Mystery Drone Sightings Lead to FAA Ban Despite No Detected Threats

It’s been a busy year in cybersecurity, but it’s not over yet. This week, we revealed how hackers figured out how to “jailbreak” digital license plates—which are legally issued in at least a couple of states and are valid across the US—allowing them to change the license plate number to basically anything. That means someone with this capability can avoid tolls and tickets, or even change their plate to be the same as their enemy.

While the company that makes the plates, Reviver, makes clear that doing this would be both illegal and a terms-of-service violation, we’re guessing that the people who want to hide their car’s credentials so they can speed all over town aren’t too concerned about that.

Staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are preparing for an uncertain future. Several CISA employees told WIRED that they’re afraid the incoming Trump administration will scrap key programs that they say are keeping Americans safe from cyberattacks and other threats—or that the agency itself could be dismantled.

In recent years, financial scams that involve bilking people out of their cryptocurrency holdings have come to be known by an eye-catching, catch-all name: “pig butchering.” But it’s time for a rebrand, according to officials at Interpol. The term, which is a translation from Chinese and refers to the slow process of fattening up a pig before slaughtering it, was likely created by the scammers themselves. As such, its use could further degrade victims of these scams or shame them into not reporting a crime.

Doing crimes in public is, apparently, all the rage. We took a deep dive into the world of drug dealers who are advertising their goods on open web platforms like Instagram, X, and Snapchat. The practice isn’t new, but authorities in Europe say it’s growing more popular.

And that’s not all. Each week, we round up the security and privacy news we didn’t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

The US Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday that it was temporarily banning drone flights over dozens of critical infrastructure and utility sites in New Jersey and New York “at the request of federal security partners.” The restrictions are set to last 30 days. The announcement comes as panic over reported mysterious drone sightings in the two states has surged in recent weeks. The FAA said in a joint statement with the US Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and FBI on Wednesday that the US government has not found evidence of malicious or unexplained aircraft.

“Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones,” the agencies wrote. “We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast.”
