  • There’s a couple things.

    The first reports, right after the shootings, were that the bullets were described with a pro-trans message. Except that turned out to be TRN, which is the maker’s mark for Turan ammo.

    The second reports were that messages were written on the ammo. They haven’t released any photos but they say the “new” messages are

    • “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?”
    • “Hey fascist! Catch!” [with five arrows in a Helldivers launch bomb command]
    • “Oh Bella ciao Bella ciao Bella ciao ciao ciao"
    • “If you read this, you are gay lmao.”

    The thing that strikes me is that all of those seem to be fairly lengthy messages to engrave onto a bullet. And the messages are more viral meme remnants of the terminally online.




















  • When it is successfully deployed against a target, the hacking software – called Graphite – can hack into any phone. By essentially taking control of the mobile phone, the user – in this case, Ice – can not only track an individual’s whereabouts, read their messages, look at their photographs, but also open and read information held on encrypted applications, like WhatsApp or Signal. Spyware like Graphite can also be used as a listening device, through the manipulation of the phone’s recorder.

    Apple confirms to us that the zero-click attack deployed in these cases was mitigated as of iOS 18.3.1 and has assigned the vulnerability CVE-2025-43200.

    From this article

    WhatsApp discovered and mitigated an active Paragon zero-click exploit […] We forensically analyzed multiple Android phones belonging to Paragon targets in Italy (an acknowledged Paragon user) who were notified by WhatsApp. We found clear indications that spyware had been loaded into WhatsApp, as well as other apps on their devices.

    Ugh.
