▻https://cpj.org/blog/2018/10/how-the-saudis-may-have-spied-on-jamal-khashoggi.php

Omar Abdulaziz, a 27-year-old Saudi Arabian dissident, can still remember the time Jamal Khashoggi, the storied Saudi journalist, unfollowed him on Twitter. It was in 2015, and Khashoggi had been tapped to head a new TV network called Al-Arab, a partnership between a member of the royal family and Bloomberg. Abdulaziz started haranguing Khashoggi online, demanding that the network provide a platform for genuine critics of the Saudi regime. “He got so mad at me,” Abdulaziz recalled in a (...)

Citizen Lab dénonce des redirections invisibles des internautes en Turquie et Égypte
▻https://www.nextinpact.com/brief/citizenlab-denonce-des-redirections-invisibles-des-internautes-en-turqui

Ce sont des accusations fortes portées par le laboratoire canadien, basé à Toronto. La Turquie utiliserait des équipements DPI (deek packet inspection) de Procera Networks, impactant du même coup la Syrie. L’Égypte ferait de même, mais avec des produits Sandvine. En Turquie, Citizen Lab aurait ainsi découvert la présence d’équipements sur le réseau de Turk Telekom. Des internautes turques et syriens étaient ainsi redirigés vers des pages contenant des malwares alors qu’ils souhaitaient initialement (...)

Ethiopie : des logiciels espions pour la surveillance des dissidents

A peine avait-il lu le courriel que l’activiste éthiopien Henok Gabisa comprit que quelque chose n’allait pas. Le message contenait un logiciel espion destiné à infecter son ordinateur et paralyser son activité d’opposant au gouvernement d’Addis Abeba. La ligne d’en-tête était intitulée « Démocratie en Ethiopie : peut-elle être sauvée ? » Un message apparemment sur mesure pour lui. Mais cet enseignant en droit à l’université américaine de Washington et Lee remarqua aussi que le texte était écrit en des (...)
