turn off the phones and just want to know gps location... for that when they turn off the phone the implant is still running on the battery ... it's desperate but smart to come later and stop the whole world

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.

Ok, I’ve told this story a few times, but maybe never here. Here we go. 🧵👇
I was about 6. I was in the car with my mother. We were driving a few hours from home to go to Orlando. My parents were letting me audition for a tv show. It would end up being my first job. I was very excited. But, in the meantime we drove and listened to Rush’s show.
There was some sort of trivia question they posed to the audience. I don’t remember what the riddle was, but I remember I knew the answer right away. It was phrased in this way that was somehow just simpler to see from a kid’s perspective. The answer was CAROUSEL. I was elated.
My mother was THRILLED. She insisted that we call Into the show using her “for emergencies only” giant cell phone. It was this phone:
I called in. The phone rang for a while, but someone answered. It was an impatient-sounding dude. The screener. I said I had the trivia answer. He wasn’t charmed, I could hear him rolling his eyes. He asked me what it was. I told him. “Please hold.”
Wish I had the audio of Rush Limbaugh telling me off on the phone on his show when I was six. In the meantime, RIP.
