#Salt_Typhoon:
#How #FBI #NSA create problems they claim to be fighting:

1) Backdoor 4 #Wray (#FBI) :

When CALEA was adopted in 1994, it required, #telecom providers to design their systems to comply with #wiretapping requests from #law #enforcement. In 2006, the FCC expanded this mandate to cover #broadband #internet #providers.

2) #cheaper:

The law also required all of these covered providers to #secure their networks — but that point hasn't been enforced.

Gizmodo: Someone Likely Used a Sophisticated Phone-Spying Device at the 2024 DNC. “The Electronic Frontier Foundation has come to the conclusion that someone likely deployed a mobile phone surveillance system during the Democratic National Convention last summer, according to a new report from Wired. Evidence for that assertion comes from Cooper Quintin, a senior technologist at EFF, who has […]

Phewww, multiple fails!
Real #Cybersecurity to establish.
Need to understand, that #surveillance and #wiretapping is a heavy risk.
But #unpached systems connected to the Internet... ooof. 🔥🔥🔥

Oopsy... #federal #backdoors in #telephone #networks #backfired. #China is #wiretapping every text and phone call!

US $Senators agree that it's time to use #Matrix, with its "secure and decentralized federated networks" and its deep connections to foreign allies who also are guilty of spying on all #American telephone networks.

@mattblaze Remember:

The only winning move is to commit "#AssetDenial" and commit to untappable communications with proper #E2EE via @torproject / #Tor.

  • @micahflee made #OnionShare which is basically the most idiot-proof way to communicate over Tor to this day!

@HackyScientress @zl2tod @fj

Remember:

And yes, AFAICT this applies to all #Telcos which have to provide "#LawfulInterception" #Backdoors if not put #Govware in their core systems.

  • And yes, speaking as an insider, this can happen in.any juristiction where said #API|s and systems are mandatory.

So like all #EU / #EFTA & #G20 members!

  • I've yet to hear of any nation that doesn't demand such tech to be installed capable of both targeted and/or #BulkSurveillance.

-Just because laws demand a #judge to sign a #warrant doesn't mean said judge is actually in control or able to prevent someone from using it without permission!

@munin @wuest OFC #Cyberfacists will demand #cyberfacism.

Sadly this shite is mandatory in every juristiction I know of...

@KellicTiger @arstechnica That's why it's important to fight #Cyberfacism and make such bs #CareerSuicide for #Politicans!

When #facists attack #HumanRights it's not correct to #argue, but to arm and proactively prevent their bs from working!

And folks, if you think this is high tech, remember that was 2015. Anybody seen the movie "Blue Thunder"? In german it was called "Das fliegende Auge". They predicted it. The USA made it real. Home of the free, dudes. :-)

@neil OFC not.

  • Like with any abuse of #Wiretapping and #Surveillance provisions, I've yet to see a single case where blatantly illegal actions have any consequences whatsoever.

Cuz it's not as if a judge has cobtrol over said boxes amd that neither the one being wiretapped nor the telco have any option to fight or prevent unlawful surveillance.
