FCC Aims to End Burner Phones
Plus: AI bug hunting fuels Microsoft’s biggest-ever Patch Tuesday, ShinyHunters ransomware gang exploits an Oracle zero-day, and more.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has indicated its intention to phase out or significantly restrict the use of prepaid, untraceable mobile phones, commonly known as 'burner phones.' This move is reportedly aimed at combating illicit activities, as these devices are often used by criminals to evade law enforcement. The FCC's proposal could involve stricter identification requirements for purchasing prepaid SIM cards. In related tech news, Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday includes fixes for a significant number of vulnerabilities, boosted by AI-driven bug detection. Additionally, the ShinyHunters ransomware group has been observed exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in Oracle software.
This FCC initiative could impact privacy and accessibility for some users while aiming to enhance public safety.
