Maximator: European signals intelligence cooperation, from a Dutch perspective
This article is first to report on the secret European five-partner sigint alliance Maximator that started in the late 1970s. It discloses the name Maximator and provides documentary evidence. The five members of this European alliance are Denmark Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and France. The cooperation involves both signals analysis and crypto analysis. The Maximator alliance has remained secret for almost fifty years, in contrast to its Anglo-Saxon Five-Eyes counterpart. The existence of this European sigint alliance gives a novel perspective on western sigint collaborations in the late twentieth century.
The article explains and illustrates, with relatively much attention for the cryptographic details, how the five Maximator participants strengthened their effectiveness via the information about rigged cryptographic devices that its German partner provided, via the joint U.S.-German ownership and control of the Swiss producer Crypto AG of cryptographic devices.
1. Introduction
The post-Second World War signals intelligence (SIGINT) cooperation between five Anglo-Saxon countries – Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and the United States – is well-documented.1 This alliance is often called Five Eyes and is based on the 1946 UKUSA Agreement. What is not publicly known so far is that there is a second, parallel, western signals intelligence alliance, namely in north-western Europe, also with five members. It has existed since 1976 and is called Maximator. It comprises Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands and is still active today.
The Maximator alliance deepens our understanding of the recently-revealed operation Thesaurus/Rubicon: the joint CIA-BND ownership and control of the Swiss manufacturer of cryptographic equipment Crypto AG, from 1970 to 1993.2 Crucial information about the inner workings (and weaknesses) of cryptographic devices sold by Crypto AG (and by other companies) were distributed within the Maximator network. This allowed the participants to decrypt intercepted messages from the more than one hundred countries that had bought compromised devices from the 1970s onwards.

ISP Ordered to Hand Over Pirates’ Details After Cracked Software ‘Phoned Home’
Alleged pirates who installed cracked copies of expensive Siemens CAD tools on their computers are facing potentially huge settlement demands after the software "phoned home" informing the company of the illicit use. The Australian Federal Court has ordered ISP Telstra to hand over the personal details of the suspected infringers.
Reports of movie companies tracking down alleged pirates in order to extract cash settlements are commonplace today.
After IP addresses are monitored in BitTorrent swarms, companies regularly obtain court orders requiring ISPs to hand over the personal details of alleged infringers, to whom they send correspondence threatening a lawsuit, unless they pay up of course.
On first view, a case in Australia seems to follow a similar pattern but the details reveal a more interesting set of circumstances.
In an application filed at the Federal Court in Australia, Siemens Industry Software Inc asked the Court to compel local ISP Telstra to reveal the identities and personal details of “20 potential infringing users” who used “cracked” versions of its software.
However, instead of tracking these alleged pirates in BitTorrent swarms, Siemens obtained evidence of their infringement directly from their computers.

A hacker gang is wiping Lenovo NAS devices and asking for ransoms
Ransom notes signed by 'Cl0ud SecuritY' hacker group are being found on old Lenovo EMC NAS devices.
A hacker group going by the name of 'Cl0ud SecuritY' is breaking into old LenovoEMC (formerly Iomega) network-attached storage (NAS) devices, wiping files, and leaving ransom notes behind asking owners to pay between $200 and $275 to get their data back.
Attacks have been happening for at least a month, according to entries on BitcoinAbuse, a web portal where users can report Bitcoin addresses abused in ransomware, extortions, cybercrime, and other online scams.
Attacks appear to have targeted only LenovoEMC/Iomega NAS devices that are exposing their management interface on the internet without a password.
Many of the NAS devices we found this way contained a ransom note named "RECOVER YOUR FILES !!!!.txt."
All ransom notes were signed with the 'Cl0ud SecuritY' monicker and used the same "cloud@mail2pay.com" email address as the point of contact.

Farewell news from Hong Kong - The new Hong Kong Security Law
Beijing's national security law is already having an impact, pushing activists to take self-protection measures such as resignations, dissolutions of organizations and deletion of social media accounts. The law package could finally destroy the city's democratic hopes.
The new security law (👇🏼PDF) has 66 articles and provides for sentences ranging from ten years to life imprisonment for the new offences of secession, subversion, terrorism and participation in outside interference.

COVID-19 ‘Breach Bubble’ Waiting to Pop?
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for banks to trace the source of payment card data stolen from smaller, hacked online merchants. On the plus side, months of quarantine have massively decreased demand for account information that thieves buy and use to create physical counterfeit credit cards. But fraud experts say recent developments suggest both trends are about to change — and likely for the worse.
The economic laws of supply and demand hold just as true in the business world as they do in the cybercrime space. Global lockdowns from COVID-19 have resulted in far fewer fraudsters willing or able to visit retail stores to use their counterfeit cards, and the decreased demand has severely depressed prices in the underground for purloined card data.

Espionage software: China is said to have surveilled mobile phones of Uighurs for years
IT security researchers have found numerous apps that spy on China's Uighur Muslim minority - even abroad.
The Uyghur Muslim minority in China lives in a surveillance state: As reported by the SZ, among others, Beijing has installed thousands of surveillance cameras in the cities of the Xinjiang region, and Uyghurs are sent to re-education camps. Only a few days ago the news agency AP reported that China is also trying to keep the Muslim population under control with drastic birth control.

5 Serious Flaws in the New Brazilian “Fake News” Bill that Will Undermine Human Rights
On Tuesday night (6/30), the Brazilian Senate approved the “PLS 2630/2020”, the so-called “Fake News” bill. A final amendment cut back on article 7 “Account Registration” so that mandatory identification no longer applies to all users and is, in principle, optional in general. Under the revised text, companies "may" demand identification from users where there are complaints of non-compliance with the "fake news" law, or when there is reason to suspect they are bots, are behaving inauthentically, or assuming someone else's identity. The companies are also expected to create some means of detecting fraud in account creation. These new provisions seem to match most companies' existing practices but may be expanded to also include those new obligations established in the "fake news" bill.

When Google listens to you breathe
The world's largest data company could soon gain access to millions of fitness trackers by purchasing Fitbit. The NGO Privacy International explains why it wants to prevent this.
How much does Google know about us? In other words: Is there anything that Google doesn't know about us? Through our searches on Google and YouTube, the company knows our interests. It potentially knows what we think. And through applications like Google Maps, it may even know where we are at all times.
On 15 June, the Google Group informed the European Commission of its plan to acquire Fitbit, a manufacturer of smart watches and fitness trackers. The Commission now has until 20 July to examine the transaction.
Google buys health data treasure
The planned acquisition of Fitbit could give Google access to health data of millions of people. The processing of sensitive data is strictly regulated by EU law - actually. The takeover could violate the rights of billions of people, although many of them have never heard of Fitbit.
Fitbit's products range from simple pedometers to devices that record calorie consumption, breathing and heart rate. Fitness data provides detailed analysis of, for example, sleep patterns, and the devices also allow users to know if they are menstruating or have had unprotected sex. A large part of Fitbit's value lies in this health data.
In the past, Fitbit has constantly expanded its database through new acquisitions. The company has also recently entered into lucrative partnerships with health insurance companies.

ACM calls for governments and businesses to stop using facial recognition
An Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) tech policy group today urged lawmakers to immediately suspend use of facial recognition by businesses and governments, citing documented ethnic, racial, and gender bias. In a letter (👇🏼 PDF) released today by the U.S. Technology Policy Committee (USTPC), the group acknowledges the tech is expected to improve in the future but is not yet “sufficiently mature” and is therefore a threat to people’s human and legal rights.

Facebook once again accidentally reveals user data
5000 developers were able to access user data from Facebook via some apps, which they were not supposed to get. The leak is fixed.
About 5000 developers had access to user data from Facebook, which they should not have been able to see. Actually, the social network has a ban on information from app users that have been inactive for more than 90 days. Actually, that didn't work.
These are apps that users have logged into with their Facebook account. App developers then get access to information such as birthday, email addresses, friend lists and location. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which millions of data were tapped and used for political purposes, Facebook had restricted this access.
Now it has been noticed, says a Facebook blog post, that this 90-day limit did not always last. Nevertheless, some developers continued to gain insights. "This can happen when someone has used a fitness app to invite friends to a workout about it. We didn't notice that some of the friends were inactive for months," explains Facebook. The company doesn't say how many users are affected by this. The data leak has already been plugged. They still want to investigate the incident, but so far there are no indications of misuse of the information by third parties. "We have no indication that any information was shared that users didn't approve."

Auf Instagram posierte er mit Luxuskarossen und erreichte Millionen. Das Geld hatte sich ein Nigerianer aber wohl mit Internetbetrug ergaunert.

Dismantling of an encrypted network sends shockwaves through organised crime groups across Europe
At a joint press conference today, French and Dutch law enforcement and judicial authorities, Europol and Eurojust presented the impressive results of a joint investigation team to dismantle EncroChat, an encrypted phone network widely used by criminal networks.
Over the last months, the joint investigation made it possible to intercept, share and analyse millions of messages that were exchanged between criminals to plan serious crimes. For an important part, these messages were read by law enforcement in real time, over the shoulder of the unsuspecting senders.
