Pourquoi Berlin envisage de bannir les entreprises chinoises Huawei et ZTE de son réseau 5G

12 mars 2023 / noflux

“Les relations avec la Chine font à nouveau l’actualité, annonce Die Zeit. Le gouvernement du social-démocrate Olaf Scholz envisage en effet d’interdire l’utilisation dans le réseau 5G allemand de certains équipements produits par les entreprises chinoises Huawei et ZTE. En cause, “la crainte que les fournisseurs originaires de certains États – ici la Chine – soient contrôlés par leur gouvernement et que celui-ci puisse ainsi intervenir directement ou indirectement sur le réseau de téléphonie mobile allemand”.”

La vidéosurveillance intelligente fera ses premiers pas aux JO et sera expérimentée jusqu’en juin 2025

“Le texte du projet de loi précise en l’occurrence qu’il s’agit, avec ces traitements algorithmiques, de procéder « exclusivement à un signalement d’attention, strictement limité à l’indication du ou des événements qu’ils ont été programmés pour détecter ». L’utilisation de cet outil ne pourra déboucher sur « aucune décision individuelle ou acte de poursuite ». Si Mme Oudéa-Castéra a assuré que ces dispositifs devront être examinés par la Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés et le Conseil d’Etat, ils apparaissent tout aussi « graves » que la reconnaissance faciale, en matière de libertés publiques, aux yeux de certains spécialistes de ce sujet.”

This Anti-Tracking Tool Checks If You’re Being Followed

“Edmondson has no plans to make the device into a commercial product, but he says the design could easily be copied and reused by anyone with some technical knowledge. Many of the parts involved are easy to obtain or may be lying around the homes of people in tech communities.
Ultimately, he says, the tech community needs to take tech-enabled tracking and surveillance more seriously. “It was really kind of disheartening and depressing to look at the ratio of tools to spy on people versus tools to help you not get spied on,” he says, adding that a person close to him has been the victim of a stalker in the past. In the case of his clandestine friend in another government department, the anti-tracking device was useful. “It was really designed to help someone who came to me asking for help,” he says. Fortunately for Edmondson’s friend (and his source), they used it in the real world, and the device didn’t find anyone following them.”

“Both Elkins and Hudson argue that hardware-based espionage via supply-chain hijacking is a technical reality, and one that may be easier to accomplish than many of the world’s security administrators realize. « What I want people to recognize is that chipping implants are not imaginary. They’re relatively straightforward, » says Elkins. « If I can do this, someone with hundreds of millions in their budget has been doing this for a while. »”

“Google has yanked dozens of apps from its Google Play store after determining that they include a software element that surreptitiously harvests data.The Panamanian company that wrote the code, Measurement Systems S. de R.L., is linked through corporate records and web registrations to a Virginia defense contractor that does cyberintelligence, network-defense and intelligence-intercept work for U.S. national-security agencies.The code ran on millions of Android devices and has been found inside several Muslim prayer apps that have been downloaded more than 10 million times, as well as a highway-speed-trap detection app, a QR-code reading app and a number of other popular consumer apps, according to two researchers who discovered the behavior of the code in the course of auditing work they do searching for vulnerabilities in Android apps. They shared their findings with Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., federal privacy regulators and The Wall Street Journal.”

Joint Statement on Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework

27 mars 2022 / noflux

“The European Commission and the United States announce that they have agreed in principle on a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, which will foster trans-Atlantic data flows and address the concerns raised by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Schrems II decision of July 2020. The new Framework marks an unprecedented commitment on the U.S. side to implement reforms that will strengthen the privacy and civil liberties protections applicable to U.S. signals intelligence activities. Under the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, the United States is to put in place new safeguards to ensure that signals surveillance activities are necessary and proportionate in the pursuit of defined national security objectives, establish a two-level independent redress mechanism with binding authority to direct remedial measures, and enhance rigorous and layered oversight of signals intelligence activities to ensure compliance with limitations on surveillance activities.”

« The facial recognition company Clearview AI is telling investors it is on track to have 100 billion facial photos in its database within a year, enough to ensure “almost everyone in the world will be identifiable,” according to a financial presentation from December obtained by The Washington Post.

And the company wants to expand beyond scanning faces for the police, saying in the presentation that it could monitor “gig economy” workers and is researching a number of new technologies that could identify someone based on how they walk, detect their location from a photo or scan their fingerprints from afar ».
