Google is removing Fediverse apps from the Play Store because they can be used to access hate speech
A growing number of mobile apps meant to access the Fediverse are being removed from the Google Play Store. According to user reports, recently removed apps include Husky, Subway Tooter, and Fedilab. In a nutshell, a Fediverse is any combination of interconnected servers that can be used for web publishing and can manifest in something like Mastodon. Apps like Subway Tooter allow users to access Mastodon content which is hosted on individual servers in the Fediverse. The operators of the servers in the Fediverse (and often in the Internet at large) are responsible for moderating hate speech, not the operators of the apps used to access said servers.
Despite this established web browser model, The official reason given by Google for the removal of Fediverse apps is that these apps can be used to access servers which have microblogs or other content which are dedicated to hate speech. Newsflash: Mobile apps like Google Chrome can be used to access the exact same hate speech. That is the web browser model. Even out of the browser world that can take you to servers located in unknown corners of the world, such speech can be found on other front and center social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

Google is removing Fediverse apps from the Play Store because they can be used to access hate speech
A growing number of mobile apps meant to access the Fediverse are facing removal from the Google Play Store. According to user reports, recently notified
Surprise! Even Google's engineers don't understand its privacy controls
From their very inception, tech companies haven't been keen on privacy. They've also not been keen on making privacy controls easy. As court documents just revealed.
It's an empty feeling.
You discover that something you've always suspected to be true -- even when denied by a tech company -- turns out to be, oh, true.
In some way, you almost feel guilty. You want to beat yourself about the head muttering "I knew it. I just knew it."
So here we are finally seeing that Google's own engineers don't even understand the company's privacy controls.
In court documents unsealed last week in Arizona, a (sadly unnamed) Google engineer offers this 2018 email about the company's location tracking controls: "Location off should mean location off, not 'except for this case or that case.' The current UI feels like it is designed to make things possible, yet difficult enough that people won't figure it out."
Who would ever believe a company that flouted privacy more enthusiastically and more often than a flasher could make privacy controls so impenetrable that even the company's own large brains couldn't figure them out?
Those tech companies were run by such wily young people in days of yore. Ever since Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg insisted in 2010 that people didn't want privacy, you had a feeling that you were never going to get any.

Predictions on Empire Market User Migration After $30 Million Exit Scam
Experts have predicted that White House, Versus, and Icarus Markets stand to be the most probable candidates to absorb victims of the $30 million Empire Market exit scam
Like weather, the dark web is defined by clear cycles that denote the natural stages of darknet markets and how they respond to law enforcement, DDoS attacks and several other so-called “enemies”.
Being fuelled by illicit operations, dark web markets have continuously failed to provide the much-needed user protection to shield buyers and vendors from losses resulting from law enforcement seizures and exit scams.
Nonetheless, the widespread uncertainty has not prevented the dark web ecosystem from wielding unmatched dynamism, which is evidenced by emergence of new markets and migration of users to adjust to the already-mentioned enemies of the darknet.

Russian internet trolls hired U.S. journalists to push their news website, Facebook says
Facebook said the website is run by people affiliated with the Internet Research Agency, which inflamed political tensions in the 2016 election through social media.
Some of Russia’s most notorious internet trolls have launched a news website that hired real-life journalism freelancers — including Americans — to contribute, Facebook said Tuesday.
The site, called Peace Data, launched this year with coverage focused largely on the environment and corporate and political corruption. Facebook learned through a tip from the FBI that people formerly associated with the Russian Internet Research Agency, which created a number of influential Twitter and Facebook personas to inflame political tensions in the 2016 election, ran Peace Data and has taken down its known affiliated accounts. It had yet to gain a serious following, said Nathaniel Gleicher, the company’s head of cybersecurity policy.
“It confirms what I think we’ve all thought: Russian actors are trying to target the 2020 elections and public debate in the U.S., and they’re trying to be creative about it,” Gleicher said.
“But the second thing that it confirms is, it’s not really working,” he said. “You can run a loud, noisy influence campaign like the one we saw in 2016, and you get caught very quickly. Or you can try to run a much more subtle campaign, which is what this looks like. And A, you still get caught, and B, when you run a subtle influence campaign, you’re sort of working at cross-purposes with yourself. You don’t get a lot of attention for it.”

US Authorities Can Now Track the Privacy-Focused Monero Cryptocurrency
The leading crypto intelligence firm CipherTrace has developed a toolset to assist U.S. law enforcement to track the privacy-centric Monero cryptocurrency.
The cryptocurrency analytics firm CipherTrace has made the announcement that they have created a toolset designed to help trace transactions made using the privacy-centric Monero virtual currency – stating that they did so under contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
‼️ Monero Can Now Be Tracked
A press release by CipherTrace stated that the goal behind development of the tracing tools was harnessed from the U.S. law enforcement need to track the transactions made across criminal networks using the Monero cryptocurrency.
The firm reflected on the fact that Monero has since grown to become the second most popular digital coin in the dark web – with estimate figures indicating that about 45 percent of dark web platforms have adopted Monero integration.
It is for the above reason that law enforcement interest has developed around the digital currency as the facilitator of darknet-backed cybercriminal enterprises. As mentioned already, Monero offers far better features than Bitcoin, including the ring signature mechanism to ensure user anonymity.
Ring signatures work to mix transactions so that when third party actors try to figure out the source of funds sent in Monero, it will appear as though multiple users participated in the transaction. The feature makes it virtually impossible for law enforcement agencies to identify the true sources of such funds.

Norway: E-mail accounts of members of parliament hacked
Emails of some members of the Norwegian parliament have apparently been hacked. The exact extent of the data outflow is still unclear.
The Norwegian Parliament announced on Tuesday that data had leaked from the e-mail accounts of some members and staff. The parliamentary administration had reported the incident to the police and was working closely with the relevant security authorities, the press release said. The incident had apparently already been noticed last week.

Afinum fully shares our values regarding security and privacy protection. The additional resources gained through this partnership enable Threema to grow beyond the German-speaking part of Europe, and we can use our energy for visionary new ideas and projects. That said, Threema’s founders – Manuel Kasper, Silvan Engeler, and Martin Blatter, all software developers – will continue to lead the company and still retain a significant ownership interest.
Open Source and Multi Device
Security and privacy protection are deeply ingrained in Threema’s DNA, which is why our code gets reviewed externally on a regular basis. Within the next months, the Threema apps will become fully open source, supporting reproducible builds. This is to say that anyone will be able to independently review Threema’s security and verify that the published source code corresponds to the downloaded app.
In the future, it will be possible to use multiple devices in parallel thanks to an innovative multi-device solution. In contrast to other approaches, no trace of personal data will be left behind on a server. Thanks to this technology, Threema can be used on a PC without a smartphone.
In conclusion, Threema will become even more trustworthy and even more convenient to use.

Warner Music Group finds hackers compromised its online stores
NOTICE OF DATA BREACH
On August 5, 2020, we learned that an unauthorized third party had compromised a number of US-based e-commerce
websites WMG operates but that are hosted and supported by an external service provider. This allowed the unauthorized third party to potentially acquire a copy of the personal information you entered into one or more of the affected website(s) between April 25, 2020 and August 5, 2020.
While we cannot definitively confirm that your personal information was affected, it is possible that it might have been
as your transaction(s) occurred during the period of compromise. If it was, this might have exposed you to a risk of
fraudulent transactions being carried out using your details.

rC3 – remote Chaos Experience
This year, CCC hosts the Remote Chaos Experience (rC3) instead of an on-site event in Leipzig.
💡 This endeavor requires creativity, joy of experimentation and active support.
A face-to-face event with 17,000 people will be neither responsible nor legally feasible this year. But after this tedious and painful 2020, we really deserve a nice finale!
This is why the rC3 – Remote Chaos Experience will be held.
As much as virtually possible, we want to convey the joy, content, togetherness and wonderful madness that make up a Chaos Communication Congress.
Hackers are used to remote work and online meetings. This makes our annual face-to-face meetings all the more important. Of course, it will be difficult to re-enact online all the things that make Congress what it is for us.
But then someone said it would be impossible. Our ambition was aroused.
Just like every year, we want to see the concentrated energy and creativity of hackers with dedication.

AlphaBay Darknet Market Moderator Handed 11-Year Prison Sentence
A former AlphaBay market moderator has been sentenced to 11 years in prison
A Colorado man who served as moderator for the now-defunct AlphaBay dark web market is set to spend 11 years of his life in prison.
Through a press statement by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), authorities announced that the 26-year-old Bryan Connor Herrell has been sentenced by the U.S. District Court Judge Dale Drozd to 11 years behind bars.
The convict had initially faced charges in June 2019 for the part he played in enabling the sale of illicit goods and services via the AlphaBay market. The court session took place in the Eastern District of California, with the defendant pleading guilty in January 2020.
Reportedly, the DOJ had planned to set a hearing date for the man’s sentencing in May, but took place just recently owing to the government-sanctioned restrictions related to the current global COVID-19 crisis.

Maltrail
Maltrail is a malicious traffic detection system, utilizing publicly available (black)lists containing malicious and/or generally suspicious trails, along with static trails compiled from various AV reports and custom user defined lists, where trail can be anything from domain name (e.g.
💡Architecture
Maltrail is based on the Traffic -> Sensor <-> Server <-> Client architecture. Sensor(s) is a standalone component running on the monitoring node (e.g. Linux platform connected passively to the SPAN/mirroring port or transparently inline on a Linux bridge) or at the standalone machine (e.g. Honeypot) where it "monitors" the passing Traffic for blacklisted items/trails (i.e. domain names, URLs and/or IPs). In case of a positive match, it sends the event details to the (central) Server where they are being stored inside the appropriate logging directory (i.e. LOG_DIR described in the Configuration section). If Sensor is being run on the same machine as Server (default configuration), logs are stored directly into the local logging directory. Otherwise, they are being sent via UDP messages to the remote server (i.e. LOG_SERVER described in the Configuration section).

Florida congressman wants Edward Snowden pardoned
TALLAHASSE, Fla. (CBS12) — U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-1) wants Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency whistleblower, pardoned.
Gaetz simply issued a one-word tweet with Snowden tagged on Thursday.
Snowden, 31, is a former CIA subcontractor who exposed the NSA's mass surveillance programs and capabilities in 2013. Snowden was charged with violating the Espionage Act and could face up to 30 years in prison. Because the US is pursuing his extradition, Snowden is now exiled in Russia.
On Wednesday, Snowden re-tweeted the ACLU, which reported that a U.S. federal court ruled that the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone records was illegal, saying "seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful."

It’s Time to Dismantle the DEA
For nearly 50 years, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has fueled mass incarceration, wasted taxpayer money, abused its authority and blocked scientific research.
It’s time for change.
By Every Measure the DEA and its Drug War Have Failed
The DEA was established in 1973 ostensibly to consolidate drug enforcement activities into a “superagency” that would bring together federal drug enforcement resources. In the last 50 years, it’s been a tremendous waste of resources and left a wake of devastation in the United States and abroad.
DEA personnel have repeatedly engaged in unlawful operations, spent lavishly, ignored civil rights, packed federal prisons, and still failed to make a significant impact on drug supply. Meanwhile, Congress has engaged in little scrutiny of the agency, its actions or its budget.
WASTING TAXPAYER FUNDS
The DEA is the central player in the failed war on drugs. When the DEA was created in 1973, it started with less than $75 million. In fiscal year 2020 U.S. taxpayers spent more than $3.1 billion on the DEA. President Trump asked for even more for fiscal year 2021 - a staggering $3.5 billion, with more than $520 million specifically for its international programs.
What has it done with all that money?
It has facilitated the growth of paramilitary forces on U.S. soil, expanded surveillance, and embedded itself in communities throughout the U.S. and abroad. It has directly participated in domestic enforcement at the local level and even conducted its own research and public propaganda campaigns.
Ten percent of its Special Agent and Intelligence Analysts are permanently stationed overseas conducting drug interdiction, including undercover operations, surveillance, money laundering, paying informants, and facilitating arrests. Internationally, the DEA-led drug war has contributed to increased violence in many countries, as well as political and economic instability.
