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 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.
