It’s not your phone or Alexa: there’s a spy in your home, and 99% of people have no idea what it is

Cristian Ciuraneta Catalán — Thu, 29 May 2025 00:21:30 GMT

These devices can do it all: connect to the internet, stream videos and images, make video calls, respond to voice commands, use facial recognition, and much more.

Pablo Carretero,Andy Hall — Sun, 28 Jul 2024 21:45:30 GMT

Canada women’s soccer team is having a tough time making it to the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics. Despite winning the first match against New Zealand (2-1), Canada is down three points due to the spy drone scandal that came to light a few days ago. It involved the use of illegal drones in the training sessions of other teams over a number of years. Canada Soccer took action and fired coach Bev Priestman, but FIFA was much more blunt: a six-point deduction for Paris 2024, one-year ban for Bev Priestman and two other members of the coaching staff and a fine of 200,000 Swiss francs for the Canadian Soccer Association.
