FBI Investigates Breach That May Have Hit Its Wiretapping Tools

The FBI is investigating a breach affecting systems tied to wiretapping and surveillance warrant data, after abnormal logs revealed possible unauthorized access to law-enforcement-sensitive information. "The FBI identified and addressed suspicious activities on FBI networks, and we have leveraged all technical capabilities to respond," a spokesperson for the bureau said. "We have nothing additional to provide." The Register reports: [W]hile the FBI declined to provide any additional information, it's worth noting that China's Salt Typhoon previously compromised wiretapping systems used by law enforcement. Salt Typhoon is the PRC-backed crew that famously hacked major US telecommunications firms and stole information belonging to nearly every American. According to the Associated Press, the FBI notified Congress that it began investigating the breach on February 17 after spotting abnormal log information related to a system on its network. "The affected system is unclassified and contains law enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process, such as pen register and trap and trace surveillance returns, and personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of FBI investigations," the notification said.

Looking Into CRM Tools Travel Agencies Are Using in 2026

Recently I spent some time researching CRM platforms designed for travel agencies and how they help manage the different parts of the business in one place. Many travel teams deal with client communication, itinerary planning, bookings and payments across multiple tools, which can quickly become difficult to manage.

Modern CRM systems are starting to combine these functions so agencies can handle everything within a single workflow.

Some of the capabilities that stood out while reviewing different platforms include:

Managing client profiles, trip details and booking information in one system

Creating and organizing travel itineraries more efficiently

Tracking leads and follow-ups with built-in automation

Handling payments and invoices alongside booking details

Communicating with clients through multiple channels from the same dashboard

Using AI features to assist with scheduling, reminders or upsell opportunities

The biggest benefit seems to be having a centralized place where travel teams can track client interactions and manage trips without switching between several separate tools.

For agencies looking to scale bookings or improve client experience, choosing the right CRM can make a noticeable difference in how smoothly daily operations run.

What WordPress Developers Are Actually Paid in 2026 ($40k–$150k)

I run a small WordPress job board and recently went through a large number of WordPress job listings to see what developers are actually paid.

The salary range is much wider than many people expect.

Junior roles start around $40k–$60k
Mid-level roles are usually $70k–$100k
Senior roles can reach $120k–$150k

I summarized the findings along with the skills that appear most often in higher-paying jobs.

Curious if this matches what others here are seeing in the WordPress job market.

Multi-step forms in React are a nightmare once logic gets involved — here's what I built to fix it

You start simple — a few steps, some state. Then requirements come in: "skip step 3 if the user picked X", "loop through this section for each item", "go back and remember previous answers". Suddenly you've got navigation state, conditional renders, and back/forward logic scattered across your entire component tree.

This comes up constantly in onboarding flows, surveys, contact forms, booking flows, product configurators — anything where the flow needs to adapt to user input.

I built Formity to fix this. You define the flow in a schema and it handles all the logic for you:

  • Conditions, loops, and variables for fully dynamic flows
  • Works with React Hook Form, Formik, and TanStack Form
  • Full TypeScript support with type inference across the entire flow

midudev (500k subs) and Hamed Bahram (200k subs) have both covered it if you want to see it in action.

Happy to answer any questions!

Ever tried “honey contacts” in a CRM to catch data leaks?

Hey everyone 👋

We’ve been experimenting with a neat trick in Salesforce: creating fake “honey” contacts to detect unauthorized exports or suspicious activity. Basically, dummy records that alert you if someone accesses or exports them.

Curious if anyone else has tried this?

  • What worked or didn’t?
  • Any tools to automate the monitoring?
  • Gotchas we should know about?

Would love to swap ideas and see how other admins/security folks handle this!

Threat Actors Mass-Scan Salesforce Experience Cloud via Modified AuraInspector Tool

Salesforce has warned of an increase in threat actor activity that's aimed at exploiting misconfigurations in publicly accessible Experience Cloud sites by making use of a customized version of an open-source tool called AuraInspector. The activity, per the company, involves the exploitation of customers' overly permissive Experience Cloud guest user configurations to obtain access to sensitive

Startup Wants To Launch a Space Mirror

A startup called Reflect Orbital wants to launch thousands of mirror-bearing satellites to reflect sunlight onto Earth at night and "power solar farms after sunset, provide lighting for rescue workers and illuminate city streets, among other things," reports the New York Times. From the report: It is an idea seemingly out of a sci-fi movie, but the company, Reflect Orbital of Hawthorne, Calif., could soon receive permission to launch its first prototype satellite with a 60-foot-wide mirror. The company has applied to the Federal Communications Commission, which issues the licenses needed to deploy satellites. If the F.C.C. approves, the test satellite could get a ride into orbit as soon as this summer. The F.C.C.'s public comment period on the application closes on Monday. "We're trying to build something that could replace fossil fuels and really power everything," Ben Nowack, Reflect Orbital's chief executive, said in an interview. The company has raised more than $28 million from investors. [...] Reflect Orbital's first prototype, which will be roughly the size of a dorm fridge, is almost complete. Once in space, about 400 miles up, the test satellite would unfurl a square mirror nearly 60 feet wide. That would bounce sunlight to illuminate a circular patch about three miles wide on the Earth's surface. Someone looking up would see a dot in the sky about as bright as a full moon. Two more prototypes could follow within a year. By the end of 2028, Reflect Orbital hopes to launch 1,000 larger satellites, and 5,000 of them by 2030. The largest mirrors are planned to be nearly 180 feet wide, reflecting as much light as 100 full moons. The company said its goal was to deploy the full constellation of 50,000 satellites by 2035. How much does it cost to order sunlight at night? Mr. Nowack said the company would charge about $5,000 an hour for the light of one mirror if a customer signed an annual contract for 1,000 hours or more. Lighting for one-time events and emergencies, which might require numerous satellites and more effort to coordinate, would be more expensive. For solar farms, he envisions splitting revenue from the electricity generated by the additional hours of light.
