Real-Time Passive Sound Recovery from Light Bulb Vibrations

Spies Can Listen to Your Conversations by Watching a Light Bulb in the Room

You might not believe it, but it's possible to spy on secret conversations happening in a room from a nearby remote location just by observing a light bulb hanging in there—visible from a window—and measuring the amount of light it emits.

A team of cybersecurity researchers has developed and demonstrated a novel side-channel attacking technique that can be applied by eavesdroppers to recover full sound from a victim's room that contains an overhead hanging bulb.

The findings were published in a new paper by a team of academics—Ben Nassi, Yaron Pirutin, Adi Shamir, Yuval Elovici and Boris Zadov—from the Israeli's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Weizmann Institute of Science, which will also be presented at the Black Hat USA 2020 conference later this August.

The technique for long-distance eavesdropping, called "Lamphone," works by capturing minuscule sound waves optically through an electro-optical sensor directed at the bulb and using it to recover speech and recognize music.

You can bypass youtube ads by adding a dot after the domain

💡On desktop browsers.

To follow up: I had initially assumed that it didn't work on mobile because the browsers normalized the URL, however this isn't the case. The redirection happens on the server side. So, if you want this to work on mobile browsers, use the "Request Desktop Site" feature.

For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuB8VUICGqc // will occasionally show ads

https://www.youtube.com./watch?v=DuB8VUICGqc // will not show ads

It's a commonly forgotten edge case, websites forget to normalize the hostname, the content is still served, but there's no hostname match on the browser so no cookies and broken CORS - and lots of bigger sites use a different domain to serve ads/media with a whitelist that doesn't contain the extra dot

💡 This works for many news websites as well serving paywalls, e.g.

https://www.nytimes.com./2020/06/09/us/george-floyd-who-is.html

Many Police Departments Have Software That Can Identify People In Crowds

BriefCam, a facial recognition and surveillance video analysis company, sells the ability to surveil protesters and enforce social distancing — without the public knowing.

As protesters demand an end to police brutality and the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the nation, police departments around the country are using software that can track and identify people in crowds from surveillance footage — often with little to no public oversight or knowledge.

Dozens of cities around the country are using BriefCam, which sells software that allows police to comb through surveillance footage to monitor protests and enforce social distancing, and almost all of these cities have hosted protests against police brutality in the weeks since George Floyd was killed in police custody, BuzzFeed News has found.

Some of the cities using BriefCam’s technology — such as New Orleans and St. Paul — have been the site of extreme police violence, with officers using rubber bullets, tear gas, and batons on protesters. Authorities in Chicago; Boston; Detroit; Denver; Doral, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; and Santa Fe County, New Mexico have also used it.

Some cities said they were not using BriefCam in conjunction with the protests or the pandemic. The St. Paul Police Department told BuzzFeed News that it has not used BriefCam “to detect social distancing or face masks” or “for crowd detection/monitoring protests.” The department representative did not respond when asked if there is department policy that prevents it.

BriefCam shows the line between contact tracing, policing, and surveillance can be thin — as cities can spend tens of thousands of dollars for powerful technology, with few restrictions on how police can use it.

BriefCam did not return multiple requests for comment or respond to a detailed list of questions.

Anonymous Tweets U.S. Hit by Major DDoS Attack on June 15

Following a massive cell phone service outage that affected hundreds of thousands of T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint customers on Monday, the hacktivist group Anonymous tweeted that it was a result of a “major DDoS attack.” The companies affected and authorities have not confirmed the claim.

DDoS, short for Distributed Denial of Service, is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. Attackers target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, flooding the sites with too much information to operate and causing a major challenge to people wanting to publish or access important information.

Anonymous tweeted out a digital map that appeared to show the various types of attacks happening between America and the rest of the world on Monday.

The U.S. is currently under a major DDoS attack. https://t.co/7pmLpWUzUp pic.twitter.com/W5giIA2Inc

L’App unique - France goes it alone on digital contact tracing

The European Commission wants to make Corona-tracing apps work across borders ahead of the summer holidays. But the French app has been excluded.

Today, Germany has launched its much-debated app for digital contact tracing in a bid to prevent a second wave of the Corona virus. While the app is only available in Germany, the European Union wants to make digital contact tracing work beyond borders.

On the same day the German app was rolled out, the EU Commission has unveiled technical specifications that shall enable different corona apps to exchange data and thus function across countries. In technical jargon this is called interoperability.

Based on the decentralised approach, the European Commission has announced it will set up a server infrastructure to link national apps. This federation gateway, as it is referred to in a 10-page technical document released by the Commission, shall be up and running within three weeks.

A pilot test between Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Ireland shall start shortly after, Commission spokesperson Johannes Bahrke said in Brussels.

However, one country is notably absent from the European undertaking – France. The Commission says that the data exchange will erstwhile only work for apps using a decentralised approach to store user data.

A Quick and Dirty Guide to Cell Phone Surveillance at Protests

As uprisings over police brutality and institutionalized racism have swept over the country, many people are facing the full might of law enforcement weaponry and surveillance for the first time. Whenever protesters, cell phones, and police are in the same place, protesters should worry about cell phone surveillance.

Often, security practitioners or other protesters respond to that worry with advice about the use of cell-site simulators (also known as a CSS, IMSI catcher, Stingray, Dirtbox, Hailstorm, fake base station, or Crossbow) by local law enforcement. But often this advice is misguided or rooted in a fundamental lack of understanding of what a cell-site simulator is, what it does, and how often they are used.

The bottom line is this:
there is very little concrete evidence of cell site simulators being used against protesters in the U.S. The threat of cell site simulators should not stop activists from voicing their dissent or using their phones. On the other hand, given that more than 85 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies around the country have some type of CSS (some of which are used hundreds of times per year), it’s not unreasonable to include cell site simulators in your security plan if you are going to a protest and take some simple steps to protect yourself.

2020: A Facebook user's Odyssey?

Join us on a journey to try to solve the mystery behind the advertisers who have uploaded our personal data to Facebook but with whom we've never interacted with before.

👀 Key findings:

👉🏼 In summer 2019, we noticed that "unknown" companies had been uploading our data to Facebook and we decided to send Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) to find out more.

👉🏼 This ended up being a lengthy and tedious process, involving requests to fill in unnecessary forms or being asked to provide more data than needed as well as other obstacles to the proper and smooth exercise of our data access rights.

👉🏼 Eventually, we managed to shed some light on the "Facebook advertisers mystery" by finding out more about the involvement of third parties in the process.

👉🏼 However, our investigation demonstrates the need to continue challenging this opacity overall and Facebook's less than adequate transparency

👉🏼 As a result of this investigation some companies reviewed their practices and we have written to Facebook to demand changes.

Moroccan Journalist Targeted With Network Injection Attacks Using NSO Group’s Tools

👀 Summary:

👉🏼 In October 2019 Amnesty International published a first report on the use of spyware produced by Israeli company NSO Group against Moroccan human rights defenders Maati Monjib and Abdessadak El Bouchattaoui. Through our continued investigation, Amnesty International’s Security Lab identified similar evidence of the targeting of Omar Radi, a prominent activist and journalist from Morocco from January 2019 until the end of January 2020.

👉🏼 Evidence gathered through our technical analysis of Omar Radi’s iPhone revealed traces of the same “network injection” attacks we described in our earlier report that were used against Maati Monjib. This provides strong evidence linking these attacks to NSO Group’s tools.

👉🏼 These findings are especially significant because Omar Radi was targeted just three days after NSO Group released its human rights policy. These attacks continued after the company became aware of Amnesty International’s first report that provided evidence of the targeted attacks in Morocco. This investigation thus, demonstrates NSO Group’s continued failure to conduct adequate human rights due diligence and the inefficacy of its own human rights policy.

👀 Introduction:

In October 2019 Amnesty International published the report “Morocco: Human Rights Defenders Targeted with NSO Group’s Spyware”, where we detailed the targeting of Moroccan human rights defenders Maati Monjib and Abdessadak El Bouchattaoui using surveillance technology produced by the company NSO Group. In this current report, Amnesty International now reveals that Omar Radi, another prominent human rights defender and journalist from Morocco was also targeted using NSO Group’s tools.

80,000 printers are exposing their IPP port online

Printers are leaking device names, locations, models, firmware versions, organization names, and even WiFi SSIDs.

For years, security researchers have warned that every device left exposed online without being protected by a firewall is an attack surface.

Hackers can deploy exploits to forcibly take control over the device, or they can just connect to the exposed port if no authentication is required.

Devices hacked this way are often enslaved in malware botnets, or they serve as initial footholds and backdoors into larger corporate networks (Russian hackers already use this technique).

However, despite this being common knowledge among cyber-security and IT experts, we still have a large number of devices that are left exposed online unsecured.

Google billionaire Sergey Brin has a secret charity that sends ex-military staff into disaster zones on a superyacht

Global Support and Development is made up of ex-military men and Brin’s former bodyguards. But their mission isn’t warfare.

Sergey Brin, Google cofounder and world's eighth-richest person, has a secret disaster-response team according to a report by The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast's investigation found Brin was the sole donor to a disaster charity called Global Support and Development (GSD). The Beast identified Brin as the company's sole donor through a California court filing.

The company, almost half of whose staff are ex-military, arrives at disaster areas on a superyacht called "Dragonfly" to clear debris and use high-tech solutions to assist victims. GSD is headed up by Grant Dawson, an ex-naval lieutenant who was one of Brin's personal security detail for years.

The idea for GSD was apparently sparked in 2015 when the yacht's captain was sailing past Vanuatu, which had just been hit by Cyclone Pam. The captain contacted Brin to ask if anything could be done to help, and Brin in turn got in touch with Dawson.

Dawson said in a speech in 2019 about GSD: "So I grabbed a number of Air Force para-rescue guys I'd been affiliated with from the security world, and a couple of corpsmen out of the [Navy] Seal teams [...] We raided every Home Depot and pharmacy we could find and on about 18 hours' notice, we launched."

Tools for encryption and anonymity - Germany and Europe need to step up to their responsibility

Much of the funding of projects for the technical implementation of digital freedoms is threatened by the Trump Government. It is now time for Germany and Europe to step into the breach and provide adequate and sustainable funding for the development ecosystem. A commentary.

The continuing erosion of the political and legal protection of civil liberties has led to a situation where freedom of information and communication and the right to privacy and anonymity become increasingly dependent on technology. Digital self-defence has many facets: anonymisation tools such as Tor, end-to-end encryption such as WireGuard or Signal, securing website access with LetsEncrypt or the tools for reproducible builds, which ensure that the software you install has actually been created from source code that someone has checked for security holes. This ecosystem of software and infrastructure has grown exponentially since the Snowden revelations.

Many of these projects have one thing in common: Their development is funded by the US government, often with money from the Open Technology Fund (OTF). Some projects like Tor also receive money from the US State Department and other US government agencies. But why would the US government fund technology development that makes life difficult for the NSA intelligence agency?

Millions of Telegram Users’ Data Exposed on Darknet

Telegram’s built-in contact import feature was exploited to leak the personal data of millions of users onto the darknet.

Telegram, a major privacy-focused messaging app, has suffered a data leak that exposed some personal data of its users on the darknet.

A database containing the personal data of millions of Telegram users has been posted on a darknet forum. The issue was first reported by Russian-language tech publication Kod.ru on Tuesday.

According to the report, the database contains phone numbers and unique Telegram user IDs. It remains unclear exactly how many users' data was leaked while the database file is about 900 megabytes.

About 40% of entries in the database should be relevant
Telegram has reportedly acknowledged the existence of the leaked database to Kod.ru. The database was collected through exploiting Telegram’s built-in contacts import feature at registration, Telegram reportedly said.

Telegram noted that the data in the leaked database is mostly outdated. According to the report, 84% of data entries in the database were collected before mid-2019. As such, at least 60% of the database is outdated, Telegram declared in the report.

Additionally, 70% of leaked accounts came from Iran, while the remaining 30% were based in Russia.

Exclusive: Trump administration says Huawei, Hikvision backed by Chinese military

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration has determined that top Chinese firms, including telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies and video surveillance company Hikvision (002415.SZ), are owned or controlled by the Chinese military, laying the groundwork for new U.S. financial sanctions.

Washington placed Huawei and Hikvision on a trade blacklist last year over national security concerns and has led an international campaign to convince allies to exclude Huawei from their 5G networks.

A Department of Defense (DOD) document listing 20 companies operating in the United States that Washington alleges are backed by the Chinese military was first reported by Reuters.

The DOD document also includes China Mobile Communications Group (0941.HK) and China Telecommunications Corp [CTTTC.UL] as well as aircraft manufacturer Aviation Industry Corp of China [SASADY.UL].

The designations were drawn up by the Defense Department, which was mandated by a 1999 law to compile a list of Chinese military companies operating in the United States, including those “owned or controlled” by the People’s Liberation Army that provide commercial services, manufacture, produce or export.

TikTok seems to be copying and pasting your clipboard with every keystroke

A new privacy feature in iOS 14 has revealed that TikTok is copying the contents of your clipboard with every keystroke. The new feature – called paste notifications – shows that TikTok is inspecting the clipboard with each new keystroke, and it’s possible that they’re also grabbing the contents and storing it for later to be sent off with the other information that TikTok phones home with. This discovery was tweeted by Jeremy Burge and is demonstrated in this Video.
