Listening to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) annual report presentation, and the Microsoft guy, I could help but thinking that BING assists with the proliferation of pornography on the internet. It's important to note that while security services in western countries have the technology to take down or track back the TOR network and most sites, without addressing the issue of pornography access on the internet, society cannot make meaningful progress towards a safer online experience for all. Solutions that protect individuals and communities from harm, is to focus on the regulation of online pornography. #onlinesafety #internetwatchfoundation #microsoft

At the crossroads of entrapment and surveillance in the digital age are prosecutions under “Operation Trojan.” Operation Trojan used a government created messaging app known as “Anom” to lure “criminals” into using the app for their illicit communications. While Anom promised the highest level of security for communications – it delivered the messages directly to the federal government instead.   Should these prosecutions be permitted? Rachel Fiset and Jeremy Masys are featured in the Daily Journal to discuss this topic! #zfzlaw #NAMWOLF #SERMA #DailyJournal

I learned about IMSI-Catchers at the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) #Disrupt24 conference this spring. It's a rogue-access-point attack where inside the device's radius, cell phones are susceptible to connecting to the IMSI-Catcher instead of the legitimate mobile network. Attackers then use that temporary connection to deploy SMS campaigns to all the phones in the area. The article has examples from multiple countries where the campaigns were targeting victims for financial, health or other personal information #SMSPhishing #SignalHIjacking

Years ago, when I was an information security analyst, I was asked what I thought about outlook. I rather flippantly replied that it was a rather efficient virus propagation tool that just happened to also send emails. Sadly, that comment was obliquely prescient. A device purporting to be a phone or a desktop is actually a surveillance device. If all of that surveillance was only being used to sell you stuff, it would be bad, but such deep surveillance can be used to subtly influence you politically, socially, or economically. For the most part, I shun google, apple and microsoft software. I use linux, lineagOS and open source applications and VPNs where ever and whenever possible. Despite this, I'm sure I'm leaking private information all the time. Sometimes, you can't avoid using tools that have latent spyware. If you have the skills, it is time to do the right thing and protect your privacy.
