Even Angry Birds Is Spying On You

Your phone, your e-mail, your Skype calls... just about everything you use is leaking information these days. Including Angry Birds, according to a new report by ProPublica andThe New York Times.

This info comes from a close look at the much-discussed Edward Snowden documents, which reportedly reveal that spy agencies are snagging all sorts of data from the apps on our phones: "address books, buddy lists, phone logs and the geographic data embedded in photos when someone sends a post to the mobile versions of Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Twitter and other services," according to the report.

Although the Snowden documents don't say whether spy agencies have pilfered data from games like Angry Birds, they do make it clear that our apps are capable of storing and sharing personal information, including age, sex, and even marital status.

For their part, the N.S.A. is denying wrongdoing: "N.S.A. does not profile everyday Americans as it carries out its foreign intelligence mission," they told ProPublica. "Because some data of U.S. persons may at times be incidentally collected in N.S.A.'s lawful foreign intelligence mission, privacy protections for U.S. persons exist across the entire process."

For a thorough look and breakdown on all this stuff, check out the full report. Or just destroy every electronic device you own and move into the forest.

The NSA’s Secret Role in the U.S. Assassination Program



A nova página na Internet de Glenn Greenwald, jornalista que publicou as revelações de Edward Snowden, e Pierre Omidyar, fundador do eBay, foi colocada hoje ‘online’ com um artigo sobre o papel da NSA nos ataques com ‘drones’.

Com o nome “The Intercept” e o endereço https://firstlook.org/theintercept/, o ‘site’ é o resultado da associação entre o milionário americano de ascendência iraniana e do ex-jornalista de investigação do britânico The Guardian, que divulgou a maioria das informações sobre o sistema de espionagem da Agência de Segurança Nacional (NSA) dos Estados Unidos.

NSA snooping: MEPs table proposals to protect EU citizens' privacy

http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=16357&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HelpNetSecurity+%28Help+Net+Security%29

The text, passed by 33 votes to 7 with 17 abstentions, condemns the “vast, systemic, blanket collection of personal data of innocent people, often comprising intimate personal information”, adding that “the fight against terrorism can never be a justification for untargeted, secret or even illegal mass surveillance programmes”.

Snowden: NSA Workers Routinely Share Your Nude Photos

 

The Guardian posted a 14-minute video preview of an upcoming interview with Edward Snowden today, and among talk of the Russians (not working for them), Gitmo (could "live with" going), and 1984 (hasn't read it in a while) was this unsettling bit about NSA workers and nude photos.

 

You've got young enlisted guys, 18 to 22. They've suddenly thrust into a position of extraordinary responsibility, where they now have access to all of your private records. Now, in the course of their daily work, they stumble across something that is completely unrelated to their work in any sort of necessary sense. For example: an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation, but they're extremely attractive. So what do they do? They turn around in their chair, and they show their coworker. And their coworker says, "Oh, hey, that's great. Send that to Bill down the way. And then Bill sends it to George, George sends it to Tom, and sooner or later, this person's whole life has been seen by all of these other people. It's never reported. Nobody ever knows about it, because the auditing of these systems is incredibly weak.

 

 

When Guardian editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger asks Snowden to clarify how often he saw this sort of thing happen, he answered: "It's routine enough. Depending on sort of the company you keep, it could be more or less frequent. But these are seen as sort of the fringe benefits of surveillance positions."

 

There you have it: all your worst fears about government surveillance appear to be true! Never sext again.

New tool for spy victims to detect government surveillance
Detekt is the first tool to be made available to the public that detects major known surveillance spyware, some of which is used

A new tool to enable journalists and human rights defenders to scan their computers for known surveillance spyware has been released today by Amnesty International and a coalition of human rights and technology organizations.

Detekt is the first tool to be made available to the public that detects major known surveillance spyware, some of which is used by governments, in computers.

“Governments are increasingly using dangerous and sophisticated technology that allows them to read activists and journalists’ private emails and remotely turn on their computer’s camera or microphone to secretly record their activities. They use the technology in a cowardly attempt to prevent abuses from being exposed,” said Marek Marczynski, Head of Military, Security and Police at Amnesty International.

“Detekt is a simple tool that will alert activists to such intrusions so they can take action. It represents a strike back against governments who are using information obtained through surveillance to arbitrarily detain, illegally arrest and even torture human rights defenders and journalists.”

Developed by security researcher Claudio Guarnieri, Detekt is being launched in partnership with Amnesty International, Digitale Gesellschaft, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Privacy International.

The adoption and trade in communication surveillance technologies has grown exponentially in recent years.

The Coalition Against Unlawful Surveillance Exports, of which Amnesty International is a member, estimates the annual global trade in surveillance technologies to be worth US$5 billion, and growing.

Some surveillance technology is widely available on the internet; while other more sophisticated alternatives are developed by private companies based in developed countries and sold to state law enforcement and intelligence agencies in countries that persistently commit human rights violations.

FinFisher, a German firm that used to be part of UK-based Gamma International, developed the spyware FinSpy which can be used to monitor Skype conversations, extract files from hard drives, record microphone use and emails, and even take screenshots and photos using a device’s camera.

According to research carried out by Citizen Lab and information published by Wikileaks, Finfisher was used to spy on prominent human rights lawyers and activists in Bahrain.

Amnesty International is urging governments to establish strict trade controls requiring national authorities to assess the risk that the surveillance equipment would be used to violate human rights before authorizing the transfer.

“Detekt is a great tool which can help activists stay safe but ultimately, the only way to prevent these technologies from being used to violate or abuse human rights is to establish and enforce strict controls on their use and trade," said Marek Marczynski.

Amnesty International will use its networks to help activists across the world learn about Detekt and scan their devices for signs of spyware. It will also engage in testing with its local partners and networks who are considered at high-risk of being targeted by such spyware.

Edward Snowden diz que iPhone tem spyware Apple secreto
 
A segurança tem sido um tema recorrente nas notícias de tecnologia e são vários os escândalos, mais ou menos declarados, que envolvem as grandes marcas deste mercado.
Um das marcas no alvo das criticas é Apple, que ao longo destes 7 anos e meio, tem vindo a ser acusada por várias vezes de estar a espiar os seus utilizadores através de um software secreto escondido no seu sistema operativo iOS.
 
Agora, o advogado de Edward Snowden vem afirmar que o seu cliente não usa iPhone porque este tem spyware secreto Apple.
 
O caso saiu a público depois do advogado de Snowden, Anatoly Kucherena, ter dado uma entrevista à agência de notícias russa RIA Novosti.
Nesta entrevista foram abordados diversos temas sensíveis relacionados com Snowden e com todos os documentos publicados pelo mesmo, onde um dos temas abordados foi também o iPhone e o porquê do seu cliente não utilizar o dispositivo da Apple.
 
O ex-funcionário da NSA que tornou público detalhes de vários programas que constituem o sistema de vigilância da Agência de Segurança Nacional Americana, revelou também que os dispositivos comercializados pela Apple, os bem conhecidos iPhones, são capazes de espiar os seus utilizadores sem que os mesmos tenham conhecimento. Sendo as informações pessoais recolhidas através de um software secreto instalado por trás do sistema operativo iOS.
 
Edward nunca usa um iPhone, ele tem um telefone simples. O iPhone tem um software especial que pode activar-se sem o proprietário ter que pressionar um botão, passando o dispositivo a reunir informações sobre ele. É por isso, por razões de segurança, ele se recusou a utilizar este telefone.” Anatoly Kucherena, em entrevista à agência de notícias russa RIA Novosti
 
Snowden poderá ter feito estas acusações munido de informação existente nos documentos a que teve acesso de forma privilegiada, dada a sua actividade na NSA. Um desses documentos revela por exemplo, que a agência britânica GCHQ utiliza o sistema Apple iPhone UDID para localizar os seus utilizadores.
 
Contudo, nos documentos publicados por Snowden anteriormente, não existe nenhuma referência implícita a qualquer tipo de software secreto presente nos dispositivos da Apple, pelo que será interessante ver se Snowden ou até mesmo o seu advogado irão fazer qualquer comentário a estas alegações nos próximos dias.
