#Apple is planing a feature to #update an #iPhone without interaction of the owner. So it is a forced update with which you can bring everything on the iPhone. This is exactly what the #FBI, #NSA and #TSA dream about at night.

Apple is planning a new system for its retail stores that will update the software on iPhones prior to sale. The company has developed a proprietary pad-like device that the store can place boxes of iPhones on top of. That system can then wirelessly turn on the iPhone, update its #software and then power it back down — all without the phone’s packaging ever being opened. The company aims to begin rolling this out to its stores before the end of the year.

Exclusive: Tech billionaire #PeterThiel was an #FBI informant

Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-fbi-informant-charles-johnson-johnathan-buma-chs-genius-2023-10

The source said that any assistance Thiel might have provided to the FBI should be understood as part of Thiel's gradual distancing of himself from #Trump and the broader #MAGA movement, which has vigorously criticized the FBI and other federal law-enforcement agencies.

#Qakbot - affiliated actors distribute #Ransom Knight malware despite #infrastructure #takedown

source: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/qakbot-affiliated-actors-distribute-ransom/

Notably, this activity appeared to begin before the #FBI seized Qakbot infrastructure in late August and has been ongoing since, indicating the law enforcement operation may not have impacted Qakbot operators’ spam delivery infrastructure but rather only their command and control (C2) servers.

One of the #FBI’s most wanted hackers is #trolling the U.S. #government

Source: https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/18/fbi-most-wanted-hacker-trolling-the-u-s-government/

#Matveev’s online shenanigans, which include giving lengthy interviews to #cybersecurity journalists, posting selfie videos of himself driving around while listening to Metallica, and writing about his #hacking activities, show that he does not seem to care about being on the FBI’s most wanted list. And as long as he doesn’t leave #Russia, his life may not be that much different that it was before he got indicted.

U.S. #Drug Enforcement Administration sends over $50,000 to a #scammer

Source: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/single/us-drug-enforcement-administration-scammed

Someone observed the #DEA wallet send a small test transaction before transferring the remaining seized funds, and quickly used a crypto wallet address with identical characters at the beginning and end to send an airdrop to the DEA source wallet. When the DEA agent went to send the remaining funds, they copied-and-pasted the address, believing it was the same one they'd sent the test transaction to. This is a common scam in the crypto world known as "address poisoning", and is successful primarily because crypto wallet addresses are very long strings of characters that people usually copy-and-paste, and only identify by the characters at the start and end.

FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users

We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past lessons.

Last May, Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.

It’s a chillingly familiar story which should serve as a reminder for the hosts, users, and developers of decentralized platforms: if you care about privacy, you have to do the work to protect it. We have a chance to do better from the start in the fediverse, so let’s take it.

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."

#FBI broke own rules in January 6 and BLM #intelligence search, #court finds

FBI officials said the thousands of violations, which also include improper searches of donors to a congressional campaign, predated a series of corrective measures that started in the summer of 2021 and continued last year. But the problems could nonetheless complicate FBI and #justice department efforts to receive congressional reauthorization of a warrantless #surveillance program that law enforcement officials say is needed to counter terrorism, espionage and international #cybercrime.
