How AI could make it harder for governments to use hacking tools
AI is proving effective at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. Some say this will make it harder for governments to use hacking tools and spyware and could reignite calls to backdoor devices.

I really think this could be huge. Both sides of it. The decline of our ability to do law enforcement, and the increase of accessibility of all communications to any sufficiently rich bad actor (including semi-beloved countries transiently run by autocrats.)

Oh, look! A treasure trove of #backdoors in x86 CPUs. 😂 Who knew our trusty silicon brains had secret passages ripe for exploration? Well, apparently the geniuses at #GitHub were too busy perfecting their "Copilot" to notice! 🙄🔍

#PHK has long been arguing in favour of #backdoors in encryption for nation-state to enact justice. according to #PHK, "tech bros" are enabling crime by advicating privacy.because it can sometimes look a bit icky and authoritarian to argue in favour of state-surveillance, #PHK keeps using this #SunTzu proverb to make this upside-down argument that if we advocate privacy then we'll just get even more surveillance.
he is this pretending to be a better privacy advocate while arguing for backdoored encryption:
»We could have designed our protocols to be minimally compatible with “a nation of laws,”«his belief that the law is right is statist and also naive, because states have unjust laws and often imprison people for having arbotion or being queer or opposing genocide.

Studie: #EU vernachlässigt #Router bei #digitalerSouveränität
https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000328594/studie-eu-vernachlaessigt-router-bei-digitaler-souveraenitaet?ref=rssFakt ist, dass gerade bei Produkten aus den #USA nicht nur seit Snowden massiv viele Probleme durch #Backdoors, #Sicherheitslücken, #Datendiebstahl, ... bekannt geworden sind.
Bei asiatischen Produkten habe ich das kaum bis nie wahrgenommen.
Weshalb setzt die EU dann ausgerechnet auf US-Hersteller? 🤷
Im Gegenteil: Wir müssten die US-Geräte loswerden und durch Lösungen aus Asien ersetzen, solange wir weiterhin nix selbst zustandebringen!
Riecht nach erfolgreichen US-Lobby-Maßnahmen bei EU-Politikern. 😞

In this important paper, the amazing work done by Dimitri (and coauthors) shows that it is possible to integrate #fuzzing into traditional CI setups, to successfully detect backdoors sneakily inserted into public code commits. #opensource #supplychain #security
Open access preprint upcoming.
In the meantime, you can read our previous work on « ROSA: Finding #Backdoors with Fuzzing » https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.08544 , which this new result builds upon.

Some day Civil Society must grapple with whether platforms can differentiate markets on the basis of delivering Privacy & Security features
I blame DRM: the artificial market segmentation of DVDs being “region locked” led to much “free market” backlash from civil society; but now we have:
- Signal ignoring interoperability & threatening to exit the EU because of ChatControl
- Apple withdrawing ADP from the UK because of “TCN” backdoor demands
- Apple withdrawing Siri AI from the EU because of “interoperability” demands that backdoor *everything*
…yet somehow the latter is “bad” and the former two are “good”? Can we please have some consistency?

TechSpot: Signal, DuckDuckGo, and NordVPN threaten to exit Canada if metadata surveillance law passes. “The latest version of Canada’s Bill C-22 would require digital services such as internet service providers, messaging platforms, email providers, and potentially hardware companies to retain up to one year of user metadata. In addition, tech companies would have to implement mechanisms that […]

Dieses #TrumpT1 wird niemals ein #Android Update zu Gesicht bekommen. Sollte es denn überhaupt jeder bekommen. Es würde mich ja auch nicht wundern, wenn das voll gesteckt ist mit #Backdoors für das #FBI und die #CIA.
