What are the limits of privacy when it comes to our online lives? If authorities are investigating a crime, should they be able to access private messages sent between two individuals? In this episode of Tech Tonic, John Thornhill interviews Eva Galperin, director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which campaigns for the right to digital privacy. After the detention of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov for failing to cooperate with French authorities, they discuss encryption technology and what sort of messaging data companies do share with governments.Want more?How France embraced Telegram's Pavel Durov – before turning on himPavel Durov, Telegram's self-mythologising founderHow Telegram chief Pavel Durov miscalculated on moderationEmmanuel Macron hits back at claims Telegram chief's arrest is politicalThe Durov case is not about free speechRead a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On August 24, at an airport just outside of Paris, a man named Pavel Durov was detained for questioning by French investigators. Just days later, the same man was charged in crimes related to the distribution of child pornography and illicit transactions, such as drug trafficking and fraud.Durov is the CEO and founder of the messaging and communications app Telegram. Though Durov holds citizenship in France and the United Arab Emirates—where Telegram is based—he was born and lived for many years in Russia, where he started his first social media company, Vkontakte. The Facebook-esque platform gained popularity in Russia, not just amongst users, but also the watchful eye of the government.Following a prolonged battle regarding the control of Vkontake—which included government demands to deliver user information and to shut down accounts that helped organize protests against Vladimir Putin in 2012—Durov eventually left the company and the country all together.But more than 10 years later, Durov is once again finding himself a person of interest for government affairs, facing several charges now in France where, while he is not in jail, he has been ordered to stay.After Durov's arrest, the X account for Telegram responded, saying:“Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act—its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving. Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe. It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of the platform.”But how true is that?In the United States, companies themselves, such as YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook often respond to violations of “copyright”—the protection that gets violated when a random user posts clips or full versions of movies, television shows, and music. And the same companies get involved when certain types of harassment, hate speech, and violent threats are posted on public channels for users to see.This work, called “content moderation,” is standard practice for many technology and social media platforms today, but there's a chance that Durov's arrest isn't related to content moderation at all. Instead, it may be related to the things that Telegram users say in private to one another over end-to-end encrypted chats.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Electronic Frontier Foundation Director of Cybersecurity Eva Galperin about Telegram, its features, and whether Durov's arrest is an escalation of content moderation gone wrong or the latest skirmish in government efforts to break end-to-end encryption.“Chances are that these are requests around content that Telegram can see, but if [the requests] touch end-to-end encrypted content, then I have to flip tables.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

Eva Galperin is director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and one of the leading voices against stalkerware and other technology used for non-consensual tracking of victims. She joins Debugger to discuss research she is conducting with Duke University on tracker gadgets, like AirTag or Tile devices, and how well software warns potential victims they're being watched.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind! Today, class is in session for Health Privacy 101 with Jordan Wrigley and Kirk Nahra. In May 2022, the leaked SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade shocked the nation. About a month later, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case officially overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Last year, we talked with EFF's Eva Galperin on the Tech Policy Grind about how technology could amplify surveillance on women's reproductive health in a Post-Dobbs world. Around the same time, The Federal Trade Commission, the White House, civil society, industry, and lots of other stakeholders got to thinking - what is the role of digital privacy and security in protecting women from being prosecuted by their state or local governments for receiving life-saving care? In this episode, we revisit that subject, under a broader lens. Reema sits down with Kirk Nahra, partner and co-chair of the privacy and cybersecurity practice at Wilmer Hale, a large international law firm, and Jordan Wrigley, a health privacy researcher at the Future of Privacy Forum, who is leading FPF's Health Privacy Working Group. Kirk and Jordan are some of the leading health data privacy experts in the country. We get into what the American legal landscape looks like for health privacy, some of the FTC's recent actions in this space, and more.

What is privacy in a Post-Roe world? TPG Host Reema Moussa chats with Eva Galperin on surveillance, data privacy, and digital liberties in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The online space for Russia's civil society has been slowly closing for nearly a decade, but after the invasion in Ukraine, governmental powers quickly seized control of internet freedoms—banning and blocking at will. What does this mean for the flow of information and the future of the internet both in Russia and internationally? Digital Detectives hosts Sharon Nelson and John Simek welcome Eva Galperin to discuss perspectives on the effects of censorship, Russia's ways and means of accomplishing its internet restrictions, and how some Russians still find ways to access independent news.  Eva Galperin is Electronic Frontier Foundation's director of cybersecurity.   Special thanks to our sponsors CaseFleet, Clio, and PInow.

In this episode, we highlight some of the hidden barriers to digital forensics professionals' ability to use their skills to help victims of stalking and domestic violence: how abuse dynamics keep victims from reporting to police, how police and courts can actually fuel the problem, and how emotionally difficult offering assistance can be. At the same time, though, the work can be deeply rewarding, and Eva offers a few resources for educating yourself on how these dynamics work.

In episode 16, Lucy Kind interviews Eva Galperin, the director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an international non-profit digital rights group that promotes online civil liberties. Eva leads EFF's Threat Lab, where one of her focuses includes eradicating "stalkerware" - spyware used for domestic abuse. Eva explains how private companies are profiting by selling malware that allows abusers to track everything a victim does on their device.  She breaks down how these virtual risks lead to real-world harms, and why it's so important to design technology for the most marginalized members of society.

This week my guest is futurist Eva Galperin who is the director of cybersecurity at the electronic frontier foundation, which might be argued to be the world's leading non-profit when it comes to defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation. As you'll hear her explain, Eva specializes in issues around vulnerable populations, such as journalists, activists, and people who are victims of domestic abuse. In this episode we not only explore the privacy and security issues facing such groups as well as the wider population, but we also dig into questions about regulations, the issues created by our blindness to cultural differences, unique digital IDs, online voting, data ownership, and more.

With the number of devices infected with stalkerware - monitoring apps used for cyberstalking through the victim's smartphone or computer - rising by over 60% in a year, many are worried about the consequences. Ivana Davidovic speaks with Maria who, even after managing to leave her abusive husband of 25 years, was still not free from his clutches. Eva Galperin, who founded the global Coalition Against Stalkerware, explains how more training of law enforcement agencies is needed because many victims feel they are being gaslighted when they ask for help. She is also fighting for greater inclusion of stalkeware apps among anti-virus software manufacturers. In October this year, Google pulled several stalkerware adverts for apps that encouraged prospective users to spy on their partners' phone. One of those apps, SpyFone, was banned by the US Federal Trade Commission in September for harvesting and sharing data about people's movements and activities via a hidden device hack. Despite these positive moves, stalkeware apps and advice on how to use them are still easily accessible online. Xena Olsen tells how she became a cybersecurity expert after being a victim of stalkerware by her then fiance - and she offers tips on what to do if you are worried for your own safety. And Rosanna Bellini, from the Clinic to End Tech Abuse, says how sometimes their clients are advised not to immediately remove cyberstalking apps from their phones as that could increase the risk of physical violence.

"Full access to a person's phone is the next best thing to full access to a person's mind," says cybersecurity expert Eva Galperin. In an urgent talk, she describes the emerging danger of stalkerware -- software designed to spy on someone by gaining access to their devices without their knowledge -- and calls on antivirus companies to recognize these programs as malicious in order to discourage abusers and protect victims. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stalkerware is an exceptionally terrifying tool that allows someone without permission to creep & access one's mind... and it's easy to get and use. Changemaker Eva Galperin is trying to stop it.1 out of 10 Americans have admitted to using stalkerware to spy on their partner or ex. The number is likely higher than 1 out of 10. It's common to get a hold of and use it without being technical at all. Eva recognized the lack of support for victims, and decided it's time to change it. So, she joined forces with others to form the Coalition Against Stalkerware.Learn more about the organization: https://stopstalkerware.org______________________________GuestEva GalperinOn Twitter

If you've ever had the feeling that someone is eavesdropping on your calls, reading your messages or emails, and even knows where you've been going, you just might be right. Abusers often utilize stalkerware to control and manipulate their targets. Being educated on what it is, how it got there, how to clean it off your devices, and where to go for help can make a world of difference. Today's guest is Eva Galperin. Eva is the Director of Cybersecurity at The Electronic Frontier Foundation. She has worked in security and IT in Silicon Valley and earned degrees in Political Science and International Relations. She has applied the combination of her poli-sci and technical backgrounds to everything including organizing EFF's TOR relay challenge to writing privacy and security training manuals. Those include Surveillance Self-Defense and The Digital First Aid Kit. Show Notes: [1:21] - On her way to law school, Eva began working for Electronic Frontier Foundation and decided not to leave. She has worked in nearly every department. [2:22] - Having worked in tech since a teen, Eva had a lot of experience with stalkerware. But she shares the reason why she was driven to research it further. [4:02] - Through her own research and trials, Eva found that anti-virus apps did not protect against stalkerware. [5:21] - Eva explains how abusers could react to stalkerware being removed from a device and leaves the decision up to the survivor on how and when to remove it. [6:30] - There are companies that are now paying more attention to stalkerware. Eva explains that this is a good thing, but also believes that it is because there has been an increase in the use of stalkerware. [7:24] - The most recent report of stalkerware being detected by antivirus programs indicates a range of 60-95% as compared to only 10% a few years ago. [8:33] - In cases of domestic abuse, an abuser has physical access to a device and can install stalkerware without the survivor even knowing. [10:10] - Spouses and partners having access to each other's devices and knowing passwords is very common in modern relationships. [11:22] - Eva recommends stalkerware detection apps for Android and Apple. [13:01] - Chris and Eva discuss Windows and Mac OS stalkerware. [14:32] - What is the difference between account compromise and device compromise? Eva says the more common problem is account compromise. [16:01] - Eva recommends different and long passwords for each account you have as well as having two factor authorization turned on. She explains how this works. [18:09] - Eva's advice for consumers is to meet them where they are.  [19:13] - You should go into your account settings and look for the page that lists devices and IP addresses that have logged into your account if you feel something is going on. [21:32] - Personal trackers that are meant for people to keep track of their belongings are essentially a gift to stalkers. [23:11] - Regarding personal trackers, Eva shares that she has gotten some pushback on the abuse of these tools. [24:32] - Software that allows you to do this without notifying the user so that they do not know that they are being watched is in and of itself abusive. [26:01] - It is sad to see when people who have been abused feel that the only way they can take back power is to abuse as well. [27:33] - Resetting to factory settings for most forms of device compromise is sufficient but you also need to change your account passwords and disable iCloud backups. [28:51] - Eva loves open source for personal use, but as a general rule she doesn't recommend it due to her security background. [29:52] - If your cameras are compromised, covering the camera is a viable security measure. Covering microphones is trickier. [30:43] - Chris and Eva discuss hackers hacking webcams, using blackmail photos, and sextortion emails. [33:01] - Sometimes the extortion emails can confuse people severely enough to believe the scam. [34:26] - Evan recommends the NNEDV and Operation Safe Escape for those looking for support.

Every few years, after the public learns about an ugly, online harassment campaign, a familiar response shoots forth: Change the way we talk to one another online, either by changing the law, or changing the rules for how we identify ourselves online. But these "solutions" could actually bring more problems, particularly for vulnerable communities. Today, we speak to Electronic Frontier Foundation's Director of Cybersecurity Eva Galperin about how removing online anonymity could harm the safety of domestic abuse survivors, and why one decades-old law protects everyone online, and not just Big Tech.

Our special guest today is Eva Galperin who is the Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Prior to 2007, when she came to work for EFF, Eva worked in security and IT in Silicon Valley and earned degrees in Political Science and International Relations from San Francisco State University (SFSU). Her work is primarily focused on providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world. To that end, she has applied the combination of her political science and technical background to everything from organizing EFF's Tor Relay Challenge, to writing privacy and security training materials (including Surveillance Self Defense and the Digital First Aid Kit), and publishing research on malware in Syria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan. When she is not collecting new and exotic malware, she practices aerial circus arts and learning new languages.EFF: https://www.eff.org/Security Education Companion: https://sec.eff.org/Coalition Against Stalkerware: https://stopstalkerware.org/Atlas of Surveillance: https://atlasofsurveillance.org/Eva Galperin is interviewed by Kendra Ash and John L.

"Kompletter Zugriff auf das Mobiltelefon einer Person ist vergleichbar mit komplettem Zugang zu den Gedanken einer Person" sagt die Cybersicherheitsexpertin Eva Galperin. In einem dringlichen Aufruf beschreibt sie die aufkommende Gefahr von Stalkerware -- Software, die darauf ausgerichtet is, Personen auszuspionieren, indem man Zugriff auf deren Geräte erhält, ohne deren Wissen -- Eva fordert von Antivirenprogramm-Hersteller, dass diese Programme als schädlich eingestuft werden, um Täter abzuschrecken und Opfer zu schützen.

« Un accès total au téléphone d'une personne est la chose la plus proche d'avoir accès à son esprit », affirme Eva Galperin, experte en cybersécurité. Elle décrit l'urgence de la situation face aux dangers émergents des logiciels espions, des logiciels conçus pour nous espionner en accédant à nos machines à notre insu. Elle implore les développeurs d'antivirus de reconnaître la menace de ces programmes pour décourager ceux qui en abusent et protéger les victimes.

"Acesso completo ao telefone de uma pessoa é o próximo passo para o acesso completo à mente de uma pessoa", diz a perita em cybersegurança, Eva Galperin. Em uma palestra urgente, ela descreve os crescentes perigos do "stalkerware": software criado para espionar alguém ao ganhar acesso a seus dispositivos sem o conhecimento da pessoa, e recorre a empresas de antivírus para reconhecer esses programas como maliciosos a fim de desencorajar agressores e proteger vítimas.

"Tener acceso completo al teléfono celular de una persona es lo más cercano a tener acceso completo a su mente", manifiesta la experta en seguridad informática Eva Galperin. En esta charla, Eva describe el peligro emergente que son los programas de vigilancia, diseñados para espiar a una persona accediendo a sus dispositivos sin su conocimiento. También insta a las empresas desarrolladoras de antivirus que reconozcan estos programas como maliciosos para disuadir a los abusadores y proteger a las víctimas.

Eva Galperin is leading the charge to save our civil liberties in cyberspace. On Part 2 of the Future of Privacy and Surveillance, Eva and Dick talk about privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world, including here in the United States. Eva seeks to take down an industry makes malicious software for monitoring the devices (and lives) of ordinary people. Stalkerware, or spouseware, are programs that can be covertly loaded onto phones and computers of unwitting victims by their abusive spouses, helicopter parents, or nosy employers. She is successfully lobbying the antivirus industry and lawmakers to crackdown on the industry, and recognize its oppressive nature. Eva and Dick also talk about the efforts of governments around the world that use similar tactics to monitor and oppress their own citizens. They discuss how increasingly sophisticated technologies like facial recognition and A.I. are currently unreliable, increasing the likelihood of government abuse of civil liberties.www.eff.org https://www.eff.org/about/staff/eva-galperinTwitter: @evacide

In recent years, an industry of stalkerware—including so-called spouseware—has grown. When malicious stalkerware is installed on devices, it is well hidden. It allows the spy ware's owner to spy on everything the victim is doing. According to Eva Galperin, researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, “Full access to someone's phone is essentially full access to someone's mind.” This spyware has serious repercussions for the right to privacy, and could pose severe risks to victims of domestic abuse.

In today's show I have a sobering discussion with the EFF's Eva Galperin about the rise of stalkerware (sometimes called "spouseware"). It's become all too easy for abusive, unscrupulous people to spy on their significant others, tracking their every move, monitoring all their communications. We'll talk about how our phones can be subverted and what measures you can take to prevent it. Eva also provides practical and prudent advice for people who suspect they may be victims of stalkerware. Eva Galperin is EFF's Director of Cybersecurity.

Fancy Bear, APT10, Lazarus Group, Charming Kitten. These are all the names given to government hacker groups.And if you pay any attention to cybersecurity news you heard about Russian hackers, Chinese hackers, and groups that are usually called APTs—government-sponsored hackers. This week we're talking with Eva Galperin, the director of cybersecurity with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Eva has been researching APTs for years, investigating these state hackers from all over every corner of the globe. Because countries everywhere are growing their cyber armies and there's no signs of that slowing down. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ELECTRONIC ABUSE AND INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE           Most of us are aware of the lack of privacy and possible criminal activity our myriad electronic devices can lead to. And many of us know about abusers using these computers and phones to stalk and harass victims. But did you know it’s not just computers and phones? Your Alexa, your Fitbit, your thermostat …all those and more can be used to further abuse and create havoc and threat in our lives.           Eva Galperin, Director of Cyber Security for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization dedicated to defending people against abusive threats in a digital world, has worked for years to fight illegal surveillance, and she shares stories and strategies we all should know.           From recording murders inadvertently, to tracking whereabouts and activities, these devices we rely on can be helpful and amazing, but also  dangerous, particularly in domestic violence situations.           Join us as Eva Galperin shares some warnings, but also some tools to help educate and protect us in a time when our lives can be open books to the person who holds the digital password. Airing for the first time Saturday, August 25, at 11 AM Pacific Time, and available thereafter through the archive at www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways

Eva Galperin, Maya Indira Ganesh Over the last year the world has witnessed a series of security breaches that have compromised massive repositories for personal information: the Equifax hack that compromised the should-be-secret social security numbers of over 140 million Americans; a breach of India's Aadhaar biometric ID database of  1.2 billion citizens; the hack of the South Korean ID database; the 2015 US Office of Personnel Management hack; the effects of WannaCry on the British National Health Service; of vulnerabilities in Estonia's ID chip card. And there is no guarantee there won't be more in the future. The breaches and hacks of these databases tend to be discussed in terms of implications for personal privacy, and cybersecurity since data is viewed as a commodity to be bought and sold. Many of these databases are in fact public assets. How does the notion of ‘critical infrastructure' scale beyond physical assets like bridges and roads or water supply systems? How do we rethink design, ownership, liability and security when large national databases are viewed as critical social and public infrastructure? As a national ID number is used to access a variety of services, we seek to show how this layer of ‘social infrastructure' creates challenges for a variety of industries, social and public systems. We will parse tensions - and competing interests - at different levels of the infrastructure stack. Panelists will map the technical, social and personal impacts of database compromise, and in doing so will look at the role of various stakeholders and response strategies, as well as address what governments and individuals can do to take preemptive security measures.  As these systems do not offer citizens a way to ‘opt-out', discussion will discuss philosophical notions of privacy and security, and try to rethink ethics and accountability in these contexts. The panel will also  assess the new challenges these large hacks have for digital security trainings and infosec best practices at the individual and organizational level given the increasingly asymmetrical power dynamics between citizens, states, corporations, and large digital artifacts like databases
