Bad news: US Customs have seized a container with 15k Flippers Zero

Let's have a look at the homepage... oh look, it's a Russian-based group. That's probably the exact same reason PayPal closed their account with $1.3 million. You'd think that would have got their attention but here we go again.

Im sure its based on the idea of them being used by bad-actors?<p>Or the feds were like &quot;LOOK I MADE THIS&quot; and want them for themselves in a more insidious reasoning...? Thats ~$6 million they dont need to pull from their budget...<p>Imagine how many boxes are going to &quot;fall off the truck&quot;<p>FLIPPER Zero (company) hopefully doesnt have remote disable, except in cases like this... (meaning &quot;the device must be registered with [DATABASE] before its activated. -- this is the double edge for devices of this class.)<p>-<p>Ill never forget my first meeting as Dir of IT for Lockheed where I was inquiring of frquency encryption&#x2F;security across all military RFID tags... That was not a fun meeting.

wow, I am discovering this wonderfull little piece of hardware.<p>The only thing which is not clear to me is how ez it is to customize the firmware, for instance a public git repo (okay, I just skimmed their web site quickly, lazy I was...).<p>oh... it is russian... doh!

oh no
