The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency is seizing Flipper devices [previously on Boing Boing] because they can be used to hack into a wide range of systems, reports Bleeping Computer:
Flipper Zero is a portable multi-function cybersecurity tool that allows pentesters and hacking enthusiasts to tinker with a wide range of hardware by supporting RFID emulation, digital access key cloning, radio communications, NFC, infrared, Bluetooth, and more.
