After three years of relentless tracking, we’ve published a [paper](blogs.infoblox.com/threat-inte) that, for the first time, exposes the true identities behind VexTrio. This research connects real names to the various companies that form the VexTrio ecosystem. It begins with the origin story—how a group of Italians launched a successful spam and dating business. Over time, VexTrio expanded its operations into malicious adtech and online scams. For over a decade, the group employed deceptive tactics to defraud countless innocent internet users. These illegitimate gains funded the extravagant lifestyles of VexTrio’s key figures—who, despite increasing scrutiny, have yet to be fully stopped.

We’re deeply grateful to all the contributors who helped us reach this research milestone, especially @rmceoin and Tord from [Qurium](qurium.org/).

I don't know how to use this app called `ntfy`. Maybe it requires more advanced IT and technical knowledge. I would like to use it for my server, so that whenever people like my post, the `ntfy` app will send a notification directly to my phone.

Matt Taylor began to feel like he was getting too many push notifications from the BBC News app, so he decided to investigate how these alerts work, how they differ around the world, and what clues you can pick up about media trends from them. So he downloaded 61 international news apps on an old phone, signed up for push notifications on all of them, and then used ChatGPT to build a script that uploads their text to a server and a Bluesky page. NiemanLab talked to him about what he learned. We want to know: What's your perspective on push notifications for news?

  • I've ported UnifiedPush to Firefox, so it can receive background notifications using the service you want, specially useful for PWA (installable web application)
  • ntfy provides a PWA
  • So I can receive ntfy notifications with their PWA through any push service, for instance using Sunup :D

Check out our blog post where we examine the push notification problem and address potential misconceptions!

In the wake of recent reports by @Reuters, @TechCrunch, @404mediaco, and others on #surveillance via push notifications, many people have been confused about reports about it and how it affects their own #privacy when using messengers anonymously.
