You're tuned in to Tech Beat, and here's what's making waves today.

Riots have broken out in Frankfurt, leaving shopfronts smashed and fires burning across the city. What began as youth demonstrations escalated into widespread looting and violence, with police still deployed on the streets Sunday. Several people were reported injured, and authorities are working to restore order.

Turning to a developing story in India, internet service providers there have been caught DNS hijacking — essentially intercepting users' web requests and redirecting them without consent. It's a quiet but significant breach of trust between providers and their customers, and it raises serious questions about how much control users actually have over their own connections.

And on a note that will affect photographers and content creators down the line, Canon has signaled that camera prices could climb by two thousand twenty seven if memory costs remain elevated. The company is pointing to persistent pressure in the semiconductor supply chain as the driver — a reminder that the hardware we rely on is never entirely insulated from global materials markets.

Those are the stories shaping the conversation today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
