The journalist was able to retrofind her using undisclosed facial recognition software after she had been found.

It would not surprise me if that was simply a use of semantic tagging of the Google image search engine of fotos found after her whereabouts were revealed.

Also, Germans strongly politically oppose surveillance software as does their legal system. If there is a national able to generate a movement to break free from BigTech, Germany is a good candidate.

Anyway, if you want to put such software to good use, we still don't know where her terrorist colleagues are, Nr Staub and Mr Garweg

Submission + - How to turn a 0day into a PR disaster: bully security researchers (heise.de)

Elektroschock writes: Microsoft bullied the publisher of BlueHammer (CVE-2026-33825), RedSun (CVE-2026-41091), UnDefend (CVE-2026-45498), YellowKey (CVE-2026-45585), and GreenPlasma/MiniPlasma (CVE-2020-17103 derivatives). A GitHub account was deleted, another account locked down, threats of international legal charges were made, and public law enforcement tipped off. That is a really unpleasant way to deal with a security nightmare of one’s own making. According to Microsoft, the courtesy of informing the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) in advance was not extended. The researcher refutes that claim and speaks of layoffs of competent security staff, blocked accounts, and broken communication channels. There are also rumours of new formality requirements concerning video attachments.

According to the text of the study practically all topics are met, according to the press release and the news reporting we are not ready yet. In any case, the Netherlands has the capacity to change the market, if it costs a few billions, it costs a few billions to get things ready and close the gap. We need to wind off our public service from Microsoft. The actions taken here clearly cross the line. This is the equivalent to a declaration of digital market war.

The Background is that the US Congress harasses European regulators with made up allegations against their Digital Services Act. We cannot accept these transgressions. The task is to break free from the Microsoft dependency, quickly.

Idiots think anything they cant immediately figure out especially in twilight or the dark is strange and pilots are no exception. They're not geniuses, they're airborne bus drivers. Idiots think venus is a ufo, ditto aircraft landing lights from a distance that look like a floating orb that suddenly disappears - ie when the aircraft turns. Even worse with chopper lights.
