A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  Congressional Republicans coalescing around single budget reconciliation bill – Congress poised to pass CR to fund the government – Congress votes to repeal IRS final regs on ‘DeFI' digital asset reporting – Trump Administration selects Washington Council Ernst & Young's Rebecca Burch to be Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Tax Affairs.

This week, Jeremy and Gareth mull over the macro situation - the US economy seems to be slowing (but inflation persists) while Europe, especially Germany, has been bullied into spending more than ever. The UK, and arguably Europe, haven't yet seen much benefit from the outflow of capital from the MAG Seven, but remember, the whole German market cap is not dissimilar to the value of Microsoft - so there's a lot more to go for. UK companies discussed include STV, Forterra, Van Elle, Secure Trust Bank, Cakebox, Care REIT, Hornby and Science Group/Ricardo. Next week the big news is around interest rate decisions - in the USA, here in the UK and in Japan. Let's hope for no surprises (especially from Tokyo). 

EP 233.5 Key Cryptocurrency Threats & ScamsIn 2025, crypto remains a hotspot for scams like Ponzi schemes, fake ICOs, pump-and-dumps, phishing attacks, and malicious wallets or exchanges designed to steal funds. Social media is often used for deceptive giveaways, impersonations, and investment scams. Other risks include fake mining operations, rug pulls, fraudulent apps, SIM swapping, and impostor tech support.AI Skills Demand in the Tech Job MarketAI expertise is increasingly sought after, with about one in four U.S. tech job postings requiring AI-related skills. This trend cuts across industries like healthcare, finance, and professional services. Although overall tech job postings have dipped, AI job listings have surged since ChatGPT's launch, offering premium pay and higher job security.What Is Free95?Free95 is an open-source operating system on GitHub aiming for Windows compatibility without the bloat. It currently supports basic Win32 programs, with future plans for DirectX and gaming. Its creators prioritize security, simplicity, and independence from major corporate control, positioning it as a leaner alternative to systems like ReactOS.DOJ Push for Google to Sell ChromeThe U.S. Department of Justice still wants Google to divest Chrome, citing an illegal monopoly in search. The DOJ argues that selling Chrome would create room for genuine competition. While it continues to push for restrictions on Google's paid search placement deals, it has dropped calls for Google to shed AI start-up investments.Edge Computing on the ISSAxiom Space and Red Hat's AxDCU-1 data center on the ISS tests cloud, AI, and cybersecurity in orbit. Red Hat's Device Edge software enables real-time data processing in space, crucial due to limited satellite links with Earth. This development could boost AI training, imaging, cybersecurity, and overall autonomy in space operations.Undocumented ‘Backdoor' in a Chinese Bluetooth ChipResearchers found hidden commands in the ESP32 microcontroller, used in over a billion devices. Attackers could exploit these commands to impersonate devices, steal data, or infiltrate networks. The chip's widespread adoption in smartphones, locks, and medical equipment heightens the security risk, as attackers might gain long-term control.Security & Privacy Concerns of ‘Agentic AI'Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns that agentic AI requires broad system access, potentially gathering financial, scheduling, and messaging data with near-root permissions. This could break down privacy barriers between apps and introduce significant security risks, especially if sensitive data is processed in the cloud.Expanded Social Media Screening for Non-CitizensThe U.S. is considering extending social media checks beyond new arrivals to all non-citizens applying for benefits like permanent residency or citizenship. This raises privacy concerns, as individuals who entered before such screenings were routine may now face additional digital scrutiny when adjusting their immigration status.

The latest episode of FTR's Rail and Intermodal Update, hosted by Joseph Towers, recaps insights from the Rail Equipment Finance Conference and discusses ongoing uncertainties in the industry. A key takeaway from the event was the widespread hesitancy among industry players—shippers, OEMs, lessors, and component providers—due to shifting tariff policies. Recent tariff developments include the implementation of 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and an additional 10% on Chinese imports, followed by a carve-out for automotive imports from Canada and Mexico and a temporary pause on Mexican and Canadian tariffs under USMCA. Additionally, an unexpected announcement of reciprocal tariffs starting April 2nd adds further uncertainty. Beyond trade policy, rail traffic showed a rebound after weather-related disruptions, with total volumes up 4.8% y/y. Carloads increased by 2.6%, with notable growth in grain (+5.8%), coal (+4.9%), and motor vehicles (+4.5%), though forest products (-2.9%) and nonmetallic minerals (-0.4%) declined. Intermodal traffic grew 6.8% y/y, reversing a three-week decline, though Canadian intermodal volumes remained negative (-6.0%).The Rail Market Update is hosted by FTR's Senior Analyst, Rail, Joseph Tower.  As this information is presented, you are welcome to follow along and look at the graphs and indicators yourself by downloading the PDF of the presentation.Download the PDF: https://www.ftrintel.com/rail-podcastSupport the show

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  President Trump calls for permanent tax cuts during joint session of Congress – Trump Administration imposes tariffs on Canada and Mexico, then reverses – US House Ways and Means Committee set to begin drafting budget reconciliation bill to extend expiring TJCA provisions – US Congress to address expiration of government funding on 14 March – Senate votes to repeal Biden-era regulation requiring some cryptocurrency reporting.

How did Microsoft's Copilot expose private GitHub repositories, and what are the risks?Copilot accessed over 20,000 private GitHub repositories due to cached data from when they were public. Even after repos were made private, Copilot could still generate responses using this cached data, risking exposure of sensitive information like credentials and corporate secrets.What is the "nRootTag" exploit in Apple's Find My network?The "nRootTag" exploit allows attackers to track Bluetooth devices like AirTags without owners knowing. While AirTags use cryptographic keys to change Bluetooth addresses, attackers can rapidly compute these keys using GPUs, achieving a 90% tracking success rate.Why is the UK demanding an iCloud backdoor, and how has Apple responded?The UK wants access to encrypted iCloud data for law enforcement, but Apple opposes it, withdrawing its Advanced Data Protection from the UK. The US has also criticized the demand as a privacy and legal overreach.Why is Signal withdrawing from Sweden?Signal is leaving Sweden over proposed laws requiring backdoor access to encrypted chats. The company refuses to weaken encryption, emphasizing its commitment to user privacy.Why has the US reportedly halted offensive cyber operations against Russia?The US Cyber Command, under Defense Secretary orders, has paused cyber attacks on Russia, possibly for diplomatic reasons. Supporters see it as de-escalation; critics worry it weakens deterrence against Russian cyber threats.Why has Australia banned Kaspersky Lab products?Australia banned Kaspersky from government systems, citing espionage and foreign interference risks. The move signals concerns over antivirus software's deep system access and the company's Russian ties.How was a Cellebrite exploit used to hack a Serbian student's phone?A Cellebrite zero-day targeting Android's Linux kernel USB drivers allowed attackers with physical access to bypass the lock screen. This raises concerns over surveillance tools being misused against activists.What changes did Mozilla make to Firefox Terms of Use, and why was there backlash?Mozilla initially claimed broad rights over user-submitted content, sparking fears of data monetization. After criticism, they revised the terms, clarifying user ownership and denying AI data harvesting.

This week:  Microsoft's Copilot is living up to its name—because apparently, once it gets a glimpse of your code, it just can't unsee it.Hackers just turned every Bluetooth device into an involuntary AirTag—so congrats, your wireless headphones are now a tracking device.The UK wants a backdoor to look into iCloud, and the US just responded with a very diplomatic “absolutely not.”Sweden wanted a backdoor, but Signal ghosted them instead—because encryption doesn't do toxic relationships.The US was cyber-attacking Russia? Shocking!  Next you'll tell us we need stronger glasses.Australia finally decided that letting Russian software protect their government computers was like asking an elephant to deliver eggs.Cellebrite's phone exploits are so good, even governments can't resist misusing them.Mozilla accidentally claimed ownership of everything you type into Firefox, then backtracked faster than a politician caught on a hot mic.We can see for miles and miles.  Come on, let's focus in for a better look.Find the full transcript to this week's podcast here.

Which AI chatbots pose the biggest privacy risks, and what data are they collecting and sharing?A recent study revealed that all top ten AI chatbots on the Apple App Store collect user data, with 30% sharing it with third parties for advertising or measurement. Specific incidents include an AI chatbot named WotNot exposing 346,000 sensitive customer files and ChatGPT facing temporary bans over the use of personal data for model training without user consent. The advice is to treat chatbots like untrustworthy coworkers and avoid sharing sensitive personal information.Why did Apple remove its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature in the UK?Apple removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature, which provided end-to-end encryption for iCloud data, in the UK after the government ordered the company to build a backdoor for accessing user data. Apple chose to remove the feature entirely rather than compromise the security of its encryption. This action raises concerns about governments potentially outlawing strong encryption, which could reduce security for everyone and expose users to greater risks from surveillance and other bad actors.What are VPN providers in France and Spain facing, and why are they considering leaving the French market?In France, entertainment companies are pushing for legal action to force VPN providers to block access to pirate sites. In Spain, Cloudflare has been blocked on weekends after being accused of hosting pirate streaming sites. VPN providers argue that these demands are risky and could lead to security vulnerabilities and excessive blocking, compromising their core mission of providing legitimate privacy and security services. What is California doing to enforce data privacy, and what measures should individuals take to protect their data?California is taking a "radical" approach by actively enforcing its privacy laws through the California Privacy Protection Agency. This agency is tasked with investigating violations, issuing fines, and educating businesses about compliance.
