FBI Warns: Old Wi‑Fi Routers Can Turn Into Botnets

The FBI cautions that end-of-life home routers from the late 2000s to early 2010s—especially certain Linksys models—are vulnerable to malware and can be hijacked to form botnets because they no longer receive security updates. Attacks exploit exposed remote management features, and because the malware runs in the router’s operating system rather than on a PC, detections are difficult; if your router is no longer updated, replace it with a newer model to reduce risk.

CISA Orders Federal Agencies to Replace End-of-Life Edge Networking Gear

CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-02 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to identify and decommission end-of-life edge devices (routers, firewalls, switches) that no longer receive updates. Agencies must inventory EOS devices within 3 months, decommission EOS gear within 12 months, and replace identified devices within 18 months with vendor-supported equipment, with continuous discovery inventories to be in place within 24 months. The mandate aims to reduce exposure to exploits targeting outdated edge devices; it applies to FCEB agencies, with encouragement for others to follow.

Preparing for the End: A Model for Dying With Dignity

NYT profile of Brian Cahill, a 58-year-old with metastatic prostate cancer who reorganizes his life around care, planning, and relationships. He builds a supportive circle for medical decisions, relocates from NYC to Cincinnati for affordable hospice care, and even considers a temporary drug holiday to regain energy and autonomy. The piece frames a “good death” as one shaped by preparation, connection, and living fully within limited time, using his experiences as a blueprint for dying with dignity.

Adobe Animate to shut down next month, with one-year window to download existing files

Adobe will stop selling the 2D animation app Animate on March 1, 2026, with existing users able to download their files until March 1, 2027 (enterprise customers until March 1, 2029). The history goes back to 1996 as FutureSplash/Flash before being renamed Animate in 2015; Adobe says Creative Cloud Pro users can replace some functionality with After Effects or Express, but many creators—like those behind Chikn Nuggit and Salad Fingers—warn the shutdown could harm jobs and render past works as lost media. In the past year Adobe has leaned into AI with Firefly and AI editing tools, signaling a shift away from Animate.
