A software engineer’s earnest effort to steer his new DJI robot vacuum with a video game controller inadvertently granted him a sneak peak into thousands of people’s homes.
While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how the robot communicated with DJI’s remote cloud servers. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other vacuums across 24 countries. The backend security bug effectively exposed an army of internet-connected robots that, in the wrong hands, could have turned into surveillance tools, all without their owners ever knowing.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. This particular case is taking place in Canada where a convicted sex offender named Manfred Sperling with a long record of violent offenses against women is serving a life sentence in a men’s prison.
The only recognition we seem to get is for being some sort of weirdo nation.
German politicians like to talk about Zeitenwende – the country’s great turning point in its defence policy since the invasion of Ukraine. And it has certainly turned: towards spending billions of taxpayer euros on drones that cannot fly in frontline situations, seemingly cannot hit their targets, and whose largest investors sit not in Berlin or Brussels, but in Silicon Valley boardrooms with direct lines to the White House and CIA. If this is European defence sovereignty, one could wonder what this dependency actually looks like. And if Europe really is serious about this change.
Seems there’s a lesson for Carney in this. But I’m sure his China pivot will smooth things out.
HALIFAX — The head of Canadian Armed Forces says a policy aimed at attracting highly skilled foreign military members is getting a boost from the federal Immigration Department as the military scrambles to fill jobs amid a protracted personnel shortage.
Gen. Jenni Carignan, chief of defence staff, said Monday the military already has a program in place to attract military members with specialized skills, including pilots who already know how to fly F-35 fighter jets, which Canada is in the process of buying from the United States.
Carignan gave the example of a fighter pilot from the Netherlands who wants to move to Canada, saying the federal Immigration Department would now offer some help

Even as the 2026 Winter Games were winding up, a city in northern Japan began its own winter sports competition with ambitions that it will one day become an Olympic event: snowball fighting.
Snowball fights, or yukigassen in Japanese, are a seasonal childhood pastime in many northern countries, but in Sobetsu, Hokkaido, it’s a major event, and corporate sponsors and teams compete from across Japan and overseas.
