🚨 BREAKING: Porn site Motherless, hosting tens of thousands of suspected abuse videos, has been running on Dutch company Nforce's servers since at least 2024.

Nforce topped TU Delft's 2020 ranking of Dutch hosting providers with the most CSAM detected. Elimeleh denies responsibility, stating Nforce only provides infrastructure and has no access to client systems.

A joint NOS / Nieuwsuur investigation confirms the site is hosted by Nforce, based in Steenbergen, NL.

Nforce director Simon Shlomi Elimeleh has been servicing Motherless for over a decade.

The site pulls roughly 62 million monthly visitors and brands itself as a "moral free file host where anything legal is hosted forever."

Findings:
- Offlimits received 142 reports covering 12,000 videos in 2026 alone. 25 cases involved child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- NOS analyzed 20,000 videos posted between May 1 and 7, 2026. "Incest" was the third most popular tag after "teen" and "amateur," totaling roughly 60 million views in one week.
- The single most-viewed clip of the past week (4.2M views) was tagged with disturbing words.
- CNN previously documented 20,000 "sleep" / "eyecheck" videos showing men lifting women's eyelids to confirm they were drugged or unconscious.

Dutch regulator ACM calls the situation "concerning" but admits it cannot pull content offline itself. The Dutch Public Prosecutor refused to confirm or deny any active investigation. Motherless' parent company Kick Online Entertainment S.A. (Luxembourg) was already fined by UK regulator Ofcom in February 2026 for missing age-verification controls.

The site is still online.

🚨 Apple is reportedly considering killing the $599 base MacBook Neo to push the effective entry price up by $100 due to AI-driven DRAM and chip shortages squeezing supply, per Tim Culpan.

The move follows the same playbook used for the Mac mini last week, which jumped from $599 to $799 after the 256GB option was dropped.

‼️🚨 French threat actor group ShinyHunters has been wreaking havoc by affecting 8,809 educational institutions after compromising the Canvas learning management system.

Canvas powers coursework, assignments, grades, messaging, and more for millions of students and educators.

Multiple universities and colleges delayed exams and assignments this week due to the outage.

Canvas is now largely back online. The incident is contained, with 'enhanced' security in place.

🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Department of War just released UFO files.

Trump directed the release of "files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, UAP, and UFOs."

The files Include Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 imagery, plus FBI photos of unidentified objects over the western US.

First batch is live on war.gov/UFO.

🚨 BREAKING: New Linux zero-day "Dirty Frag" lets ANY local user become root on most major distros.

The PoC is already public, half of it isn't patched yet.

Discovered by researcher Hyunwoo Kim, the exploit chains two kernel bugs and sits in the same family as Dirty Pipe and Copy Fail.

▪️ CVE-2026-43284 (xfrm-ESP Page-Cache Write): patched in mainline Linux.
▪️ CVE-2026-43500 (RxRPC Page-Cache Write): NO PATCH yet.

The exploit is reliable by design. Attackers don't have to win a timing race, the system won't crash and alert anyone if it fails, and it succeeds nearly every run.

The embargo got broken before distros could ship fixes, so the working code is now sitting on GitHub.

Confirmed working on: Ubuntu 24.04.4, RHEL 10.1, openSUSE Tumbleweed, CentOS Stream 10, AlmaLinux 10, Fedora 44.

‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.

GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision.

What happened?:
▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated.
▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead.
▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed.
▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out.

The bigger picture:
▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature.
▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...

‼️🚨 Security researcher ggwhyp demonstrated a full-chain Firefox exploit on Windows.

He opens an HTML page, Firefox runs the code, cmd.exe spawns, Calculator opens. Signature of a browser-to-OS exploit.

Prepared for Pwn2Own. ZDI rejected it. According to the researcher, it was responsibly disclosed to Mozilla.

‼️🚨 Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 just hit a wall. For the first time in 19-years, ZDI rejected dozens of working zero-day RCE submissions because organizers ran out of contest slots.

Rejected hackers are now going public with PoC demos and direct vendor disclosures, breaking Pwn2Own's usual secrecy.

▪️ AI surfaces a massive wave of 0-day RCEs.
▪️ Submissions overwhelm ZDI past max capacity.
▪️ Slots run out. Researchers with working chains get rejected.
▪️ "Revenge disclosures" begin. ← we are here.

Confirmed casualties so far:
▪️ xchglabs : 86 vulnerabilities prepared (PyTorch, NVIDIA, Linux KVM, Oracle, Docker, Ollama, Chroma, LiteLLM, llama.cpp). All rejected. Now reporting directly to vendors with writeups dropping as patches land.
▪️ ggwhyp : full-chain Firefox RCE on Windows. Rejected. Publicly demoed (HTML page → cmd.exe → calc.exe). Responsibly disclosed to Mozilla.
▪️ yunsu_dev : working RCE chain, rejected. Submitting elsewhere.
▪️ ryotkak : tried to register for 3+ weeks. ZDI confirmed "at maximum capacity, can't add extra contest days." Considered canceling flight and hotel.
▪️ anzuukino2802 : Claude Code RCE PoC. Rejected.
▪️ desckimh : 0-day RCEs in Ollama and LM Studio. Rejected.

Reported impact: a community-estimated 150+ researchers tried to register. Accepted contestants are now being warned about collisions. Rejected vulnerabilities going to bug bounty programs may trigger pre-event patches that invalidate the work of those who got in.

ZDI has not publicly addressed the capacity issue. The event still runs May 14-16 in Berlin.

‼️🚨 ABSURD: A member of France's parliamentary intelligence delegation is openly pushing to add "ghost participants" to your encrypted WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram chats.

They're calling current encryption "a major obstacle for the work of the justice system and intelligence services."

The literal proposal is: the state silently inserts an invisible third user into every targeted two-person conversation...

The story:
▪️ On December 16, 2025, France's 8-member parliamentary intelligence delegation (DPR) published its 2025 annual report. It formally endorses giving magistrates and intelligence agents access to end-to-end encrypted messages.
▪️ The technical method floated: the "ghost user" approach originally proposed by UK GCHQ in 2018 and rejected by every major cryptographer and privacy organization that reviewed it.
▪️ We have seen similar proposals of 'breaking' encryption in the Netherlands, their intelligence services AIVD recommended against it since it would expose everyone.
▪️ The lead advocate, Senator Cédric Perrin, openly says his goal is to "introduce a ghost participant into a conversation before encryption."

The absurd:
▪️ A system that lets the state silently join "two-person" conversations is, by definition, no longer end-to-end encryption.
▪️ Every major cryptographer who has reviewed ghost-user proposals has said the same thing: there is no such way to add a ghost recipient for "good guys only." It can be exploited by hostile states, criminals, and any insider with access to the platform's signaling layer.
▪️ The French intelligence report acknowledges that intelligence services already have remote device interception. They can already compromise a target's phone and read most on it with judicial authorization.

The legislative status:
▪️ This is a parliamentary recommendation, fortunately not law yet. The member pushing this is named Cédric Perrin, and his first amendment was fortunately passed by the Senate.
▪️ A competing amendment, by another senator, would do the opposite, writing encryption protection into French law and prohibiting backdoors. Adopted by the Senate in March 2025, stalled in the Assembly since September.
▪️ At the EU level, the ProtectEU strategy is publishing a 2026 encryption roadmap to identify how lawful access could be built.
