Russia’s Internet, already dim, gets darker

Censorship and new laws block online information and stifle digital life The Russian internet is becoming less free, more isolated from the rest of the world, and on a path resembling countries with strictly controlled online spaces like in Iran. A recent report by a leading digital rights group in Russia paints a bleak picture of state censorship of the country’s internet. The research, published by Roskomsvoboda, a Moscow-based group that advocates for internet freedom and the protection (...)

Huge rise in hacking attacks on home workers during lockdown

Cybercriminals are exploiting fears and chaos caused by coronavirus, says security firm Hackers have launched a wave of cyber-attacks trying to exploit British people working from home, as the coronavirus lockdown forces people to use often unfamiliar computer systems. The proportion of attacks targeting home workers increased from 12% of malicious email traffic before the UK’s lockdown began in March to more than 60% six weeks later, according to to data from cybersecurity company (...)

Une app israélienne transformée en mouchard servait à observer la croissance du service de messagerie. Quand Facebook a déboursé 19 milliards de dollars (17,5 milliards d’euros) pour acheter WhatsApp en février 2014, beaucoup se sont demandés si Mark Zuckerberg n’avait pas perdu tout sens des réalités. Pourtant, six ans plus tard, le service de messagerie s’est imposé comme l’un des piliers du géant du web social. Il faut dire que, grâce à Onavo racheté quelques mois plus tôt pour environ 120 millions (...)

How we survive the surveillance apocalypse

Online privacy is not dead, but you have to be angry enough to demand it. Go, go gadgets has long been the attitude in my house. Perhaps yours, too : A smartphone made it easier to stay in touch. A smart TV streamed a zillion more shows. A smart speaker let you talk to a smart thermostat without getting out of bed. That’s progress, right ? Now I’ve got a new attitude : It’s not just what I can get out of technology — I want to know what the technology gets out of me. For the past year, I’ve (...)

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers this week worked overtime to vilify encryption, oblivious to the fact that weakening encryption standards will put the public, and the internet, at risk. Even the Defense Department is now pointing out that the government’s quest to weaken encryption lies somewhere between counterproductive and downright harmful. Attorney General Bill Barr and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham have been on a tear lately in a bid to undermine encryption (...)

Les dernières nouvelles du #Great_Firewall_of_China et des #VPN :

▻https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/china-vpn

Un article assez léger (bien qu’il prétende au début qu’il va y avoir de la technique ; en fait, il reste à la surface dans ses explications) mais décrivant une expérience intéressante. L’auteur a loué un VPS Windows en Chine et l’a utilisé pour tester des dizaines de fournisseurs de VPN. Conclusion : la plupart sont bloqués, parce qu’ils utilisent des adresses IP fixes, ou bien parce que le protocole utilisé laisse fuiter trop de métadonnées.

À l’avenir, il faudra se dissimuler beaucoup plus, avec du TLS dans SSH dans IPsec et en faisant très attention aux fuites de métadonnées.

Censorship is closely related to politics. The annual global ranking of Internet freedom clearly illustrates this dependence. States that violate human rights also block undesirable websites or block access to the global network.Only 13 of the 65 countries analyzed by the Freedom House researchers do not interfere with the information freedom of their citizens. Most of the rest of the world’s Internet users can access blocked websites only via #vpn services. Residents of China have hard times with this as the hunt for unlicensed VPNs has recently increased there.Chronology of restrictionsBack in 2008, YouTube was blocked in China.

Fritz !Box mit einem VPN-Service verbinden ? Warum das nicht geht.

AVM unterstützt bei den Fritz!box Geräten eine “VPN Verbindung zu einem Firmennetzwerk“, was damit gemeint ist, dass sich die Fritz!box zu Hause über eine VPN-Verbindung zu einer anderen Fritz!box in einem kleinen Firmennetzwerk verbinden kann.

Dabei wird das von der Fritz!box verwendete VPN-Protokoll “IPsec x-auth” verwendet. Praktisch gesehen nutzt dieses Protokoll aber kein professioneller VPN-Anbieter. Darum ist es auch nicht möglich die Fritz!box direkt mit einem VPN-Service zu verbinden.

It looks like Facebook was not the only one abusing Apple’s system for distributing employee-only apps to sidestep the App Store and collect extensive data on users. Google has been running an app called Screenwise Meter, which bears a strong resemblance to the app distributed by Facebook Research that has now been barred by Apple, TechCrunch has learned. In its app, Google invites users aged 18 and up (or 13 if part of a family group) to download the app by way of a special code and (...)

Desperate for data on its competitors, Facebook has been secretly paying people to install a “Facebook Research” VPN that lets the company suck in all of a user’s phone and web activity, similar to Facebook’s Onavo Protect app that Apple banned in June and that was removed in August. Facebook sidesteps the App Store and rewards teenagers and adults to download the Research app and give it root access to network traffic in what may be a violation of Apple policy so the social network can decrypt and analyze their phone activity, a TechCrunch investigation confirms.

Two Chinese internet users are currently facing punishment for doing what an estimated 1-3% of people living in mainland China do every day: access the global internet.

Among other methods, many internet users in China depend on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to skirt or circumvent China’s “Great Firewall”, the robust filtering system that blocks sensitive information and overseas websites from China’s domestic network.

While #VPN use is permitted in certain contexts — mainly for government agencies and large private companies — China’s vigorous internet control regime has in recent years put significant resources towards preventing internet users from using these and other similar tools.

Who’s Really Behind the World’s Most Popular Free VPNs?

After big names like Whatsapp, Snapchat, and Facebook, VPNs are the most searched-for applications in the world. “VPN” is the second-highest non-branded search term behind “games”, and free apps completely dominate the search results. The most popular applications have amassed hundreds of millions of installs between them worldwide, yet there seems to be very little attention paid to the companies behind them, and very little scrutiny done on behalf of the marketplaces hosting them.When someone opts to install a #vpn on their device, they are essentially choosing to trust their data with that company instead of their ISP or wireless carrier. The VPN provider can inspect your traffic, modify it, log it, and if their policy permits, send or sell it elsewhere. Given the potential for this data (...)
