⚡️ Internet Phone Number Privacy Improvements
@takebackourtech

In this clip from Above’s ‘The Future of Cell Service’ webinar I speak about how we work with our partners in Canada JMP and the future of Above to become a provider of internet phone numbers in order to offer our customers the ultimate privacy.

Internet phone numbers are important because they allow you to make calls and texts through WiFi and over a VPN, which will leave no subscriber information on record. If you’re using cell service, the phone call will be disassociated from your usage.

Android spyware trojan targets Russian military personnel who use Alpine Quest mapping software

Doctor Web’s experts have discovered Android.Spy.1292.origin, spyware whose main target is Russian military personnel. The attackers hide this trojan inside modified Alpine Quest mapping software and distribute it in various ways, including through one of the Russian Android app catalogs. Among other things, the malware sends the attackers phonebook contact information and the infected device’s geolocation.

Moreover, this spyware collects data about the files stored on the devices and, when commanded by threat actors, can download additional modules possessing the functionality needed to steal the files.
