#cybersecurity experts please comment is this just an urban legend or is it true. Web search is a spaghetti monster of differing opinion, mostly non-expert spec.
The claim is roughly to the effect that Internet meme that claims that Appleโs new AI features in iOS 18โand possibly earlier versions updated to 18.1โcan scan or access Signal messages and read your content unless you disable the AI. Kind of reminds me of all the virus alerts that used to flood the net as a sort of self-replicating spam.
Even the National Lawyers Guild folks have weighed in with inconclusive and conflicting information. I am deep in the space of activists concerned with the matter but none of us have the #infosec expertise to really know what to believe here

"Secure WiFi sensing" is doublespeak for "transparent surveillance"โyour router already knows when you masturbate, how well you sleep, and if your heart skips when your ex texts. The walls have pulses now, and they're all irregular.

AI-fueled cybercrime may outpace traditional defenses, Check Point warns...
"The security firm said in a new report that defenders should begin using AI to counter cybercriminalsโ adoption of the technology."
"... artificial intelligence continues to broaden the attack surface and simplify cybercrime for less experienced hackers, according to a report by Cybersecurity Dive.

@theghostoftomjoad Also note that crowd was easily big enough though probably not aggressive enough to forcibly stop this arrest and drive back the cops.
Back on July 24 2024, I was in that furious battle at Union Station when cops again from the US Park Police initially attempted to start arresting people out of the crowd. Fearing mass arrests, the crowd counterattacked and chased the cops out of Union Station and across the street towards the Capitol.
We then returned to the plaza where some of our folks pulled down the US flags out front (some of which were burned) and ran Palestinian flags up the same poles. Events also featured Netanyahu (speaking to Congress that day) being burned in effigy.
The cops only managed to take a very few hostages in the initial attack, and to pick off a few more later. They admitted over their radios we had them outmatched-and had had them outmatched all day. Fact is, the US Park Police are known for mindless brutality but are not really a competant fighting force. I've seen them get their ass kicked and the above was one of the times.
I once had a cop attempt to force me to delete photos of himself from my camera. Refusing to comply I stirred up the crowds against him and he and his buddies threw in the towel. That was against MPD in DC.
@LukefromDC@kolektiva.social Yes I carry a police monitor and definitely see the advantage of live streaming to a PRIVATE , ENCRYPTED cloud in case the cops or counterprotesters (or friendly fire which can also happen) damage the data card or camera. I try to avoid using a phone I prefer audio recorders and cameras with physical buttons and easily removed data cards.
@volts.wtf@bsky.brid.gy
Reminders of the coming tariffs prompted me to get my order in for rechargable batteries and charger. To go with my stock of walkie talkies flash drives phones and laptops. The left needs a #prepper mindset and #basedleftists have that going on.
Did you catch the error in this protester's arrest technique?
#nationallawyersguild and #aclu trainings emphasize that during the #arrest at this #protest the arrestee should have shouted out his name so that #legalsupport could determine his status and help obtain his release.

More on these topics in my series of three pocket guides "Cybersecurity for Activists" an encyclopedic dictionary for protesters and resistance folks.
#teslatakedown #handsoff #50501protests #50501movement #50501protest blurring faces would be nice in some cases though it is probably not needed in this particular case .
@ami@mastodon.world Let's remember it is not just Netanyahu who is responsible for the carnage and genocide in #Gaza its the whole lot of "world leaders" and "community leaders" who pretend none of this started in 1948.
@adapalmer@wandering.shop I hope for the sake of the rhinocerous dangling upside down beneath a helicopter that the critter was sedated...
@MissGayle@urbanists.social I did not see the MAGA pledge but Public Square is definitely run by fascists > https://www.publicsquare.com/in-the-news
@benh@mastodon.scot Oh thanks for the reminder. Ingram Spark is a royal pain. I don't choose "wide distro" on Amazon tho maybe I should. OTOH I should really set up one of those little baby e-commerce sites. Another factor though is that purchases and reviews on Amazon tweak the algorithm and help get the POV out to more people.
But yes you are quite right I should prioritize setting up alternate channels! At the moment though I am in rush mode to polish up Book Two and Three because many folks won't realize that even one of the little pocket guides will contain most of the salient points for activists.

Dozens of cyber industry luminaries, many from the election security community, said the investigation could discourage important cyber work."

Would you be able to detect Pegasus spyware on your phone? How can you tell whether or not the government has set up a Stingray, spoofing your ISP and intercepting your messages?
If you are into #infosec and have criticisms please hit me up my expertise is really on the #activism end of this, hence I wrote #cybersecurityforactivists
This is Book One of three (A-G, G-R,R-Z) and if you contribute feedback I am happy to put you in the Acknowledgements when I combine the three booklets into one big field manual.
