"Canada Takes Action Against Car Theft Surge with CA$28M Investment and Tougher Regulations"

The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices due to concerns about their potential use in car thefts, with the Industry Minister announcing a ban on the importation, sale, and use of consumer hacking devices. Statistics show a surge in car thefts in Canada, prompting the government to take action. However, the company behind Flipper Devices insists that the gadget cannot be used to steal vehicles built after the 1990s and is intended for security testing and development. Amazon has also banned the sale of the Flipper Zero, and the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency has seized incoming purchases due to alleged criminal use.
