Gangsters with Blackberry's & the Upsurge in "Intelligence Led" Busts

A sensational story about the criminal use of encryption appeared across social media this week like it was a scoop. It wasn’t. But that’s the way it was portrayed.

So What Happened?

The headlines varied but basically Vincent Ramos…

Snapchat and Skype have huge security breaches

Looking back at the Syrian Electronic Army hack of Skype in 2014 – Microsoft’s video calling service Skype was hacked by a group identifying themselves as the Syrian Electronic Army, and they used their hacking opportunity to claim that Skype, along with Microsoft’s other apps such as Outlook, were spying on its users and giving information to the government. An article was posted on Skype’s…

"A Song for the Deaf" (and the Blind)

The opacity of US laws and #SIGINT collection methods is potentially an abuse of the rights of every defendant that comes in front of their Courts.

Songs for the Deaf, released on August 27 2002, was the third studio album by Queens of the Stone Age. There is a track on there called “A Song for the Deaf” with a line in the lyrics:

“No talk will cure what’s lost, or save what’s left”

That line does just fine at summing up my attitude to the long term prospects for the privacy of our data and our privacy rights as individuals. The multiplicity…

Focus on Kaspersky hides facts of another NSA contractor theft

Another #NSA Contractor steals secrets but is disguised by #Kaspersky #FSB #IIC #Israel debate

The Wall Street Journal based their story on the fact that another NSA contractor took classified documents home with him. Yet another Russian intelligence operation stole copies of those documents. The twist this time is that the Russians identified the documents because the contractor had Kaspersky Labs anti-virus installed on his home computer.

This is either an example of the Russians…

Mining for Tickets - Touts & Ticket Stealing Bots

Anti-bot measures & stronger enforcement of consumer rights not "lip service" #tickets #touts

Automated ticket mining bots can get around security measures designed to limit ticket purchases. These bots can hoover up hundreds of tickets within seconds of their release. The tickets then almost immediately appear at vastly inflated prices on resale websites.

In early 2017 Viagogo a secondary ticketing website was accused of “moral repugnance” for reselling tickets to an Ed Sheeran cancer…

Ticket Resellers, "Legal" Domestic Touts, Illegal Offshore Touts

Ticket Resellers - "Legal" Domestic Touts, Illegal Offshore Touts #tickets #touts #fairplay

It is important that fans understand that there are different types of secondary ticket companies. Some of these outfits have no affiliation with associations, football clubs, or supporters clubs and are often based offshore so that they are not subject to UK law.

The general resale of football tickets in the UK was banned in 1994 because of safety fears over the possibility of rival fans…
