#Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov has taken a page out of #Signal book and says he'll pull the app out of France if officials demand an encryption #backdoor
t.me/durov/410 (on Telegram)

TelegramDu Rove's Channel😲 Last month, France nearly banned encryption. A law requiring messaging apps to implement a backdoor for police access to private messages was passed by the Senate. Luckily, it was shot down by the National Assembly. Yet 3 days ago the Paris Police Prefect advocated for it again. 🤦‍♂️ The members of the National Assembly were wise to reject a law that would have made France the first country in the world to strip its citizens of their right to privacy. Even countries that many Europeans view as lacking in freedoms have never banned encryption. Why? Because it’s technically impossible to guarantee that only the police can access a backdoor. Once introduced, a backdoor can be exploited by other parties — from foreign agents to hackers. As a result, the private messages of all law abiding citizens can get compromised. Aimed at preventing drug trafficking, the law wouldn’t have helped fight crime anyway. Even if mainstream encrypted apps had been weakened by a backdoor, criminals could still communicate securely…

ProtectEU threatens End-to-End-Encryption across VPNs, messaging apps, and secure email services.

This is part of a growing global trend where governments push for backdoors under the guise of national security. While aimed at combating crime, these proposals risk eroding digital privacy, weakening cybersecurity, and potentially driving privacy-focused services out of EU jurisdictions altogether.

While NPR was unable to recover the code for that project, the name itself suggests that Wick could have been designing a #backdoor, or "Bdoor," to extract files from #NLRB's internal case management system, known as NxGen, acc/to several #cybersecurity experts who reviewed Berulis' conclusions.

…NxGen is an internal system that was designed specifically for the NLRB in-house, acc/to several of the engineers who created the tool….

Apple has filed an appeal against a UK gov 🇬🇧 order to create a #backdoor in its cloud #encryption to help law enforcement investigations

After the hearing about a mandated back door happened behind closed doors, Apple very nearly immediately filed an appeal, with the backing of most of the world's governments, privacy advocates, and journalism organizations

That appeal has been heard, and at some point, the results of the hearing will be made clear

#Europa.

Lunedì scorso è stato presentato il piano #ProtectEU

Entro il 2025 verrà sviluppata una tabella di marcia per consentire un accesso legale ed efficace ai dati da parte delle forze dell’ordine

Non esiste una #backdoor “solo per i buoni”: una volta creata, può essere sfruttata da chiunque riesca a trovarla. E soprattutto, apre un varco non solo nei dispositivi, ma in uno dei principi fondamentali degli esseri umani: il diritto alla riservatezza.

Un mail d'avertissement par la DGSI du risque d'espionnage économique.

Un article qui dit que la patronne de la DGSI qui dit qu'ils ont besoin de backdoor pour travailler. (Et donc elle justifie les backdoor de la loi #narcotrafic )

Si une telle #backdoor est imposée, ça va forcément aider l'espionnage économique. 😂

Si la vie privée est un délit, seuls les délinquants y ont droit.

woah, exactly as theorised by literally everyone that isn't fucking racist: #ESP32 "#backdoor" was just sensationalised by a security firm in order to get clicks for their own blog post which is basically just advertising their services

big conflict of interest. who knew that the biggest security violation will always be capitalist motives ✨

YouTubedid they really find a backdoor in 1 billion devices? (esp32 drama)By Low Level

Yikes, from an article that contains a lot more detail, but just to get your attention as to the impact part:

«The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.

The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence.

…

"Exploitation of this backdoor would allow hostile actors to conduct impersonation attacks and permanently infect sensitive devices such as mobile phones, computers, smart locks or medical equipment by bypassing code audit controls."

The researchers warned that ESP32 is one of the world's most widely used chips for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, so the risk is significant.»

People worried about this topic might also "enjoy" the recent Netflix series Zero Day.

And not to get too far afield, but hopefully it also didn't escape notice that there have been broad firings of qualified people in the US government for reasons related not to their technical skill or ability to protect our nation from issues like this, but because of irrelevant details of their private lives or personal leanings on issues of having fair and competent government, helping the needy, defending individual human freedom and dignity, or avoiding mass death in myriad ever-more-likely ways.
