Secure data transfer #guide for #paranoid journalists and hacktivists ...

Prologue (Why we live in the dark #digital age!)

The #Pegasus #scandal showed that no one took #Snowden's revelations seriously. Meanwhile, it is not only the state actor #NSA that monitors everyone but a private company in #Israel the #NSO Group. Of course, always installing the latest updates on the device is of no use if the #intelligence agencies withhold the #security vulnerabilities from us, which does not increase security but endangers it.

The #problem is that today, even with a degree in #computer science, it is almost impossible to keep an overview of the entire security situation, as it has become far too complex. You would need a very simple tool, where the wrong usage is almost impossible. A #laptop or #smartphone is out of the question because even experts can only detect manipulated #firmware in complicated, time-consuming processes.

Solution

In order not to be monitored digitally, one works as analog as possible at the destination. Records are handwritten on paper, which is not left unattended anywhere. For the transmission of the records to the headquarter, they are photographed with a digital camera and stored on an SD card. This SD card is then inserted into a #RaspberryPi where the images are encrypted. The Raspberry Pi connects to the #darknet (VPN, i2p or TOR) via the smartphone's #wifi. From this file drop in the darknet, the headquarters can download the data. Afterwards, you should destroy all records and the SD card so that no contaminating data can be found during a police search.

The choice of darknet must be adapted to the destination country. Special bridges are needed to tunnel through the great firewall of China. Instead of using your own smartphone to connect to the #Internet, it's better to use a free WiFi connection if one is available. A micro SD card is easy to hide. It can be smuggled into a neighboring country by a trusted person and the transfer can take place there. This means that no suspicious electronic traces lead back to you.

#Pegasus: French #President #Macron identified as #spyware target

source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57907258

Numbers on the leaked list are also said to include those of President Baram Salih of #Iraq and #SouthAfrica's Cyril Ramaphosa, as well as the current prime ministers of #Pakistan, #Egypt and #Morocco, and the King of Morocco.

More than 600 government officials and politicians from 34 countries are on the list, which is said to contain 50,000 numbers.

Who could have guessed that, through their criminal inactivity, the politicians themselves have become the victims of their insufficient policies. Let's see if they now act against surveillance or just protect themselves.

What is Pegasus spyware and how does it hack phones? Don't worry as there is not much you can actually do about it right now

It is the name for perhaps the most powerful piece of spyware ever developed – certainly by a private company. Once it has wormed its way on to your phone, without you noticing, it can turn it into a 24-hour surveillance device. It can copy messages you send or receive, harvest your photos and record your calls. It might secretly film you through your phone’s camera, or activate the microphone to record your conversations. It can potentially pinpoint where you are, where you’ve been, and who you’ve met.

In 2019 WhatsApp revealed that NSO’s software had been used to send malware to more than 1,400 phones by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability. Simply by placing a WhatsApp call to a target device, malicious Pegasus code could be installed on the phone, even if the target never answered the call. More recently NSO has begun exploiting vulnerabilities in Apple’s iMessage software, giving it backdoor access to hundreds of millions of iPhones. Apple says it is continually updating its software to prevent such attacks.

So best you can do is make sure your OS is as update to date as possible (a problem for older Android phones) and yes be careful what software you download, and from where.
