The Secret Service dismantled a high-tech covert operation near New York that had the capacity to disrupt cellular networks, including over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers, potentially interfering with emergency communications during the UN General Assembly, though no direct threat to the event was confirmed.

Android 15 may introduce a new location privacy feature that allows users to control when their location is shared with cellular networks, potentially blocking non-emergency requests. This feature requires support from the device's radio vendor and may not be available on all devices upgrading to Android 15. While it won't completely hide a user's location from carriers, it provides more control over when location data is shared and could help mitigate attacks from devices that mimic cellular networks.

Researchers at Yale University have developed a new tool to estimate the energetic cost of information transfer between cells and molecular components in biological systems. The study confirms the high energy costs associated with this process and suggests that the geometry and physical details of the system play a significant role in determining these costs. The findings could help explain the high cost of information processing observed in experimental studies and provide insights into the design principles of different cell signaling strategies.
