Jak wykupione rozszerzenia Chrome zmieniły się w malware i adware

Dzisiaj praktycznie wszystko można zrobić w przeglądarce. Korzystanie z dedykowanej aplikacji do maili, pakietu biurowego czy komunikatora nie jest konieczne, bo większość takich usług działa również w wersjach webowych. Co za tym idzie, przeglądarka staje się de facto środowiskiem do uruchamiania innych aplikacji. TLDR: A środowisko takie musi być wygodne,...

**اختراق الهواتف الخلوية بوساطة الإعلانات**

تستخدم برنامج التجسس Predator من شركة المراقبة Intellexa آلية عدوى صفر نقرة يطلق عليها اسم "علاء الدين" ، والتي تعرض أهدافًا محددة للخطر ببساطة من خلال عرض إعلان ضار.

هذا ناقل العدوى القوي وغير المعروف سابقًا مخبأ بدقة وراء الشركات الوهمية المنتشرة في العديد من البلدان ، والتي تم الكشف عنها الآن في تحقيق مشترك جديد من قبل Inside Story و Haaretz و WAV Research Collective.

ويستند التحقيق إلى "إنتليلكسا ليكس" - وهي مجموعة من وثائق الشركة الداخلية المسربة والمواد التسويقية، ويعززها بحث تقني من خبراء الطب الشرعي والأمن في منظمة العفو الدولية وجوجل والمستقبل المسجل.

تم نشر علاء الدين لأول مرة في عام 2024 ويعتقد أنه لا يزال يعمل وتطويره بنشاط ، ويستفيد من نظام الإعلان التجاري عبر الهاتف المحمول لتقديم البرامج الضارة.

وتفرض الآلية الإعلانات المسلّمة على أهداف محددة يتم تحديدها من خلال عنوان IP العام والمعرفات الأخرى، وتوجه المنصات عبر منصة جانب الطلب (DSP) لخدمتها على أي موقع ويب يشارك في شبكة الإعلانات.

"يمكن تقديم هذا الإعلان الضار على أي موقع ويب يعرض إعلانات، مثل موقع إخباري موثوق به أو تطبيق جوال، وسيظهر مثل أي إعلان آخر من المرجح أن يراه الهدف".

"توضح مواد الشركة الداخلية أن مجرد مشاهدة الإعلان يكفي لتحريك العدوى على جهاز الهدف ، دون أي حاجة للنقر على الإعلان نفسه."

على الرغم من عدم توفر تفاصيل حول كيفية عمل العدوى ، إلا أن Google تذكر أن الإعلانات تؤدي إلى إعادة توجيه إلى خوادم تسليم استغلال Intellexa.

يتم نقل الإعلانات من خلال شبكة معقدة من شركات الإعلان المنتشرة في بلدان متعددة ، بما في ذلك أيرلندا وألمانيا وسويسرا واليونان وقبرص والإمارات العربية المتحدة والمجر.

حفرت شركة Recorded Future بشكل أعمق في شبكة الإعلانات ، وربط النقاط بين الأشخاص الرئيسيين والشركات والبنية التحتية ، وتسمية بعض تلك الشركات في تقريرها.

يعد الدفاع ضد تلك الإعلانات الضارة أمرًا معقدًا ، لكن حظر الإعلانات على المتصفح سيكون نقطة انطلاق جيدة.

ومن التدابير الدفاعية المحتملة الأخرى تعيين المتصفح لإخفاء عنوان IP العام من أجهزة التتبع.

ومع ذلك، تظهر الوثائق المسربة أنه لا يزال بإمكان Intellexa الحصول على المعلومات من مشغلي الهواتف المحمولة المحليين في بلد عميلهم.

ومن النتائج الرئيسية الأخرى في التسرب تأكيد وجود ناقل توصيل آخر يسمى "تريتون" ، والذي يمكن أن يستهدف الأجهزة المزودة بـ Samsung Exynos مع مآثر النطاقات الأساسية ، مما يجبر عمليات خفض 2G على وضع الأرض للعدوى.

إن محللي منظمة العفو الدولية غير متأكدين مما إذا كان هذا المتجه لا يزال مستخدماً، ويلاحظون أن هناك آليتين أخريين، ربما تكونان مماثلتين، تحملان الاسمان الرمزي "ثور" و"أوبيرون"، يُعتقد أنهما تنطويان على اتصالات لاسلكية أو هجمات وصول مادية.

يسمي باحثو Google Intellexa كواحدة من أكثر بائعي برامج التجسس التجارية غزارة من حيث الاستغلال في يوم الصفر ، وهي المسؤولة عن 15 حالة من أصل 70 حالة من حالات الاستغلال في يوم الصفر التي تم اكتشافها وتوثيقها منذ عام 2021.

وتقول جوجل إن إنتلكسا تطور مآثرها الخاصة وتشتري أيضا سلاسل استغلال من كيانات خارجية لتغطية مجموعة كاملة من الاستهداف المطلوب.

وعلى الرغم من العقوبات والتحقيقات الجارية ضد إنتلكسا في اليونان، فإن مشغل برامج التجسس نشط كما كان دائما، وفقا لمنظمة العفو الدولية.

مع تطور Predator إلى أن يصبح أكثر خفاءً وأصعب في التتبع ، يوصى المستخدمين بالنظر في تمكين حماية إضافية على أجهزتهم المحمولة ، مثل الحماية المتقدمة على Android و Lockdown Mode على iOS.

@volpeon @puniko IMHO #IPv6's notation should've been #decimal like #IPv4 so the entire IPv4 address space would've fit as a #subnet into it, providing us with a transition mechanism that would've allowed backwards compatibility by virtue of addressing every port as a dedicaded IPv6, enabling way faster adoption.

Sadly until EVERYTHING supports IPv6 natively and comes with fixed prefixes (at least a /64 on mobile) that are statically allocated, I can't even use it.

There's a reason I've got a /28 of IPv4's but by ISP won't even delegate me a /48 of IPv6's: Because there is neither demand nor offer for that.

And yes, HE.net's #Tunnelbroker isn't solving issues because even if I choose a PoP in Germany everyone will just blatantly #GeoIP (which on it's own should be illegal IMHO!) one to the #USA, worsening the entire experience by virtue of illegal #Adware and #Tracking...

@iampytest1 Let me see if I understand this correct.

The programs you are trying to tag is programs that counter blacklists with whitelists, without notifying or righting about it to the end user, right?

that would “just” be #Malware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

If the programs you are trying to tag is programs that counter blacklists with whitelists, and writing it on page 700 of 1300 user agreements pages, then I would just call it potentially unwanted program ( #PUP ) or potentially unwanted application ( #PUA ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentially_unwanted_program

Such software may use an implementation that can compromise privacy or weaken the computer’s security. Companies often bundle a wanted program download with a wrapper application and may offer to install an unwanted application, and in some cases without providing a clear opt-out method.

What is it exactly that is your final goal here? Specify it is #adware related or also other kinds of #privacy threatening #software or #apps ?

Who does Apple's dirty work for them?

The app store launders the ill-gotten surveillance adware and data-sharing revenue that app vendors are resorting to in order to turn a profit while they pay Apple's high fees.

iOS apps commonly embed adware and share user data with "partners" to extract every last penny from user data. While the problem extends far beyond iOS, that ecosystem is the most strongly wedded to adware & data sharing. Apple's "we removed tracking from the OS" is a sly ruse, when they can reap massive profits from the apps that embed 3rd party adware.

People who want to see how much Apple is compromised by this conflict of interest should check out their response to the Patternz adware-turned-malware (which most Apple fans seem unaware of)...

Шаровары: тогда и сейчас

Wolfenstein 3D, одна из самых популярных шароварных игр начала 90-х В 90-е годы популярной моделью продажи программ была shareware (как их тогда называли, «шаровары»). Особенной популярностью она пользовалась у независимых разработчиков. Благодаря интернету они могли распространять свои программы без дополнительных затрат и накладных расходов. Всё работало очень просто. Написал полезную утилиту (например, архиватор или плеер) — и её могут купить тысячи людей. Если программа очень хорошая, станешь миллионером за несколько месяцев, как 18-летний Джастин Франкель с плеером Winamp. В принципе, эта модель работает и сейчас.

Yes, getting and #internetConnection from ones #phone, aka #tethering, is such an fundamental part of so-called #smartphone ownership.

Its negligence that legacy #UI's never made it obvious to the user what it is and how it can be used. Instead people used a hodge-podge of app grift (#adware etc) to toggle a couple native settings.

Very poor.

Good to know the situation is getting easier with systems you've mentioned.
