The EU's new Cyber Resilience Act is about to tell us how to code (and fine us hugely if we don't)

The EU’s new Cyber Resilience Act is admirable in its goal. And the EU is not alone in thinking something needs to be done about the dreadful state of security online – the Biden administration has just released its National Cybersecurity Strategy that has similar aims.

tl;dr
The extremely short version: The EU is going to task a standardisation body to write a document that tells everyone marketing products and software in the EU how to code securely. This to further the EU Essential Cybersecurity Requirements. For critical software and products, EU notified bodies (which until now have mostly done physical equipment and process certifications) will do audits to determine if code and products adhere to this standard. And if not, there could be huge fines.

Mullvad becomes highest level of Tor Member (Shallot)

Mullvad has been a Tor Project Vidalia Onion Member since 2021 and has now become a Shallot Onion Member of Tor.

Contributing to communities and organisations that really strive to improve privacy and integrity online is important for Mullvad. Unfortunately, there are very few. Those that understand privacy, actively work to improve anti-fingerprinting and to protect users against more advanced attacks - are even fewer.

We believe that the Tor Project is one such organisation. We share their values when it comes to human rights, freedom of expression, anti-censorship and online privacy.

Secret Service and ICE conducted illegal surveillance through fake cell towers

A newly-released report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) revealed that federal agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), used cell-site simulators (CSS) to illegally conduct surveillance.

CSS, aka Stingrays, are devices that mimic cell phone towers, duping mobile devices within a certain radius to connect to them instead of cell towers. Once connected to the CSS, law enforcement can conduct a search of the devices, in violation of basic constitutional freedoms.

Zippyshare - Inofrmation about the closure of the project

Hey Folks,

We’ve decided that we’re shutting down the project at the end of the month. Please make backups of your important files, you have about two weeks to do so. Until then, the site will run without any changes.

There are several reasons for the closure:

– Since 2006 we have been on the market in an unchanged form, that is, as ad financed/free file hosting. However, you have been visiting in less and less over the years, as the arguably very simple formula of the services we offer is slowly running out of steam. I guess all the competing file storage service companies on the market look better, offer better performance and more features. No one needs a dinosaur like us anymore.

Indian government gives itself the power to β€œfact-check” and delete social media posts

Journalists, opposition parties, and advocacy groups are worried what this β€œabsolute power” means for press freedom in India

The Indian government on April 6 announced a state-run fact-checking unit that will have sweeping powers to label any piece of information related to the government as β€œfake, false or misleading” and have it removed from social media. The country has tweaked its tech rules that now require platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to take down content flagged by the fact-checking body. Internet service providers are also expected to block URLs to such content. Failure to comply could result in the platforms losing safe harbor protection that safeguards them from legal action against any content posted by their users, said India’s minister of information technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

β€œThe amended rules now also make it obligatory on the intermediaries to not to publish, share or host fake, false or misleading information in respect of any business of the Central Government. [This] fake, false or misleading information will [be] identified by the notified Fact Check Unit of the Central Government,” the government said in a press release.

Global Surveillance: The Secretive Swiss Dealer Enabling Israeli Spy Firms

The international mobile system is exposed and a loophole allows hackers, cybercriminals and states to geolocate targets and even hijack email and web accounts. Israelis can be found among the victims - and the attackers

How to be Invisible Online (and the hard truth about it)

Don't be fooled ... Occupy The Web (OTW) tells us the hard truth about being anonymous online. The brutal truth: Will using your neigbors wifi keep you anonymous? Can you hide from the NSA? Can you hide from Google and other companies? Will Tor help you? Will Proxy Chains help? Which phone do you need to use - Android or iPhone or something else? Which operating system - Windows, macOS or Linux? What is the truth? What do you need to use?

In this follow-up post, we clarify misunderstandings about channel deletion on Telegram, learned through interactions with Reddit users, Telegram Support, and Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. It appears you can’t delete channels with over 1K subscribers β€” only Telegram Support can, shedding new light on our previous β€œunauthorized channel restoration” misunderstanding.

File Archiver In The Browser

This article explores a phishing technique that emulates a file archiver software in the browser while using a .zip domain.

Introduction

Last week Google released several new top-level domains (TLDs) including .dad, .phd, .mov and .zip. Many members of the security community began posting about concerns they had with TLDs that can be mistaken for file extensions, specifically, .mov and .zip. The intention of this article isn’t to discuss my opinion on the topic, instead, I’ll be showcasing how it can be used to enhance phishing engagements.

With this phishing attack, you simulate a file archiver software (e.g. WinRAR) in the browser and use a .zip domain to make it appear more legitimate.

Documenting the rise of facial recognition in the UK

Facial recognition surveillance turns us into walking ID cards, and treats members of the public like suspects in a high-tech police line up.

Our new detailed report, Biometric Britain: The Expansion of Facial Recognition Surveillance, lays out how police, retailers, tech companies and even some schools are investing huge sums of money into this intrusive technology.
