| 2 | 📱Microsoft has confirmed a new and quite alarming Wi-Fi vulnerability in Windows, which has been rated 8.8 out of 10 in terms of severity using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vulnerability, assigned as CVE-2024-30078, does not require an attacker to have physical access to the targeted computer, although physical proximity is needed.

| 4 | 👁🗨 Apple & Google WiFi Surveillance Can Track Death & Destruction
Chances are, if you’ve used Google Maps or Apple Maps, you’ve contributed to one of the biggest surveillance databases in the world.
Known for their accuracy, big tech maps can locate your phone within a few meters and even indoors.
No, these big tech maps aren’t using GPS - they’re using WPS or Wi-Fi positioning system.
These WPS systems collect millions of WiFi networks and tag them with locations.
Researchers in Maryland discovered through a flaw in Apple’s WPS that they could gather at least 2B (2 Billion) WiFi location points by requesting WiFi networks at random.
That’s enough points to cover the world’s populated areas, notably China was nearly empty except for a few thousand points. Looks like even the CCP can’t opt out of this surveillance.
We did the work for them.
When you use Google or Apple maps, your phone will send the nearby WiFi networks along with their signal strength to the WPS. The WPS will look up these networks in a database that has hundreds of millions of networks along with their location. The calculation is then performed on the server for Google location’s service, and on the phone for Apple location’s service - which sent a list of 400 additional WiFi points back.
And this is how you get a precise location for your phone. Any new WiFi networks you scanned are potentially added to the WPS databases.
Apple & Google have made their users the instrument of their surveillance.
And the things you can do with this surveillance are harrowing. The researchers were able to see how many WiFi access points went offline in Gaza due to the constant bombardment that caused the deaths of 40,000 civilians.
Similarly the researchers were able to see the damage from the August 2023 Maui fires, and the emigration of people from Ukraine to escape forced conscription.
Apple, Google and any organization they choose to share this WiFi data will have incredible capabilities. Don’t worry though - because these companies care so much about privacy - they give you a way to opt out.
Solutions
Add _nomap to the end of your WiFi SSID (name), Google and Apple promise not to index Wifi networks ending with those names.
Turn off your WiFi network and use ethernet cable.

| 5 | 👮 Two Arrested in UK for Smishing Campaign Powered by Homemade SMS Blaster 🚨
The suspects, arrested in May in Manchester and London, allegedly used a homemade mobile antenna to send thousands of phishing SMS messages to unsuspecting individuals.
The messages were crafted to mimic those of banks and other official organizations, and the illegal SMS blaster allowed the perpetrators to bypass the protections put in place by mobile phone networks to block suspicious text messages, the authorities announced.

| 7 | How to Quit Google, According to a Privacy Expert
Quitting Google isn't like that. It makes many products, many of which you depend on to live your digital life. Leaving a company like that is like a divorce, according to an expert I talked to. "It's not easy, but you feel so much better at the other side," said Janet Vertesi, a sociology professor at Princeton who publishes work on human computer interaction. "Think of a friend who gets a divorce and is so happy to be out. That could be you. That's how it feels to leave Google."

| 12 | ⚠️The European Union's new Council Presidency proposal pretends to respect your rights, but it again fails to address the three most critical issues in the proposed EU CSA Regulation:
Unlawful mass surveillance: The proposal enables mass data collection without sufficient legal basis.
Jeopardizing encryption: It effectively mandates client-side scanning in the EU, undermining the integrity of end-to-end encryption.
Mandatory age verification: It requires intrusive and widespread age verification measures.

| 13 | Microsoft violates children’s privacy – but blames your local school
In the wake of the pandemic, schools in the European Union have increasingly begun to implement digital services for online learning. While these modernisation efforts are a welcome development, a small number of big tech companies immediately tried to dominate the space – often with the intention of getting children used to their systems and creating a new generation of future “loyal” customers. One of them is Microsoft, whose 365 Education services violate children’s data protection rights. When pupils wanted to exercise their GDPR rights, Microsoft said schools were the “controller” for their data. However, the schools have no control over the systems.

| 18 | Windows users on suicide watch: turns out, extracting everything that Microsoft is scanning is trivial:
https://scribe.rip/https:/doublepulsar.com/recall-stealing-everything-youve-ever-typed-or-viewed-on-your-own-windows-pc-is-now-possible-da3e12e9465e
Every few seconds, screenshots are taken. These are automatically OCR’d by Azure AI, running on your device, and written into an SQLite database in the user’s folder.
This database file has a record of everything you’ve ever viewed on your PC in plain text. OCR is a process of looking at an image and extracting the letters.
While this keylogging "feature" can allegedly be opted out of, it is on by default. Your clueless parents, employer, etc will have all sorts of sensitive information tied up with a little bow for the next piece of malware they get exposed to.
One cannot believe this is a simple oversight on Microsoft's end. Glowniggers of all types need more consoomer data, after all. | 0 |
