Dismantling Big Tech: A User’s Manual
Congress, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice and state governments across the U.S. are investigating the tech giants for anti-competitive behavior. This week on #Decrypted, #Bloomberg Technology’s Eric Newcomer walks us through those #investigations, and outlines how a #Democratic president may take it even further in 2021.

Digital dystopia: how algorithms punish the poor
In an exclusive global series, the Guardian lays bare the tech revolution transforming the welfare system worldwide – while penalising the most vulnerable
All around the world, from small-town Illinois in the US to Rochdale in England, from Perth, Australia, to Dumka in northern India, a revolution is under way in how governments treat the poor.
You can’t see it happening, and may have heard nothing about it. It’s being planned by engineers and coders behind closed doors, in secure government locations far from public view.
Only mathematicians and computer scientists fully understand the sea change, powered as it is by artificial intelligence (AI), predictive algorithms, risk modeling and biometrics. But if you are one of the millions of vulnerable people at the receiving end of the radical reshaping of welfare benefits, you know it is real and that its consequences can be serious – even deadly.
The Guardian has spent the past three months investigating how billions are being poured into AI innovations that are explosively recasting how low-income people interact with the state. Together, our reporters in the US, Britain, India and Australia have explored what amounts to the birth of the digital welfare state.
Their dispatches reveal how unemployment benefits, child support, housing and food subsidies and much more are being scrambled online. Vast sums are being spent by governments across the industrialized and developing worlds on automating poverty and in the process, turning the needs of vulnerable citizens into numbers, replacing the judgment of human caseworkers with the cold, bloodless decision-making of machines.
At its most forbidding, Guardian reporters paint a picture of a 21st-century Dickensian dystopia that is taking shape with breakneck speed. The American political scientist Virginia Eubanks has a phrase for it: “The digital poorhouse.”

DeepFake Audio Detection
With the popularity and capabilities of audio deep fakes on the rise, creating defenses against deep fakes used for malicious intent is becoming more important than ever.
We built a fake audio detection model with Foundations Atlas, for anyone to use. If you'd like to read more about why we decided to build this, click here.
Here are two examples of short audio clips in ./data/example_clips/ folder. One of them is real and the other is fake.
This repository provides the code for a fake audio detection model built using Foundations Atlas. It also includes a pre-trained model and inference code, which you can test on any of your own audio files.

Meet America’s newest military giant: Amazon
The Pentagon’s controversial $10bn JEDI cloud computing deal is one of the most lucrative defense contracts ever. Amazon’s in pole position to win—and its move into the military has been a long time coming.
In July, when President Donald Trump was in the Oval Office with the Dutch prime minister, he took a few moments to answer questions from reporters. His comments, in typical fashion, covered disparate subjects—from job creation to the “squad” of congresswomen he attacks regularly to sanctions against Turkey. Then a reporter asked him about an obscure Pentagon contract called JEDI, and whether he planned to intervene in it.
“Which one is that?” Trump asked. “The Amazon?”

Facebook should ban campaign ads. End the lies.
Permitting falsehood in political advertising would work if we had a model democracy, but we don’t. Not only are candidates dishonest, but voters aren’t educated, and the media isn’t objective. And now, hyperlinks turn lies into donations and donations into louder lies. The checks don’t balance. What we face is a self-reinforcing disinformation dystopia.
That’s why if Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and YouTube don’t want to be the arbiters of truth in campaign ads, they should stop selling them. If they can’t be distributed safely, they shouldn’t be distributed at all.
No one wants historically untrustworthy social networks becoming the honesty police, deciding what’s factual enough to fly. But the alternative of allowing deception to run rampant is unacceptable. Until voter-elected officials can implement reasonable policies to preserve truth in campaign ads, the tech giants should go a step further and refuse to run them.
This problem came to a head recently when Facebook formalized its policy of allowing politicians to lie in ads and refusing to send their claims to third-party fact-checkers. “We don’t believe, however, that it’s an appropriate role for us to referee political debates and prevent a politician’s speech from reaching its audience and being subject to public debate and scrutiny,” Facebook’s VP of Policy Nick Clegg wrote.
The Trump campaign was already running ads with false claims about Democrats trying to repeal the Second Amendment and weeks-long scams about a “midnight deadline” for a contest to win the one-millionth MAGA hat.
After the announcement, Trump’s campaign began running ads smearing potential opponent Joe Biden with widely debunked claims about his relationship with Ukraine. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter refused to remove the ad when asked by Biden.
In response to the policy, Elizabeth Warren is running ads claiming Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorses Trump because it’s allowing his campaign lies. She’s continued to press Facebook on the issue, stating “you can be in the disinformation-for-profit business, or you can hold yourself to some standards.”

“BriansClub” Hack Rescues 26M Stolen Cards
“BriansClub,” one of the largest underground stores for buying stolen credit card data, has itself been hacked. The data stolen from BriansClub encompasses more than 26 million credit and debit card records taken from hacked online and brick-and-mortar retailers over the past four years, including almost eight million records uploaded to the shop in 2019 alone.
Last month, KrebsOnSecurity was contacted by a source who shared a plain text file containing what was claimed to be the full database of cards for sale both currently and historically through BriansClub[.]at, a thriving fraud bazaar named after this author. Imitating my site, likeness and namesake, BriansClub even dubiously claims a copyright with a reference at the bottom of each page: “© 2019 Crabs on Security.”
Multiple people who reviewed the database shared by my source confirmed that the same credit card records also could be found in a more redacted form simply by searching the BriansClub Web site with a valid, properly-funded account.
All of the card data stolen from BriansClub was shared with multiple sources who work closely with financial institutions to identify and monitor or reissue cards that show up for sale in the cybercrime underground.
The leaked data shows that in 2015, BriansClub added just 1.7 million card records for sale. But business would pick up in each of the years that followed: In 2016, BriansClub uploaded 2.89 million stolen cards; 2017 saw some 4.9 million cards added; 2018 brought in 9.2 million more.
Between January and August 2019 (when this database snapshot was apparently taken), BriansClub added roughly 7.6 million cards.
Most of what’s on offer at BriansClub are “dumps,” strings of ones and zeros that — when encoded onto anything with a magnetic stripe the size of a credit card — can be used by thieves to purchase electronics, gift cards and other high-priced items at big box stores.
As shown in the table below (taken from this story), many federal hacking prosecutions involving stolen credit cards will for sentencing purposes value each stolen card record at $500, which is intended to represent the average loss per compromised cardholder.

Darknet platform for child porn: Investigators arrest 337 users
A playground for pedophiles, perverts and criminals: this is how US justice describes a platform for child pornography that has now been excavated.
South Korean National and Hundreds of Others Charged Worldwide in the Takedown of the Largest Darknet Child Pornography Website, Which was Funded by Bitcoin
Dozens of Minor Victims Who Were Being Actively Abused by the Users of the Site Rescued
Jong Woo Son, 23, a South Korean national, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for his operation of Welcome To Video, the largest child sexual exploitation market by volume of content. The nine-count indictment was unsealed today along with a parallel civil forfeiture action. Son has also been charged and convicted in South Korea and is currently in custody serving his sentence in South Korea. An additional 337 site users residing in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State and Washington, D.C. as well as the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Czech Republic, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Brazil and Australia have been arrested and charged.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu for the District of Columbia, Chief Don Fort of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and Acting Executive Associate Director Alysa Erichs of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), made the announcement.
“Darknet sites that profit from the sexual exploitation of children are among the most vile and reprehensible forms of criminal behavior,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “This Administration will not allow child predators to use lawless online spaces as a shield. Today’s announcement demonstrates that the Department of Justice remains firmly committed to working closely with our partners in South Korea and around the world to rescue child victims and bring to justice the perpetrators of these abhorrent crimes.”
“Children around the world are safer because of the actions taken by U.S. and foreign law enforcement to prosecute this case and recover funds for victims,” said U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu. “We will continue to pursue such criminals on and off the darknet in the United States and abroad, to ensure they receive the punishment their terrible crimes deserve.”

Share-Online service offline since 16 October 2019 hours
Investigations by GVU lead to concerted action against largest hosters of illegal media content in Germany - Focus on Public Prosecutor's Office and Police search residential and business premises in Germany, France and the Netherlands - GVU accompanied entire proceedings
Berlin/Cologne, 17.10.2019 It has been clear since yesterday that even filehosters are not unassailable. On Wednesday, 16 October 2019 at around 2 p.m., the Internet offering of Share-Online.biz, the largest file hosting service aimed at the German-speaking market, was shut down by cyber crimes specialists from the Cologne public prosecutor's office and the Aachen police headquarters. This unprecedented procedure was initiated by GVU, whose employees filed a criminal complaint against the operators of the service as early as 2017 and have been continuously supporting the authorities ever since. Where previously all criminal and civil law approaches of various actors seemed to run nowhere, GVU was now able to achieve a groundbreaking success for its members and the creative industries as a whole.
In Germany, residential and business premises were searched in several federal states, and further raids took place in France and a Dutch computer centre. Extensive evidence was secured. The allegation against three defendants aged 40, 48 and 54 is that they have assisted the commercial exploitation of copyrighted works in a large number of cases. At Share-Online.biz, millions of files were hosted on several hundred servers and between six and ten million visitors visited the site every month. In 2017, a single service provider commissioned by GVU sent more than eight million deletion requests to the operators of Share-online.biz as part of the GVU takedown project to have unlicensed content removed. The service appeared to be cooperative, but all content was available again shortly after the supposed deletion. The GVU was able to make the findings and data gained from the takedown project directly available to the lead public prosecutor's office in order to substantiate the accusation of aiding and abetting commercial copyright infringement. In addition, the state investigators were proactively supported by GVU staff through specific analyses and precisely documented test downloads.

Investigations by GVU lead to concerted action against largest hosters of illegal media content in Germany - Focus on Public Prosecutor's Office and Police search residential and business premises in Germany, France and the Netherlands - GVU accompanied entire proceedings
Berlin/Cologne, 17.10.2019 It has been clear since yesterday that even filehosters are not unassailable. On Wednesday, 16 October 2019 at around 2 p.m., the Internet offering of Share-Online.biz, the largest file hosting service aimed at the German-speaking market, was shut down by cyber crimes specialists from the Cologne public prosecutor's office and the Aachen police headquarters. This unprecedented procedure was initiated by GVU, whose employees filed a criminal complaint against the operators of the service as early as 2017 and have been continuously supporting the authorities ever since. Where previously all criminal and civil law approaches of various actors seemed to run nowhere, GVU was now able to achieve a groundbreaking success for its members and the creative industries as a whole.
In Germany, residential and business premises were searched in several federal states, and further raids took place in France and a Dutch computer centre. Extensive evidence was secured. The allegation against three defendants aged 40, 48 and 54 is that they have assisted the commercial exploitation of copyrighted works in a large number of cases. At Share-Online.biz, millions of files were hosted on several hundred servers and between six and ten million visitors visited the site every month. In 2017, a single service provider commissioned by GVU sent more than eight million deletion requests to the operators of Share-online.biz as part of the GVU takedown project to have unlicensed content removed.

Mind-reading technology is everyone's next big security nightmare
While the hardware can be made as secure as possible, turning our thoughts into a digital form will put them at risk just like any other data.
Technology allowing our thoughts and feelings to be translated into a digital form – and shared – is already a reality. Brain computer interfaces (BCI) allow us to connect our minds to computers for some limited purposes, and big tech companies including Facebook and many startups want to make this technology commonplace.

World stumbling zombie-like into a digital welfare dystopia, warns UN human rights expert
NEW YORK (17 October 2019) – A UN human rights expert has expressed concerns about the emergence of the "digital welfare state", saying that all too often the real motives behind such programs are to slash welfare spending, set up intrusive government surveillance systems and generate profits for private corporate interests.
"As humankind moves, perhaps inexorably, towards the digital welfare future it needs to alter course significantly and rapidly to avoid stumbling zombie-like into a digital welfare dystopia,".

The Global Expansion of AI Surveillance
A growing number of states are deploying advanced AI surveillance tools to monitor, track, and surveil citizens. Carnegie’s new index explores how different countries are going about this.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is rapidly proliferating around the world. Startling developments keep emerging, from the onset of deepfake videos that blur the line between truth and falsehood, to advanced algorithms that can beat the best players in the world in multiplayer poker. Businesses harness AI capabilities to improve analytic processing; city officials tap AI to monitor traffic congestion and oversee smart energy metering. Yet a growing number of states are deploying advanced AI surveillance tools to monitor, track, and surveil citizens to accomplish a range of policy objectives—some lawful, others that violate human rights, and many of which fall into a murky middle ground.

Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone
A flaw that means any fingerprint can unlock a Galaxy S10 phone has been acknowledged by Samsung.
It promised a software patch that would fix the problem.
The issue was spotted by a British woman whose husband was able to unlock her phone with his thumbprint when it was stored in a cheap case.
When the S10 was launched, in March, Samsung described the fingerprint authentication system as "revolutionary".
Air gap
The scanner sends ultrasounds to detect 3D ridges of fingerprints in order to recognise users.
Samsung said it was "aware of the case of S10's malfunctioning fingerprint recognition and will soon issue a software patch".
South Korea's online-only KaKao Bank told customers to switch off the fingerprint-recognition option to log in to its services until the issue was fixed.
Previous reports suggested some screen protectors were incompatible with Samsung's reader because they left a small air gap that interfered with the scanning.
Thumb print
The British couple who discovered the security issue told the Sun newspaper it was a "real concern".
After buying a £2.70 gel screen protector on eBay, Lisa Neilson registered her right thumbprint and then found her left thumbprint, which was not registered, could also unlock the phone.
She then asked her husband to try and both his thumbs also unlocked it.
And when the screen protector was added to another relative's phone, the same thing happened.
