Russian programmer says #FSB agents planted #spyware on his #Android phone
According to the report, the fake app was able to access location information, read and send text messages, install other applications, read the calendar, take screenshots and record from the video camera, see a list of other applications, answer phone calls, and view user account details — all permissions that the real Cube Call Recorder does not have.

Declassified US intelligence memorandum details Russia's suspected targeting of political adversaries abroad
The intelligence assessment, which Bloomberg obtained through the U.S.'s Freedom of Information Act, details how U.S. intelligence believed in 2016 that suspected Kremlin-ordered #assassinations abroad would likely persist.
The document includes well-known cases, such as the murder of Alexander #Litvinenko, a former #FSB agent who defected to the U.K.

Russia's critics abroad say the Kremlin is intensifying attacks
With all dissent snuffed out at home, Russia is turning its attention to opponents who have sought refuge in the West.
“When I left Russia and came to Prague, I had this illusion of security,” says Alesya.
"Parasites can’t sleep in peace..." was one of the messages that investigative journalist Alesya Marokhovskaya received last year.
The threats were accompanied by the name of the street in Prague where she lived. “I moved house to make it harder for them,” says Alesya.
“We thought it may just be some crazy Czech guy who was pro-Putin and had recognised me on the street.”
But then the messages became more sinister - calling her a "scumbag" and promising to find her "wherever she walks her wheezing dog".
Alesya’s dog really does wheeze when it walks. She informed the Czech police.
Later, Alesya was due to fly to Sweden to attend a conference. The sender then sent even more specific threats: details of her flight, seat number and the hotel she had booked. “It was clear they had high-level access to documents,” Alesya says. “It looks like the behaviour of the Russian state.”
Alesya had been branded a 'foreign agent’ years before by the Russian government, due to her work at independent Russian news website iStories.
#Intimidation is the intent,” suggests Mark Galeotti. “The idea that you'd better keep your head down. It’s a way of deterring the emergence of some kind of coherent political opposition to the #Kremlin.

Don't think that Russian hybrid ops in Estonia end with the suspects currently detained
The Internal Security Service (ISS), known in #Estonian as the #Kapo, announced Tuesday that, based on information amassed in the course of criminal proceedings, Russia's security services have been coordinating a hybrid operation against Estonia's security.
This operation includes the activities carried out by those suspects currently detained.
While smashing the windows of a family car is hardly a sophisticated action, recruiting willing volunteers inside Estonia has not proven difficult for the #FSB and/or other Russian security organs.
Speaking to ETV current affairs show "Ringvaade," Läänemets said that the intention on the part of Russia's security services is to sow fear and discord, both in Estonia and elsewhere.
"This is the goal of the #Russian secret services and also that of Russia as a whole: To destabilize Estonian society and sow fear.
"Russia has dedicated units to carry out such operations. Estonia is not the only place where this has happened. It happens in the other Baltic states, and elsewhere ", the minister went on.

Newly declassified US intel claims Russia is laundering propaganda through unwitting Westerners
“These influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,” a US official authorized to discuss the material told CNN. “The co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships … they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the FSB’s agenda.”
The campaigns have sometimes been effective at planting Russian narratives in the Western press, according to the intelligence. Maxim Grigoriev, who heads a Russian NGO, made multiple speeches to the UN presenting a false study that claimed the humanitarian group the White Helmets – which operates in Syria – was running a black market for human organs and had faked chemical attacks by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with whom Russia is allied. Those claims eventually found their way into a television report on the far-right OANN in the United States, according to open-source materials provided by the official.
Yep, even here on the #fediverse ... sadly
Russian State Media, RIA Novosti on #Telegram:
— "The #FSB has revealed the intelligence of the American intelligence agencies, carried out using #Apple devices.
The department reported that in the course of ensuring the security of the Russian telecommunications infrastructure, anomalies were identified that are characteristic only for users of Apple mobile phones and are caused by the operation of previously unknown malicious software.
Several thousand telephone sets of this brand were infected, the FSB said.
The information received by the Russian special services testifies to the close cooperation of Apple with the #US intelligence community, the Russian department noted."

BSI-Chef Arne Schönbohm vor Rauswurf
Schnellschuss in Kriegszeiten
Von Tanja Tricarico
Nancy Faeser will den Chef der obersten Behörde für Cybersicherheit entlassen. Der Vorwurf der Russlandnähe ist jedoch alles andere als bewiesen.
Russischen Angaben zufolge explodierte ein Lastwagen auf der Brücke. Dadurch sollen weiter entfernt auf der Brücke gleich sieben Kesselwagen eines Güterzugs mit Diesel in Brand geraten sein. In der Folge stürzten Teile der Brückenautobahn ins Meer. Mindestens drei Menschen sollen getötet worden sein.
Tatsächlich konnte der Besitzer des Lkw nach russischen Angaben identifiziert werden. Es handele sich um einen Einwohner der südlichen russischen Region #Krasnodar, erklärten russische Ermittler, ohne den Namen des Mannes zu nennen. Demnach wurden an seinem Wohnsitz Ermittlungen eingeleitet, die dokumentierte Fahrtroute des Lastwagens werde überprüft.

#russland #krieg #krim #fsb #ukraine
Forty days after the unexplained explosion at the #Olenivka #prison in Russian-occupied #Donbas that killed over 50 Ukrainian prisoners of #war, the families of the defenders of #Mariupol and of the Azovstal Steelworks imprisoned by the Russians, have still not been told how many men were killed, and whether their loved ones were among them. #Russia is continuing to violate international law by preventing the International Committee of the Red Cross [ #ICRC] from visiting the site and speaking with surviving POWs. While more movement on a UN fact-finding mission has been announced, there is nothing to suggest that this equates to actual progress. On 3 August, #UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced plans for a fact-finding mission, saying that an independent investigation had been requested by both #Ukraine and Russia. On 22 August, we even learned the make-up of such a mission and the members’ credentials, however it was also reported that the UN believed the situation around the prison was too dangerous for such a trip to be undertaken.
It is difficult to see how reporting such illusory progress can help anyone but those responsible for the attack, and during their press conference on 6 September, the relatives of #Azovstal defenders imprisoned at Olenivka expressed frustration at the impotence of international bodies. Such lack of any progress makes it clear that all the POWs are in grave danger, and they demanded that more effective methods be applied to secure their release before it is too late.
