  1. #USA #NYC #MassSurveillance #GeoFencing #Patternz: "The company behind a global phone spy tool that is advertised as a capability for national security agencies also pitched the product as a solution for “riot detection.” Internal documents obtained by 404 Media specifically included heatmaps of New York City in the context of this capability.

    The documents provide more insight into what Patternz, the name of the tool and associated company, could be used for. There is no indication that New York or U.S. federal authorities have purchased or even received a demo of the tool, with the documents instead potentially being more aspirational. But they still show one of the use cases Patternz was at least envisioned for, and which could apply to other similar technologies using ad data as a mass surveillance tool.

    In one slide included in a slide deck presentation under the section “Use Cases,” Patternz is presented as a “riot detection” system. It then shows three different heat maps. All of them show areas of New York City, and especially Manhattan and Brooklyn. Large areas of the city are covered in blue, green, yellow, and red, appearing to indicate an increasing density of phones in certain areas. The slide says Patternz includes both historical and real time data."

  16. #Patternz and #Nuviad enable potentially hostile governments to track individuals by misusing ad bidding.

    In theory, the pair are separate firms, but in practice they appear joined at the hip.

    Tens of thousands of phone apps are unwittingly playing a part. National security agencies around the world can precisely target a person of interest, track their movements, watch their proximity to others and even push #malware to their devices.

    The CEO of both is Rafi Ton (pictured). In #SBBlogwatch, we unpick the supposedly sordid story. At @TechstrongGroup’s @SecurityBlvd: securityboulevard.com/2024/01/
