All 50 U.S. states have now introduced right-to-repair legislation, aiming to empower consumers and repair shops by allowing them access to the necessary tools and information to fix their devices. This movement seeks to challenge manufacturers' control over repairs, promoting sustainability and reducing electronic waste. Advocates argue that consumers should have the right to repair their own products without facing restrictions from companies.

Millions of VPNs and networking devices are under attack, with hackers using 2.8 million IPs to brute-force passwords on Palo Alto, Ivanti, SonicWall, and other devices. Attackers leverage compromised MikroTik, Huawei, Cisco, Boa, and ZTE routers. Most attacks originate from Brazil, Turkey, Russia, and Argentina. Weak passwords remain the primary risk. #CyberSecurity #VPN #BruteForce
