Virtue or Vice? A First Look at Paragonβs Proliferating Spyware Operations | Citizen Lab
#ParagonGraphite
Paragon Solutions was founded in Israel in 2019 and sells spyware called Graphite.
Infrastructure Analysis of Paragon Spyware. Based on a tip from a collaborator, we mapped out server infrastructure that we attribute to Paragonβs Graphite spyware tool. We identified a subset of suspected Paragon deployments, including in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, and Singapore.
Potential links surfaced between Paragon Solutions and the Canadian Ontario Provincial Police, and found evidence of a growing ecosystem of spyware capability among Ontario-based police services.
We forensically analyzed multiple Android phones belonging to Paragon targets in Italy who were notified by WhatsApp. We found clear indications that spyware had been loaded into WhatsApp, as well as other apps on their devices.
We analyzed the iPhone of an individual who worked closely with confirmed Android Paragon targets.#ParagonGraphite

#Google is buying Wiz for $32B to beef up in cloud security, sources say
π Nate Bear: Google's acquisition of israeli cybersecurity company Wiz will mark the single largest transfer of former Unit 8200 israeli spies into any American company. All Wiz founders are former 8200 as are dozens of staff, from office managers to product analysts to software engineers
Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak led a "mission critical R&D team" for #Unit8200, a unit that wrote the programming which automated the genocide of Gaza. Luttwak and team won the 'israel Defence Award 2012' for his work in 8200
The other co-founders of Wiz - Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik - are all former Unit 8200 members who served beyond mandatory service. I have a list of around 50 former Unit 8200 members who are current Wiz employees

β‘οΈmacOS 15 and iOS 18 Is Scanning All Your Photos for Landmarks and Indexing Them in a Database
@takebackourtech
If you're using a Mac or iPhone running the latest software, your photos have been scanned by a new feature: "Enhanced Visual Search". This feature was automatically rolled out and users automatically opted-in.
The only mention of this feature was on Apple's legal notice for photos:
This applies to any and all photos stored on the device, not just the ones uploaded to iCloud, and as soon as the update is installed the feature is activated - before you even start to use the search feature. You had no choice in the matter.
But don't worry - Apple didn't link the photos to your account or IP address - so forcing millions of people to automatically use this feature doesn't matter.
Just another example of how your tech owns you - not the other way around.

The only mention of this feature was on Apple's legal notice for photos:
Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.
This applies to any and all photos stored on the device, not just the ones uploaded to iCloud, and as soon as the update is installed the feature is activated - before you even start to use the search feature. You had no choice in the matter.

π° The Pixel 9a offers like ... 90% of the experience that the Pixel 9 offers (totally making that number up)
But to make it $300 cheaper, Google had to cut some corners. And one of those cut features is, sadly, satellite SOS/messaging.
