Help us kick Bezos in the dick - Boss Baby Bezos is at it again!

Amazon opened a union busting website for people to report workers unions.
So lets do the world a favor and waste Jeff´s time, money and live energy (i hope) by spamming his website with bogus reports.

Eat shit, Jeff.

OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei’s next company is literally called Nothing

Its first ‘smart devices’ will release in the first half of this year.

Carl Pei, the OnePlus co-founder who parted ways with the company last year, has announced the name of his next venture: Nothing. It describes itself as a “London based consumer technology company” and counts the likes of iPod inventor Tony Fadell, Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, and YouTuber Casey Neistat as investors. It plans to release its first “smart devices” in the first half of this year.

“Nothing’s mission is to remove barriers between people and technology to create a seamless digital future,” says Pei, Nothing’s founder and CEO, in a press release. “We believe that the best technology is beautiful, yet natural and intuitive to use. When sufficiently advanced, it should fade into the background and feel like nothing.”

Malware "Emotet" dismantled

German investigators have taken over and smashed the infrastructure of the "Emotet" malware, which is considered the most dangerous in the world. The software had also attacked the IT infrastructure of government agencies and hospitals.

German investigators have taken over and smashed the infrastructure of the "Emotet" malware, which is considered the world's most dangerous. This was achieved on Tuesday as part of an internationally concerted action, the BKA announced.

"Emotet" had caused considerable damage to the Berlin Court of Appeal, the Fürth Clinic and the Frankfurt am Main city administration, among others - and also to tens of thousands of private individuals.

Netwalker ransomware dark web sites seized by law enforcement

The dark web websites associated with the Netwalker ransomware operation have been seized by law enforcement from the USA and Bulgaria.

Netwalker is a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation that began operating in late 2019, where affiliates are enlisted to distribute the ransomware and infect victims in return for a 60-75% share of ransom payments.

This ransomware operation proved to be very profitable for the threat actors, with an August report estimating that they generated $25 million in just five months.

Today, the Netwalker ransomware Tor payment and data leak sites were seized by law enforcement and now display a seizure notice from the FBI and Bulgarian law enforcement.

Authorities plan to mass-uninstall Emotet from infected hosts on March 25, 2021

The world's largest malware botnet will become extinct by April after today's coordinated takedown and planned clean-up operations.

Law enforcement officials in the Netherlands are in the process of delivering an Emotet update that will remove the malware from all infected computers on March 25, 2021, ZDNet has learned today.

The update was made possible after law enforcement agencies from across eight countries orchestrated a coordinated takedown this week to seize servers and arrest individuals behind Emotet, considered today's largest malware botnet.

While servers were located across multiple countries, Dutch officials said that two of three of Emotet's primary command and control (C&C) servers were located inside its borders.

Telegram 7.4 now allows import of WhatsApp chats (and others)

Telegram has a nice feature for users who want to switch from WhatsApp to Telegram, for example. With the new version 7.4, which is currently being distributed for iOS, you can quickly import messages from WhatsApp into Telegram. We have tested this and it works perfectly, at least for text messages.

In WhatsApp, you go to a chat and click on the contact at the top, which takes you to the contact info - where you will probably also find the item "Export chat". This can be done with or without media. This ensures that the chat can be exported - but if you select Telegram and the person in question as the storage location, the chat is imported from WhatsApp into Telegram.

What we noticed: Media is not displayed, only the file names. Text chats, on the other hand, are correctly ported from WhatsApp to Telegram. That could certainly help one or the other. And if not, you can export the chat and save it as a ZIP file locally - the archive will then contain the text file and the media. Telegram also mentions Line and Kakao Talk as possible export messengers in the changelog.

The Spy in Your Phone

In mid-2020, a mobile phone belonging to an Al Jazeera Arabic investigative team was hacked. Over the next few months, reporter Tamer Almisshal and the Canadian research group Citizen Lab investigated Pegasus, the sophisticated spyware used.

Pegasus is manufactured by an Israeli technology company called the NSO Group and is among the most advanced spyware in the world. It can access and infiltrate a smartphone without the owner clicking a link, opening an email or even answering their phone - meaning it can go undetected.

NOTHING TO HIDE documentary (Eng, 2017)

NOTHING TO HIDE is an independent documentary dealing with surveillance and its acceptance by the general public through the “I have nothing to hide” argument. The documentary was produced and directed by a pair of Berlin-based journalists, Mihaela Gladovic and Marc Meillassoux. It was crowdfunded by over 400 backers.

NOTHING TO HIDE questions the growing, puzzling and passive public acceptance of massive corporate and governmental incursions into individual and group privacy and rights.

All about the Reddit, Gamestop and Wall Street mess

Translated from: https://threader.app/thread/1354498295377354752

I'm no stock market expert, but I'm living from the inside a historic thing. Everyone will already know about the Reddit, Gamestop and Wall Street mess, well, a lot of dark things have happened in these last two days. I'm going to do one thing I've always wanted to do, I'm opening thread:

To give you some context, a Wall Street fund (people with a lot of money) is playing "short" with Gamestop. To simplify, this means that if their stock goes down, they take a lot of money.

Well, in reddit we have agreed and we have made the share price take off from about 10$, up to 300$ today. The idea is easy, buy shares and do not sell. This, of course, is making Melvin Capital, in this case, lose a lot of money.

The stock is rising 100% daily to unimaginable numbers, but along the way, we have received several attacks to try to interrupt the rise, I start with the first one:

1. Coordination of several companies to force the stock down. How do they do this? By buying a lot of shares and selling them in a very short time, causing a drastic fall in the price.

This makes investors think that the "bubble" has burst, and they want to pull out all their shares at once, thus causing the price to fall even more, inciting other investors to pull out their money... and so on. Attached are photos of 3 coordinated attacks:

Attack 2. Seeing that this did not work, it was time for Fake News. Several of the most famous trading and investment media published the news that Melvin Capital had already gotten rid of the "short" shares it had.

Strange as it may seem, to get rid of these "short" shares they have to buy more Gamestop shares. Thus, it is something "remarkable" in the share price.

This caused GameStop's premarket to go from +130%, to +40%, that is, they lowered the share price by 90%. Soon after, Reddit users made calculations and came to the conclusion that this was a lie.

The numbers didn't add up, GameStop's volume hadn't changed enough. We're talking about Melvin Capital having billions of dollars invested short GameStop, and there had been no radical change in stock market volume.

Soon after discovering that this was a lie, the news disappeared from the websites.... The premarket recovered and returned to +100%. It was time for the stock market to open, and the attacks continued.

Attack 3. At the opening of the stock market, all the trading applications for investing of "non-professional" users are down. We are talking about RobinHood, Etoro, Ameritrade... the most used applications of reddit users, all fall, preventing the purchase of + shares.

This makes the stock drop from about $300 to $250. After a while, the apps recover and the price goes back up to $300. We continue that this does not end here.

Attack 4. Bots. Suddenly, the Reddit forum is full of junk posts from newly registered people. Last week we were 2M users, as of today, it has risen to 3millons. All the new posts refer to other stocks, trying to divert attention to other markets.

Among which are Nokia or BlackBerry for example. And not only that, but the shares of these companies equally soar, Nokia gaining even 100% in just a few hours. Attached photos:

Thank goodness the forum Moderators are doing a great job and cleaning the forum of all this garbage, people start voting "dislike" to this kind of posts, and "liking" GameStop's posts, making the bots get lost in oblivion.

Attack 5. Social networks. With the same idea as the previous one, they want to divert GME's attention to other markets. How do they do it? In this case, Twitter. They create the hashtag SaveAMC, and it becomes a trending topic in the US.

What is AMC? It's a movie theater company that was facing bankruptcy because of Covid. Suddenly, its stock goes up 200% for no apparent reason. Anyway, GameStop's stock is unaffected and continues to rise.

WhatsApp and the domestication of users

I have never used WhatsApp, and never will. Despite this, I still feel the need to write an article about WhatsApp since it’s the perfect case study to help understand a class of businesses models I call “user domestication”. The domestication of users is high on my list of problems plaguing the human race, and is worth a detailed explanation.

With the meta-explanation out of the way, let us begin.

💡 WhatsApp’s rise

For those unfamiliar, WhatsApp is a tool that makes it convenient and easy to help Facebook further its core mission: the optimization and auctioning of human behavior (colloquially known as “targeted advertising”). It originally persuaded people to consent to this by allowing them to send text to each other over the Internet, something that was already possible, and combining an easy-to-learn UI with successful marketing. It then expanded to include features such as voice and video calls.

Having its own proprietary chat system incompatible with other clients allowed WhatsApp to build a network effect: WhatsApp’s existing users were held captive by the fact that leaving WhatsApp meant losing the ability to communicate with WhatsApp users. People switching from WhatsApp must convince all their friends to switch, too; this includes less technically inclined friends who had a hard time learning WhatsApp in the first place.

In a WhatsApp world, people who want to keep in touch must abide by the following rules:

ProtonMail, Tutanota among authors of letter urging EU to reconsider encryption rules

Encrypted service providers are urging lawmakers to back away from a controversial plan that critics say would undercut effective data protection measures.

ProtonMail, Threema, Tresorit and Tutanota — all European companies that offer some form of encrypted services — issued a joint statement this week declaring that a resolution the European Council adopted on Dec. 14 is ill-advised. That measure calls for “security through encryption and security despite encryption,” which technologists have interpreted as a threat to end-to-end encryption. In recent months governments around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and Japan, have been reigniting conversations about law enforcement officials’ interest in bypassing encryption, as they have sporadically done for years.

In a letter that will be sent to council members on Thursday, the authors write that the council’s stated goal of endorsing encryption, and the council’s argument that law enforcement authorities must rely on accessing electronic evidence “despite encryption,” contradict one another. The advancement of legislation that forces technology companies to guarantee police investigators a way to intercept user messages, for instance, repeatedly has been scrutinized by technology leaders who argue there is no way to stop such a tool from being abused.

The painfully slow digitalization of Germany's health care system - Tackling COVID with paper, pen and a fax machine

The painfully slow digitalization of Germany's health care system has long been a source of frustration. But the inefficiency is hampering attempts to fight the pandemic.

Whether it's Ebola, monkeypox, Lassa fever or meningococcus, for years, epidemics in Nigeria and Ghana have been fought with German software. "Surveillance Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System," or SORMAS, is the name of the networked system for contact tracing and recording infection hotspots that epidemiologists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig developed when Ebola was raging in West Africa in 2014.

The system, which is largely automated, has now been modified and matured to the point where it can be used to combat 37 infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Switzerland and France, and also Fiji, are using SORMAS to combat the coronavirus. Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Nepal and Afghanistan are also preparing to deploy it.

Bot Lets Hackers Easily Look Up Facebook Users' Phone Numbers

The person selling access to the service claims it has data on 500 million Facebook users.

A user of a low-level cybercriminal forum is selling access to a database of phone numbers belonging to Facebook users, and conveniently letting customers look up those numbers by using an automated Telegram bot.

Although the data is several years old, it still presents a cybersecurity and privacy risk to those whose phone numbers may be exposed—one person advertising the service says it contains data on 500 million users. Facebook told Motherboard the data relates to a vulnerability the company fixed in August 2019.

"It is very worrying to see a database of that size being sold in cybercrime communities, it harms our privacy severely and will certainly be used for smishing and other fraudulent activities by bad actors," Alon Gal, co-founder and CTO of cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock, and who first alerted Motherboard about the bot, said.

China releases draft of major new privacy law: why it matters to everyone online

China has frequently figured in this blog, usually in the context of its censorship, surveillance activities, and wide-ranging abuse of human rights. But there’s another side to the story. Like other people around the world, China’s billion or so Internet users want their privacy protected when they go online. Trying to satisfy that need while preserving state control is a tough problem that the Chinese authorities have been grappling with recently. Back in May 2018, the Personal Information Security Specification took effect.

It offered “granular guidelines for consent and how personal data (called “personal information”) should be collected, used, and shared”, as the introduction to a translation of the new digital rules by New America puts it. Now the Chinese government has followed that up with a draft version of the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), a far more comprehensive and rigorous approach to protecting the digital privacy of Chinese citizens. A blog post on New America explains:

"China’s draft PIPL represents a third way between the sectoral U.S. approach, which applies different rules for specific industries or classes of consumers, and the European Union’s comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework, which enshrines fundamental rights across contexts. With the draft law, China’s evolving data governance regime emphasizes consumer privacy while also prioritizing national security through data localization measures, cross-border data flow restrictions, and continued surveillance and law enforcement powers."

The New America post points out that the PIPL draws quite heavily on the GDPR, which provides further proof of the influence of the latter legislation, something noted many times before on this blog. In the draft, the definitions of personal information, sensitive information, individual rights, and legal bases for processing, all have similarities to the EU framing. However, China’s requirements for national security mean that there are important differences when it comes to data flows.

Under the GDPR, these are allowed provided privacy is safeguarded. Under the PIPL, the limitations are far greater. China’s existing “Cybersecurity law” requires data held by so-called “critical information infrastructure” operators – essentially the most important digital companies – to be stored in China. The PIPL would require personal data referring to Chinese citizens to be stored within the country, even for some smaller companies. A rigorous assessment by China’s cybersecurity department is needed before any personal data can be sent abroad. In addition, the PIPL would grant the authorities the power to establish a blacklist of overseas companies that are banned from processing Chinese personal data if it is determined they violate China’s national security interests.

Moreover, the PIPL would allow the government to retaliate against entire countries that are deemed to have taken discriminatory regulatory measures against Chinese companies in the field of data protection. This is clearly with a view to counter the growing calls in the West to shut out Chinese companies from processing citizens’ personal data.

Facebook Preps Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple

The antitrust lawsuit would contend that Apple has abused its power in the smartphone industry by enforcing App Store rules that Apple itself supposedly does not have to follow. Within this, the case would argue rules such as the requirement that developers use Apple's own in-app payment service, make it harder to compete in areas such as gaming, messaging, and shopping.

iOS 14's App Tracking Transparency feature, which allows users to opt-out of being tracked via an on-screen prompt, is believed to be central to Facebook's case. Facebook alleges that the prompts are unfair because they do not appear for Apple's own apps, offering it a competitive advantage. However, Apple's apps do not track users or share data for advertising purposes, so this seems to be a bemusing foundation for the lawsuit.

In addition to App Tracking Transparency, Facebook is expected to focus on Apple's refusal to allow third-party messaging apps to be installed as the default option on iPhones and iPads. The company lobbied Apple to allow users to choose Facebook's Messenger app as the default on iOS instead of iMessage in September last year, and it now claims that Apple disallows other messaging apps to be set as default in an effort to prevent people from switching to competing smartphone brands.

Facebook has also reportedly considered inviting other companies to participate in its prospective lawsuit against Apple. A natural ally would seemingly be Epic Games, which has been embroiled in a legal battle with Apple since Fortnite was removed from the App Store for breaking Apple's rules.

The news appears to be a considerable escalation in tensions between the two companies, which have become increasingly fraught in recent months. For example, in December, Facebook paid for a series of full-page advertisements in national newspapers to berate ‌iOS 14‌'s App Tracking Transparency, saying that it harms small businesses.

During Facebook's quarterly earnings call with investors yesterday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Apple's business is increasingly focused "on gaining share in apps and services against us and other developers." He continued, "so Apple has every incentive to use their dominant platform position to interfere with how our apps and other apps work, which they regularly do to preference their own."

While Facebook may be seeking monetary damages, the preferable outcome is believed to be significant changes to Apple's platform restrictions and ‌App Store‌ rules. The Information notes that in spite of Facebook's legal preparations, it may yet decide to not bring the case to court.

Silicon Valley hasn’t innovated since 1978

I’m serious. Name one thing in computing that showed up after 1978 that wasn’t either an incremental improvement on a pre-1978 technology or a crappier but cheaper version of a pre-1978 technology. I’m not trying to produce sophistry here. There’s a huge difference in the level of novelty of original research in computing tech during the span 1940–1980 and the level of novelty in the same after 1980, & it relates directly to economics.

From 1940 to 1980, computer science was being done by folks with doctorates & experience in other disciplines, funded by government money to do pure research & moonshot shit — especially ARPA funding starting in the wake of Sputnik for ed-tech. When that funding dried up, so did productivity in original research, because the ability to continue to be employed depended on profitability in a consumer market (which means racing to market… which means avoiding risky detours).

The exact same people have drastically different productivity levels with the two models. Kay at PARC in the 70s went from having seen a sketchpad demo to having a complete functioning live-editable GUI with network transparency in 10 years, because of government ed-tech money. In the early 80s, Kay moved to Atari & tried to continue the kind of work he had been doing. And then he got laid off, and went to Apple, got laid off again. The work he started in the 70s has been treading water because short term profits can’t support deep research.

Google Pressed in Lawsuit to Dump Telegram Just Like Parler

A former U.S. ambassador wants Google to do to Telegram what it did to Parler.

Marc Ginsberg sued the Alphabet Inc. unit Monday, asking a California court to require it to remove the Telegram Messenger app from the Google Play Store because it facilitates violence, extremism and anti-Semitism.

Telegram, especially in the wake of George Floyd’s killing and the inauguration of Joe Biden as president, has been used to threaten, encourage and coordinate racist violence, claims Ginsberg, who was Bill Clinton’s ambassador to Morocco. He pointed out that, after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Google suspended Parler from its app store because a number of its right-wing users expressed support for the siege and further violence.

“Google has not taken any action against Telegram comparable to the action it has taken against Parler to compel Telegram to improve its content moderation policies,” Ginsberg’s suit says. He filed a similar complaint on Jan. 17 against Apple Inc., which had also pulled Parler from its app store after the riot.
