  • UK General Election: The Results

    An early election was granted by the Commons at the request of former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak just a few days ago on 4 July 2024 with Labour winning an overall majority in the HoC. Labour won a total of 411 seats in the House of Commons, and the Conservatives won 121. The Liberal Democrats gained 72 seats in total. Reform won 5 seats in the HoC. Other parties also won seats in the House. This is according to data published online by the House of Commons. Keir Starmer is now the Prime Minister of the UK, but his policies appear to be quite similar to those of the Conservatives despite him claiming to be a legitimate "opposition". We'll just have to see how well that works out over the next few years, won't we?

  • Forensic Investigation Department reveals over 50% have vulnerable Wi-Fi protection — and the risks

    An internal cybersecurity investigation project showed that over 50% of Wi-Fi networks could be hacked and exploited with little-to-no effort, but you can protect yourself better. The first mistake that many people make is using their Wi-Fi router's default password. This means that it can easily be brute forced (guessed) and, therefore, exploited. Upon successful exploitation, hackers can take over Wi-Fi settings, spread malware, MITM sensitive data, remotely hack devices on the affected LAN, conduct illegal activities on your network, and even redirect your web traffic, as well as install a malicious proxy server and/or https certificate without detection. To better protect your network, you should use a strong password with random numbers, letters, words, spaces, and characters. You should also keep an eye out for any suspicious activity and regularly change your default password. Not using a VPN or the Tor network on open Wi-Fi networks is risky, as hackers could redirect your traffic, MITM https encryption and inspect/modify it, spread malware, and even potentially backdoor/hack your devices, as well as install malicious https certs or proxies. And rogue (fake) Wi-Fi hotspots are another major risk, too, so you should always be sure you're connecting to a legitimate network with strong protection and not some hacker's cloned hotspot on a local/remote device. To protect yourself, there are many things you can do, such as: use a VPN or Tor, set strong passwords, verify open internet hotspots' legitimacy, check your https cert provider, and monitor networks for suspicious-looking activity. Some of the free mainstream Wi-Fi forensic tools used by the IID are mitmproxy , Wireshark , and Aircrack-ng . It also uses certain Linux distros — like Kali Linux and Parrot OS — and private tools, too.

    Home Report Contact Us News & Policies More We independently investigate the alleged wrongdoing of individuals, authorities, and businesses in our fight for you regardless of your location. We aim to work with the public but will, where necessary, not hesitate to hold people accountable with our paper or the law. What do we do? Education We educate both communities and the accused through our paper or the IID's own blog and also through petitions, independent advice, and recorded IID warnings. Read More > law enforcement When someone has committed a serious crime and is a danger to society, we can use citizen powers to make an arrest or could, alternatively, request to collaborate with the police to bring the alleged offender to justice through a joint investigation. We can also use reasonable force in most countries and may also carry (and use) handcuffs while reporting in the UK. Read More > accountability When an individual, business, or agency has acted unethically/immorally or caused societal nuisance/distress, we can work with them to try and solve the problem or may, where appropriate, gather proof and expose/prosecute the accused. Read More > evidence & intelligence We actively gather intelligence to try and detect any problems in many communities and will, where needed, gather evidence/information about an issue or offender; where necessary, this can be published online or shared with law enforcement and other internal/external departments, people, or groups. We can also investigate reports shared with, or made to, us. Read More > About the IID A Department of fully independent LCN investigators, reporters, and journalists, we actively try to identify community issues and will act on any that are identified via reader-submitted reports and our own intelligence. We can do this in many ways, like: launching independent investigations, joining forces with law enforcement or other agencies, educating, advising, making citizens' arrests and using the appropriate force, offering victims support and advise, exposing the reality of a situation, privately prosecuting the accused, and reporting a crime as a paper or on behalf of our informing source(s), as well as issuing a pre-enforcement warning (either advisory or recorded). ​ The IID aims to do its upmost to protect the communities that it serves; these are usually in our current focus areas — Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire — but may also be done throughout the rest of the UK and around the world in accordance with any differing legislation & procedures. OUR Department Independent. Trustworthy. Helpful. Reliable. International. Fighting for you and your community! File a Report Concerned about your situation or community?
