#CSAM Regulation Update: Dutch #Intelligence agency weighs in

The resulting situation is regarded by #AIVD as too large a risk for our #digital #resilience. (…) Applying detection orders to providers of end-to-end encrypted communications entails too large a #security risk for our digital resilience.

Ukraine bans #Telegram on #military, govt devices over #security risks

source: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ukraine-bans-telegram-on-military-govt-devices-over-security-risks/

Ukrainian officials representing the country's Security Service and the General Staff of the Armed Forces also warned that #Russia "actively" uses Telegram for cyberattacks, #phishing, #malware distribution, and coordinating #missile strikes.

This is not a revolutionary realization. It would be interesting to know whether the Russian secret service has also infiltrated servers in order to expose users and monitor them specifically.

Is Tor still safe to use?

Why hasn't the Tor Project been given all the info they need to keep us safe? What about Responsible Disclosure? This upsets me.

https://blog.torproject.org/tor-is-still-safe/

From the limited information The Tor Project has, we believe that one user of the long-retired application Ricochet was fully de-anonymized through a guard discovery attack. This was possible, at the time, because the user was using a version of the software that neither had Vanguards-lite, nor the vanguards addon, which were introduced to protect users from this type of attack. This protection exists in Ricochet-Refresh, a maintained fork of the long-retired project Ricochet, since version 3.0.12 released in June of 2022.

In contrast to the CCC, Chaos Computer Club, who was provided access to the documents related to the case and was able to analyze and validate the reporter's assumptions, we were only provided a vague outline and asked broad clarifying questions that left us with uncertainty of the facts, and questions of our own. While we appreciate the journalist contacting us, this same access was not given to the Tor Project.\
\
Given the potential risk to our users, we decided to go public. We requested that anyone with additional information about the case share it with us. This would allow us to conduct our own analysis and determine the best course of action to protect our users.\
\
To be clear, The Tor Project did not intend to ask for the sources of the story, but sought to understand what evidence existed for a de-anonymization attack to accurately respond to the investigating reporter's questions and assess our disclosure responsibilities. And we continue to have an interest in obtaining more information about how Onion Services users were de-anonymized. If we had access to the same documents as CCC, it would be possible to produce a report with more clarity regarding the actual state of the Tor network and how it affects the great majority of its users.\
\
We need more details about this case. In the absence of facts, it is hard for us to issue any official guidance or responsible disclosures to the Tor community, relay operators, and users.

Billionaire #LarryEllison says a vast #AI -fueled #surveillance #system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that #problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

"Simpler solution for disabling the DCM telematics -- Silencing Antennas"

"We just bought our 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road at the end of November and in reading through the manual found out that we could contact Toyota to opt out of data reselling (to insurance companies and advertisers) but couldn't actually disable our Data Communication Module (DCM)/Telematics module from connecting to the internet via user-accessible menus from the truck."

So you can opt out of the data reselling but you can't opt out of the data collection.

This got my attention because it made me wonder, is this kind of data collection happing for all or almost all new cars these days? Do essentially all new cars have "an internet connected computer sitting on my CAN Bus"?

"After tearing apart my passenger dash by removing the scuff plate, cowl side trim board, instrument side panel, passenger knee airbag, glove compartment plate, and finally the glove box/'instrument lower panel assembly' with a trim tool, a philips, and a 10 mm socket I was able to see the DCM module on the far right with the three antenna connectors."

Post goes on to describe modifications to the vehicle. They are specific to this vehicle so unless you have the same vehicle, and feel comfortable doing maintenance on your vehicle, you might not be interested in what follows.

"If my understanding of the Toyota documentation is correct, this should continue to run happily with the DCM/telematics module believing it is out of cell coverage range, and then just overwriting the oldest events in the internal memory in the vain hope it someday hears a cell tower again. The nice part of this approach is should I (or the dealer) ever need to undo this mod, it's completely reversible. Since the three radios were properly terminated into a 50-ohm terminator, there won't be any damage to the transmitting or receiving side of the DCM module, and there also won't be any damage to the wiring on the D37 connector either."

"Altogether, this only took about an hour and a half to do once I figured out the right combination of connectors to use."

#Flagrant_délit–«A quoi sert la monnaie numérique?» : la réponse (très) gênée du gouvernement britannique

«Heu.. à quoi ça sert ?», répète laborieusement le numéro deux du Trésor James Bowler, visiblement pas préparé à cette question pourtant simple.

Et pris de court, d’avouer benoîtement:

«Il s'agit de suivre à la trace la réalité de la façon dont nous allons tous... heu… acheter, économiser et travailler avec nos biens.»

Pourquoi? Mystère, puisque cela n'est strictement d'aucune utilité au citoyen lambda.

«Mais... heu..., il s'agit d'être une économie.... heu... moderne.»

Heureusement parce qu'on aurait pu croire qu'un gouvernement totalitaire cherchait à mettre en place l'outil ultime d'asservissement des peuples.
