#Webloc, a global #geolocation #surveillance system developed by #Cobwebs Technologies and now sold by #Penlink, monitors hundreds of millions of people using data from #consumerapps and #digitaladvertising. The system, sold as an add-on to the Tangles intelligence system, provides access to location data from up to 500 million mobile devices. https://citizenlab.ca/research/analysis-of-penlinks-ad-based-geolocation-surveillance-tech/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Key Findings
• #Webloc is a global #geolocation #surveillance system that monitors hundreds of millions of people based on data purchased from consumer apps and digital advertising. It was developed by Cobwebs Technologies and is now sold by its successor #Penlink.
• In collaboration with the European investigative #journalism platform #VSquare, we reveal that Hungarian domestic #intelligence has been using Webloc since at least 2022 and continues to use it as of today. Webloc customers also include the national police in El Salvador.
• U.S. customers include #ICE, the U.S. #military, #Texas Department of Public Safety, #DHS West #Virginia, #NYC district attorneys, and several #police departments in #LosAngeles, #Dallas, #Baltimore, #Tucson, #Durham and in smaller cities and counties like City of Elk Grove and Pinal County.
• Based on the responses to 96 #freedom of information requests we conclude that governments in #Europe and the U.K. are highly nontransparent about their potential use of ad-based surveillance.
• Cobwebs Technologies has links to the #spyware vendor #Quadream through Cobwebs Technologies founder Omri #Timianker, who now oversees the international operations of Penlink.
• Webloc is sold as an add-on product to the social #media and #web intelligence #system Tangles. Based on technical #analysis and other sources we show that Tangles and other products developed by #Cobwebs Technologies are used in many countries across the globe.
• We briefly investigate another Cobwebs product named #Trapdoor that appears to help trick victims into revealing information. Our analysis leads us to believe that Trapdoor can help facilitate the #deployment of #malware on devices.

Feeling a bit tired today. A bit slow, a touch methodical.

Chilled dew lit up the spiderwebs though, and I spotted both a birds nest fungi and an actual bird's nest! Nourishing discoveries, both.

Cheers friends.

Halloween horror and entangled wildlife

"There’s been carnage in the suburbs, as Australians once again embrace a tradition of hanging plastic spider webs to celebrate Halloween.... A distressed kookaburra “gave up” on life after becoming entangled, while a world away in an outback town, a honeyeater was discovered hanging from a tree by a string of fluorescent orange web."

"The Tucson Police Department has deployed a controversial AI-powered surveillance tool that is also being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to scour social media, track locations and much more, according to documents obtained by the Arizona Mirror.

In August 2023, the Tucson Police Department signed a 28-month contract with Cobwebs Technologies for its “Tangles Open-Source Intelligence” software. The police department then sent a request to the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to get reimbursed from the state’s Border Security Fund.

In the reimbursement document, which the Electronic Frontier Foundation received in response to a public records request and provided to the Mirror, TPD requested the state reimburse it $277,500.23 for the purchase and installation of the software."

Another early morning ruck. #rucking #walking #hiking #mentalhealth #keepmoving #cobwebs

The other day when I finally got around to cleaning the computer out, and literally the cobwebs, I wondered to myself wtf spider is the one that always makes webs inside the case and is never seen. I think I might have found the subject. I just saw it crawling along but after taking the photos I noticed there was a random array of the fine webs on another loop of cable above this that look like what was inside.

Longest morning walk yet 😊
I'm still finding my feet 👣 after surgery, really wanted to make it to the nature reserve and take some photos but it wasn't to be today 😭. Hopefully I can build up the distance and return to work soon 🤞

@Schubertsworld agreed Israel has software that spies on your Facebook , Instagram and WhatsApp which can extract personal details like last location. They also sell it to US law enforcement. 😐
