« La lutte contre la surveillance est un anticapitalisme » par Romain Haillard | Politis

La lutte contre les technologies de surveillance est indissociable de celle contre le capitalisme, estime Christophe Masutti, membre de l’association d’éducation populaire Framasoft. Drôle d’époque. Des drones survolent nos têtes pour nous intimer de rester chez nous ; nos téléphones caftent nos déplacements aux opérateurs télécoms, qui eux-mêmes caftent aux décideurs ; des multitudes d’acteurs économiques trouvent des « solutions » technologiques aux problématiques liées au coronavirus ; les géants du (...)

The indictment suggests that the breach was part of a series of thefts by China to use the data to target American officials. WASHINGTON — Four members of China’s military were charged on Monday with hacking into Equifax, one of the nation’s largest credit reporting agencies, and stealing trade secrets and the personal data of about 145 million Americans in 2017. The charges underscored China’s quest to obtain Americans’ data and its willingness to flout a 2015 agreement with the United States (...)

The attack, according to the charges, was part of a coordinated effort by Chinese intelligence to steal trade secrets and personal information to target Americans. Using the personal data of (...)

Secret F.B.I. Subpoenas Scoop Up Personal Data From Scores of Companies

The F.B.I. has used secret subpoenas to obtain personal data from far more companies than previously disclosed, newly released documents show. The requests, which the F.B.I. says are critical to its counterterrorism efforts, have raised privacy concerns for years but have been associated mainly with tech companies. Now, records show how far beyond Silicon Valley the practice extends — encompassing scores of banks, credit agencies, cellphone carriers and even universities. The demands can (...)

The 5 Dumbest Data Breaches in History and What You Should Learn from ThemOur idealistic kindergarten teachers duped us into believing that we’re defined by our character. But we’re now old enough to know that our personally identifiable information (PII) is what really defines us. That’s right; no matter how special we think we are, we’re still just atoms and PII.Somehow, over the course of billions of years of evolution, the purpose of IT managers and business owners has turned out to be guarding other people’s PII. This destiny is boring. But the second we let our guard down in a stupor of apathy, we wake up to data breaches, public-relations disasters and frantic job searches in hopes of quitting before getting fired.If that all sounds horrible, it is. But don’t worry. Plenty of other (...)

BILL BLACK: First, this is the third major breach in about two years, so they had plenty of warning that their #security, #cybersecurity, was incompetent, and they obviously didn’t fix it. Second, they now say that the breach began in May and that they didn’t detect it ’til July, while they were, as you said, stealing at least 142 million people’s worth of data, probably multiple times. Along the way, by the way, they said proudly, “Ah, but there was no breach of our core system.” Before you ever get to the core, 142 million customers are thrown under the bus. God only knows what the core is. Presumably their own personal data is what they consider the core.

Once they did discover, finally, the breach, the very first thing that happened, you mentioned part of it, which is three senior executives sold roughly $2 million-ish in shares, including the chief financial officer, who they’re now claiming wasn’t told of the breach. Now, this would be the number-two person, typically, or number-three person in the entire corporation. If they didn’t tell the senior ranks about the breach, when they discovered one of the largest and most destructive breaches in history, you know, well, you can choose to believe that. No one else does.

On top of that, there was also an immediate ... in the same time period that these senior executives were selling their stock, there was a massive increase in sales of stock options compared to the normal for Equifax, and that almost certainly was again because people had been tipped about what had happened in the breach.

Crédits : les données personnelles de 143 millions d’Américains piratées
▻http://www.latribune.fr/economie/international/credits-les-donnees-personnelles-de-143-millions-d-americains-piratees-749

Une grosse société de crédit américaine a annoncé jeudi avoir subi un gigantesque piratage informatique de sa base de données, qui pourrait concerner potentiellement environ 143 millions de clients américains, soit près de la moitié de la population du pays. #Equifax a détecté le problème le 29 juillet et a « immédiatement agi » en demandant une enquête à une société de sécurité informatique pour évaluer les dommages, a indiqué l’entreprise dans un communiqué.

Ironie du sort, Equifax est spécialisée dans la protection et l’analyse de données personnelles et financières de clients qui sollicitent un crédit auprès d’une banque ou d’un organisme de crédit, dans le monde entier. Equifax promet sur son site internet de prémunir ses clients contre « le vol d’identité ».

« Les criminels ont exploité une faille informatique d’un site internet américain pour accéder à certains dossiers » entre « mi-mai et juillet », précise Equifax. Selon l’entreprise, les pirates ont obtenu les noms, numéros de sécurité sociale, dates de naissance, adresses et, dans certains cas, les numéros de permis de conduire. Autant d’informations pouvant servir à des usurpations d’identité.

Equifax, qui dit collaborer avec les autorités, révèle aussi que les numéros de cartes de crédit de 209.000 clients américains ont été piratés ainsi que les documents sensibles relatifs aux crédits de 182.000 personnes. L’entreprise ajoute que des clients, dans une moindre mesure, sont concernés au Canada et au Royaume-Uni. Selon elle, l’attaque n’aurait pas touché d’autre pays.
