If bombing succeeds, Iran may double down on cyber

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about how successfully achieving America’s war goals could force Iran to double down on cyber power. It’s resilient to bombing and is the cheapest, quickest way for the regime to get some wins post-war.

They also discuss Meta stepping back from end-to-end encryption on Instagram’s direct messages. There is a time and place for E2EE messages, so good riddance.

Finally, they discuss the one weird trick President Trump uses to make his smartphone conversations useless for foreign intelligence services.
