#Who Paid for a Mysterious #Spy Tool? The F.B.I., an F.B.I. Inquiry Found.

source: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/31/us/politics/nso-spy-tool-landmark-fbi.html

The deal for the surveillance tool between the contractor, Riva Networks, and #NSO was completed in November 2021. Only days before, the #Biden administration had put NSO on a Commerce Department blacklist, which effectively banned U.S. firms from doing business with the company. For years, NSO’s #spyware had been abused by governments around the world.

Not from the Onion : Unlike the #Pegasus case in #Spain, in #France, the French government held formal talks with #Israel.

In fact, the then Israeli foreign minister, #Lapid, visited France at the end of 2021.

In addition, #Paris asked #TelAviv to exclude phones with a French code from the numbers susceptible to being hacked by the program of the Israeli company #NSO Group.

In this sense, France keeps the investigation of the cases of espionage with Pegasus open, while in Spain the case has been closed due to lack of "cooperation" from Israel.

In the case of Spain, no Israeli official has visited the country.

The #Moroccan journalist exiled in Spain, Ali Lmrabet, commented that #Madrid "did not protest as France did, because it does not want to disturb Morocco in any way."

Even #AIPAC Would Struggle to Love the Israel Seen in

If you’ve been following the Pegasus story closely over the past few years, there’s probably not that much to be gleaned from this documentary – but there will definitely be something, writes @AdrianHennigan1

A new documentary about the #NSO Group and its #Pegasus spyware whets the appetite for a fictional recreation that might capture the true behind-the-scenes drama. It's also a bleak reminder that Israel is a world leader in exporting #spyware to governments that don’t give a rat’s ass about human rights.

On diffrent planets...

How obvious spyware is not recognized as such by people who should know better.

Sometimes it becomes apparent that people around me live on a completely different planet than myself. A couple of days ago the marketing people at my $DAYJOB posted a nice happy blog post about how to use one of our products to easily integrate Google Analytics (from now on "the spyware") on a website.

When I told them that this seemed inappropriate as the spyware has been (rightfully) found to violate the GDPR and illegal by a growing number of DPA's in the EU, they didn't even know about it. And even worse they clearly don't believe me.

I'm not sure if this is pure (willful?) ignorance, or that they probably use the vendor of the spyware to find information on the web and mainly get their news via commercial spyware (aka "social media") that has the same business model. I do begin to wonder though.

Thanks to @noybeu@mastodon.social for thorough documentation of the issue, and especially the links to the original decisions by the DPA's.

well, if these two are managed opposition shills buying trust, they're succesfully making a fairly large purchase here with me and those #healthy #rants.

So... Last night I "upgraded" my phone to Android 12. Big mistake. It claimed to have improved battery saving technology and security features. Oh no. It never drained the battery from 100 to 1 in two hours before. Hundreds of new eye candy "features" everywhere added, each with new innovative ways to send data over the network. Unremovable. No choice. This version appeared to have been designed and managed by marketing engineers. All the quiet non-connected settings I had were altered. Or removed. Animations everywhere. No longer possible to set the lockscreen background. It's gone. Now my phone looks like any other branded phone at the cell phone kiosks. Watching the power consumption, it's at least 3x with the screen turned off and locked. Lots of wakeups and network access. All my defaults, like zero "emergency alerts" were turned on again so I could hear scary Amber Alerts all day and night. I'm thinking of all the security attack vectors they've added from all these useless mandatory networking "features." This is Android 12.

This may force me to go to full Linux by the end of the year. The phone is no longer mine. It's been overtaken by unremovable features that like to chat over the network.

here we see rumble’s managed opposition fascist panopticon orwellianism. oh, just to verify my account is it? how nice sounding.

i miss the internet of 1995-2005.

well, i hope i managed to promote free software and freedom respecting free software federated coms, before they closed that "free speech" window. and i hope they dont delete/demote those various posts. i wonder if it was the many times i encouraged people set up their own peertube instances... maybe they didnt like me promoting ways out of their managed overton window.

distrust 'em. crooks. was obvious from the start.

still, was nice to have that fantasy comfort for a while... to hear messages from outside the tightest overton window of the corporate "mainstream". nice to see facilitations at least one level of the matryoshka matrix up n out one more of the onion of plato's caves. :/ when already seen several more layers out yet... can be hard watching people lap up the red-vs-blue duopoly ploys that keep them divided and conquered in the conflationary over-simplifications. painful... knowing there are psychopathic cliques of eugenicists, genocidalists, anthrocidalists, ecocidalists, omnicidalists, and just plain old sadistic murderers, amond the consolidated centers of power-over which so attract the worst. #kakistarchy.

#Microsoft says it caught an Austrian #spyware group using previously unknown #Windows #exploits

source: https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/27/23281215/microsoft-austrian-commercial-spyware-dsirf-knotweed-intelligence-committee

The spyware developer — officially named #DSIRF but which Microsoft tracks under the codename #KNOTWEED — made spyware known as Subzero that was used to target law firms, banks, and consultancy firms in the #UK, #Austria, and #Panama, Microsoft said. Analysis from #MSTIC found that exploits used by DSIRF to compromise systems included a zero-day privilege escalation exploit for Windows and an Adobe Reader remote code execution attack.

#Google kicks #FairEmail out of the #Android #PlayStore because of alleged #spyware.

source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-5-0-fairemail-fully-featured-open-source-privacy-oriented-email-app.3824168/page-1087#post-86908335

According to Google FairEmail is spyware because it uploads the contact list. My guess is this is because of the usage of favicons, which will use the domain name of email addresses to fetch info. This feature has been removed from the Play store version now.

...

I have removed all my apps from the Play store and I will stop supporting and maintaining my apps. Google won.

#Spain's head of #government and #defense #minister attacked with #Pegasus #spyware

source: https://elpais.com/espana/2022-05-02/el-gobierno-informa-que-los-telefonos-de-sanchez-y-robles-han-sido-infectados-con-el-programa-pegasus.html

Los atacantes extrajeron 2,6 gigas de datos del teléfono del presidente y nueve megas de la ministra de Defensa. El Ejecutivo no sabe aún cuál es la información robada y su grado de sensibilidad

So 2.6 GB from the head of government and only 9 MB from the female defense minister. I can only explain this imbalance by heavy porn consumption. ;)
