You're in favor of not remembering passwords. So, like me, you've started using something like LastPass so you can have unique passwords and not have to remember them all. Then you get an oopsie-daisy email about your password MANAGER getting hacked. Well dang. The upshot here is that, this can happen, but it is better to know you've been hacked. Vigilance is the only real solution here. It is somehow oddly comforting to hear the tech reporter here laughing at the notion of making it so that your password CANNOT get hacked. #LetsBeCarefulOutThere #flcc270

IntelBroker, a known cybercriminal, claims to have obtained the internal source code for three Apple tools following a June 2024 breach of Apple.com. The tools, AppleConnect-SSO, Apple-HWE-Confluence-Advanced, and AppleMacroPlugin, are reportedly used for authentication, collaboration, and automation. The claims were posted on BreachForums and discovered by Dark Web Informer, though their validity has not been confirmed. Apple has been contacted for comment. Additionally, IntelBroker claims to have breached AMD in June 2024, compromising future product data, spec sheets, and employee information. AMD is investigating these claims with law enforcement. IntelBroker has a history of high-profile breaches, including Europol, DC Health Link, and several major companies.

What data can you collect from a modern smartphone? It's not quite the treasure trove of data it used to be. If you are involved in litigation, this article will help you understand what can (and cannot) be extracted from a smartphone during a digital forensic collection.

Google’s Gemini Nano is building a solution to detect scam calls. How it will help/affect you? ‼️Your phone will be able to alert you in real time during a call if it detects conversation patterns associated with scams. ‼️Your conversation will remain private as this protection happens on-device. ‼️All calls will be heard and analysed and alerts will be generated in case the conversation matches a per-set pattern. ‼️Gemini Nano on phones will have a huge impact on your privacy as there will be no explicit consent for analysing or hearing the calls. Will cover the compliance aspects around it in the next post.

An interesting look on Apples decision to stop scanning user's content on iCloud: “Scanning every user’s privately stored iCloud data would create new threat vectors for data thieves to find and exploit," Neuenschwander wrote. "It would also inject the potential for a slippery slope of unintended consequences. Scanning for one type of content, for instance, opens the door for bulk surveillance and could create a desire to search other encrypted messaging systems across content types.” https://lnkd.in/eEfXTjwh Sounds like someone did a thorough threat model here and decided it would be better to approach this problem in another way. Still, it will be interesting to see what happens when Apple's approach starts to conflict with national jurisdiction.

Cybersecurity on mobile devices in problematic/highsecure environments. Just a reminder to be aware that your personal device could be part of a big research for AI training (eg. if your data is allowed to send to vendors like google, meta, apple, microsoft), but could be also enhanced by additional spyware by governments/competitors. Known products (current names) to spy on people using ZeroDays and product vulnerabilities: Even without clicking or human interaction the spyware could be installed. Most claim to sell it only to governments, but..... - NSOGroup (Pegasus) - Cellebrite - Cytrox(Predator) - Candiru - Quadream (Reign) - insanet (Sherlock) Typical indications: Battery runs out faster, Device heats up even when in standby, Strange behaviour or unusual malfunction e.g. delays in apps and don't forget any GPStracker could be installed anywhere as they are small. Same is with cameras in buildings/rooms to compromise (Cameradetectors with Laser/Infrared helps) forensic possibilities: Mobile Verification Toolkit: https://lnkd.in/dEEdznje iVerify (AppStore): https://lnkd.in/dphK97NE Airguard (Appstore, AntiGPStracker) or experts..... know more tools (spyware or forensic)? please add in the comments. I will consolidate for future topics. (written without AI)

Well, that certainly escalated quickly! Little known startup Beeper just wanted to let #Android users enjoy those snazzy blue text bubbles that #Apple users take for granted. But after its iMessage workaround app got mysteriously blocked, now senators are urging antitrust probes into Apple! Beeper's crime? Finding a loophole to essentially "hack" Messages exclusivity without compromising encryption - if you ask Eugene Teplitsky and team, they've actually made the iMessage ecosystem MORE secure. Instead of praise, cue Apple squashing it like a bug citing "security concerns." But Beeper swears its technique was secure and is demanding Apple back up claims or unblock access. The plot thickens as Beeper experiences mysterious outages and senators pressure the DOJ to investigate if Apple is playing dirty to maintain its walled garden. Messages #privacy requires tight control, they say, but the counterpoint to that is that 50% US market share comes with obligations around interoperability. I mean, hive minds think different on this for sure! Is Apple right to fiercely protect their users' #communications by any means necessary? Or is Beeper exposing anticompetitive strong-arm tactics? This battle royal is poised to spark even wider debates, so I'd love to know your hot take on #innovation vs. #regulation, fam.
