Podcast appearances and mentions of hal martin

On this edition of Parallax Views, legendary journalist James Bamford, known for his books The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets that lifted the veil of secrecy around the National Security Agency (NSA) as well as his critical exploration of the Bush-era Iraq War/War on Terror A Pretext for War, joins us to discuss his latest book Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence. For those interested in the subject of spycraft and it's implications/consequences this is a wide-ranging and comprehensive conversation that is worth a listen. James and I delve into such subjects as the leak of U.S. cyberweapons by an entity known as The Shadow Brokers (TSB) and how it nearly had apocalyptic consequences, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israeli spying operations in the United States, the stealing of massive amounts of classified materials by former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor Hal Martin, Hollywood movie producer Arnon Milchan and Israeli nuclear smuggling, Russiagate and the Maria Butina affair, and, perhaps most explosively, the portions of Bamford's book dealing with alleged collusion between Israel's Netanyahu government and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election (read more about this specifically in Bamford's The Nation article "The Trump Campaign's Collusion With Israel").

In this episode, I bring you my interview with Rev Racing's Rajah Caruth prior to making his ARCA Menards Series East debut at New Smyrna earlier this month. Also, I discuss about Ben Rhodes' interest in running the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Ty Gibbs' keeping himself composed thanks to spotter Hal Martin and crew chief Chris Gayle, and TRD President David Wilson's importance of keeping young drivers in the Toyota brand. Finally, Cole Custer describes the significant changes on how the car adapts at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Hope you enjoy this jammed pack episode of "Behind the Exploratory Lenses."

Today, I interview Frank Blake, who as CEO brought Home Depot through a massive data breach. Frank is a former co-clerk of mine; a former deputy secretary of energy; and the current host of Crazy Good Turns, a podcast about people who have found remarkable, even crazy, ways to help others. In addition to his insights on what it takes to lead an organization, Frank offers his views on how technology can transform nonprofit charitable initiatives. Along the way, he displays his characteristic sense of humor, especially about himself. In the News Roundup, I ask Matthew Heiman if Google could have had a worse week in Washington. First Peter Thiel raised the question of whether it's treasonous for the company to work on AI with Chinese scientists, not the U.S. Defense Department, and then Richard Clarke, hardly a conservative, says he agrees with the criticism. Inevitably, President Trump weighed in with a Thiel-supporting tweet. Meanwhile, on the Hill, Google's VP says the company has “terminated” Project Dragonfly, an effort to build a search engine that the Chinese government would approve. But that doesn't prevent conservatives from lambasting the company for bias against conservatives and an unfair subsidy in the form of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The only good news for Google is that, despite all the thunder, no lightning has yet struck. Or so we thought for about five minutes, at which time Gus Hurwitz noted that Google is likely to face multimillion-dollar fines in a Federal Trade Commission investigation of child Internet privacy violations, not to mention a rule-making designed to increase the probability of future fines. Speaking of which, European lightning struck Amazon this week in the form of new competition law scrutiny. Gus offers skepticism about the EU's theory, over my counter-skepticism. Nick Weaver is astonished at the way Julian Assange managed to turn the Ecuadorian embassy into a fist-fighting, feces-smearing, election-meddling command post. Nick also predicts that Kazakhstan will lose its war with Silicon Valley browser makers over a man-in-the-middle certificate the Kazakh government is forcing on its citizens in order to monitor their Internet browsing.  And in short hits, Gus questions whether $650 million is a harsh settlement of Equifax's data breach liability; Nick closes the books on NSA hoarder Hal Martin's 9-year prison sentence; and Nick explains the latest doxing of an intelligence agency—this time a contractor for the Russian FSB.   Download the 273rd Episode (mp3).

Another ransomware victim pays up. Privilege escalation comes to ransomware. Vendor impersonation scams hit cities, and government impersonation scams hit citizens: be wary of both. Former NSA contractor Hal Martin will be sentenced later this month, with suspected connections with the ShadowBrokers still unresolved. An exploit supply chain is described. The Silence gang is suspected in Bangladeshi bank heists. And a bad message can brick a phone. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS on privacy concerns with a shared bar patron database. Guest is Derek E. Weeks from Sonotype on supply chain security.

In today's News Roundup, Klon Kitchen adds to the North Korean Embassy invasion by an unknown group. Turns out some of the participants fled to the U.S. and lawyered up, but the real tipoff about attribution is that they've given some of the data they stole to the FBI. That rules out CIA involvement right there. Nick Weaver talks about Hal Martin pleading guilty to unlawfully retaining massive amounts of classified NSA hacking data. It's looking more and more as though Martin was just a packrat, making his sentence of nine years in prison about right. But as Nick points out, that leaves unexplained how the Russians got hold of so much NSA data themselves. Paul Hughes explains the seamy Europolitics behind the new foreign investment regulations that will take effect this month. Nick explains the deeply troubling compromise of update certs at ASUS and the company's equally troubling response. I ask why the only agency with clear authority over an incident with important national security implications is the FTC. Nick and I comment on the Federal Trade Commission's pending investigation of the privacy practices of seven Internet service providers. Speaking of sensitive data practices, Klon talks about the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States' belated recognition that maybe the Chinese government shouldn't have access to the most intimate desires of a portion of the U.S. LGBTQ community. I try to explain the difference between Tik Tok and Yik Yak and mostly fail. Meanwhile, in splinternet news, the EU Parliament has approved the controversial Copyright Directive. A bunch of MEPs, soon to be running for reelection, claim they meant to vote against it, really, but somehow ended up voting for it. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is suing Facebook for violating the Fair Housing Act. I ask listeners for help in finding guests who can talk about whether it's a good idea to bar ad targeting that lets companies look for more customers like the ones they already have, even if their customers already skew toward particular genders and ethnicities. Finally, Nick and I break down Gavin de Becker's claim that the real killer in the Bezos sexting flap was Saudi Arabia. Plenty of smoke there, but the lack of a reference to any forensic evidence raises doubts about de Becker's version of events.

Nate Jones, David Kris and I kick off 2019 with a roundup of the month of news since we took our Christmas break. First, we break down the utterly predictable but undismissable Silicon Valley claim that the administration's new export control strategy will hurt the emerging AI industry. Then we draw on our guests' expertise in counterintelligence prosecutions to review the APT10 indictment – and the claim by Jack Goldsmith and Robert Williams that the strategy is a failure. We conclude that it isn't a magic bullet, but that's not quite the same as a failure. I tease my plan to introduce two dozen more or less unthinkable retaliatory responses the U.S. could deploy if and when it decides to get more serious about deterring adversarial cyber operations. We quickly cover three new hacks that once looked as though they might be government sponsored. Now it looks as though two were less strategic than that. The denial of service attack on newspaper printing may have been a profit-motivated ransomware attack, and the guy who doxxed the German political establishment may have been a lone hacker (hopefully not one weighing 400 pounds or we'll never hear the end of it). We quickly review the bidding on the U.S.-China “quantum arms race,” which may be a bit less critical than the press suggests. David and Nate also review the mixed bag of rulings on three motions to suppress in Hal Martin's NSA theft case, which just gets weirder and weirder. David and I are in surprising agreement (along with the judge) that the FBI overreached in using handcuffs, a flashbang and a SWAT team to conduct “noncustodial” questioning of Martin. Today's forecast: Windy with a high probability of litigation as Los Angeles sues The Weather Company for collecting and sharing location information in its apps. We suspect that, in claiming a lack of adequate disclosure about location collection, Los Angeles is relying on the ancient legal maxim, “Damned if you do and damned if you don't.” In other litigation news, Illinois's biometric privacy law continues to encounter judicial skepticism. But the Illinois state courts, unburdened by federal standing law, may yet give teeth to this seriously dumb law as Rosenbach v. Six Flags lives on in the Illinois Supreme Court. In Quick Hits, I am intrigued by the idea that a clever generative adversarial AI “cheated” at a mapping task. In fact, the lesson is both less exciting and more troubling: If you don't understand how your AI is accomplishing the task you've set for it, you need to expect some rude surprises. Despite all the talk of stasis and crisis in Washington, Congress is still passing modestly useful legislation on cyber issues. Nate describes the SECURE Technology Act, which sets vulnerability disclosure policy and calls for bug bounties at DHS. And, finally, I recommend a fascinating and deeply ambivalating report on the many ways third-party sellers game Amazon's Marketplace rules.   Download the 245th Episode (mp3).   You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed!   As always, The Cyberlaw Podcast is open to feedback.

In today’s podcast, we hear that US newspapers sustained a major cyberattack—possibly ransomware—over the weekend that disrupted printing. The attack is said to have originated overseas, but attribution so far is preliminary, murky, and circumstantial. Home security video system is found to have hard-coded credentials. Changes in US Defense leadership. An American is arrested in Mosow on espionage charges. And alleged NSA leaker Hal Martin wins one and loses two in court. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS on whether remotely wiping a mobile device could be considered destruction of evidence. Guest is Steve Durbin from the ISF on using a human-centered approach to building security teams.

All of Washington is mad at Silicon Valley these days, as our news roundup reveals. Democrats and the media have moved on from blaming Hillary Clinton's loss on Vladimir Putin; now they're blaming Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. Gus Hurwitz and I have doubts about the claims of illegality, but I reprise my frequent critique of privacy laws: They are uniquely likely to be enforced against those who annoy governing elites (because they're so vague and disconnected from objectionable conduct that they can be enforced against almost anyone). Alan Cohn describes the many regulatory agencies now feeling emboldened to take a whack at cryptocurrencies. He's hopeful that only bad actors will actually feel the blow. I lay out the remarkably aggressive and novel enforcement philosophy behind CFIUS's rejection of the Broadcom-Qualcomm deal—and the steadily advancing congressional effort to regulate Silicon Valley's Chinese connections more closely. That effort has featured some remarkably harsh political attacks on tech giants like IBM and General Electric. Is all this hate for techies good or bad for the effort to re-impose net neutrality through the courts? The states? Stephanie Roy maps the terrain, which turns out to be every bit as muddled as you thought the last time you read about it. Need another reason to hate technology? How about this: It's soon going to kill someone. I explain the latest scary reports from Saudi Arabia's industrial control system—and America's. Pressed for time, we do quick hits on stories that deserved more but got crowded out: Why you won't go wrong betting that privacy zealots hate cybersecurity. Trouble in AMD's chipsets raises backdoor and supply chain worries. Treasury sanctions the usual Russians for election meddling. Hal Martin's dumb argument for making mass theft of classified documents harder (“Geez, who can keep track of a single document when you're stealing terabytes?”) is rejected. And for those who wonder why the right is starting to hate Big Tech as much as the left, here's one week's worth of stories from Silicon Valley that got heavy attention from conservative sites: Twitter suspends comedian Steven Crowder for a video in which an intern crashed an LGBTQ meeting in SXSW claiming to identify as a computer. YouTube follows suit. Yet somehow Louis Farrakhan keeps both his Twitter account and its coveted blue check while tweeting crap like this: “the FBI has been the worst enemy of Black advancement. The Jews have control over those agencies of government.” At the same time that it's broadcasting Farrakhan, Twitter seems to be blocking much of the Drudge Report. And Western Journal (WJ) says Facebook's new algorithm for “giving a boost to quality news” reduced lefty site traffic by 2 percent and righty site traffic by 14 percent. As an example, comparing two New York tabloids with very different politics, WJ says the change boosted Facebook's traffic to the lefty New York Daily News by 24 percent and cut the righty New York Post's traffic by 11 percent. (Similar claims were made by another conservative site using a different methodology. Finally, our interview is with Pete Chronis, Turner's Chief Information Security Officer and author of a new book, The Cyber Conundrum. Pete lays out his vision for a cybersecurity moonshot, and the two of us explore particular cybersecurity remedies that make up the effort. We take detours to explore the vulnerabilities equities process, bot in the U.S. and in China. We also touch on the unwise purist stand being taken by IETF on TLS 1.3, which seems determined to offer internet users what might be called “Privacy and Insecurity—By Design.” (And to bring this post full circle, if you were wondering why ordinary people are getting sick of dancing to the tune of Silicon Valley engineers, the IETF's stiff-necked and counterproductive position on security for corporate network users would be a good place to start.)

In today's podcast, we hear that tensions between Britain and Russia remain high, as the UK fears a cyberattack. US power utilities are also on alert to an ongoing Russian cyber campaign. Despite a claimed DDoS attack, President Putin is re-elected in Russia. Facebook under fire for Cambridge Analytica data incident. More political bots in Twitter. YouTube tries content moderation. FTC takes on an alt-coin Ponzi scheme. SEC has "dozens" of ICO investigations in progress. Notes on the Hal Martin alleged NSA-hoarder case. Malek Ben Salem from Accenture Labs with tips on cryptography deployment. Guest is Paul Brigner from the Security and Software Engineering Research Center (S2ERC) at Georgetown University, discussing their research on Virtual Browsers. 

In today's podcast, we hear that CoinHive was installed via a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket. Unintentional password collection. Threat and risk trends for 2018. Avalanche phisher king rearrested in Kiev. Huawei says it's being picked on. Apple makes nice with Beijing. Industry notes—controlling interests and an ICS security Series B round. Reality Winner wants her confession suppressed. Hal Martin's packrat defense may have received an unexpected boost. Johannes Ullrich from SANS and the Internet Stormcast podcast, on hacked third-party cables. Guest is Terry Dunlap from Refirm Labs on firmware vulnerabilities. And could alien signals be alien hacks? 

While the U.S. was transfixed by posturing over the Trump presidency, China has been building the future. Chances are you'll find one part of that future–social credit scoring–both appalling in principle and irresistible in practice. That at least is the lesson I draw from our interview of Mara Hvistendahl, National Fellow at New America and author of the definitive article on the allure, defects and mechanics of China's emerging social credit system. In the news roundup, Nick Weaver dives deep on the Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities while I try to draw policy and litigation implications from the debacle. TL;DR -this is bad, but the class actions will settle for pennies. Oh, and xkcd has all you need to know. I note that U.S. Customs and Border Protection under Trump has imposed new limitations on border searches of electronic devices. So naturally the press is all “Trump has stepped up border searches aggressively.” No good deed unpunished, as they say. Maury Shenk explains President Emmanuel Macron's latest plans to regulate cyberspace in the name of fighting Russian electoral interference and fake news. The Germans, meanwhile, have begun implementing their plan to fight hate speech on the internet. Predictably, it looks as though hate speech is winning. In the litigation outrage of the month, a company called Keeper, a password manager developer, got caught distributing software with a security flaw. So they did what any security-conscious company would–they sued the website that publicized the flaw for libel. It's a crappy suit, and we should all hope they end up assessed with costs and fees. But the real question is this: Google found and disclosed the flaw, while Microsoft distributed Keeper to its users. When will they file as amici to say that no company with a mature security model files STFU libel suits against people who point out legitimate security problems? TL;DR–Keeper: Loser. Finally, Hal Martin pleads guilty to one of twenty-plus counts and takes a ten-year sentence. So far, so ordinary in the world of plea bargaining. But as Nick points out, this wasn't a bargain. Martin can still be tried and sentenced on all the other counts. And it effectively stipulates the maximum sentence for the one count he's pleading guilty to. There must be a strategy here, but we can't say for sure what it is.

In our 197th episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast, Stewart Baker, Maury Shenk, and Nick Weaver discuss: Spectre/Meltdown: What is the problem? How does it get addressed? What does this mean legally for CPU makers? And for the future of cybersecurity? Customs imposes new limits on border electronics searches and catches flak. No good deed goes unpunished. What the heck is President Macron thinking? Password storage company suffers security failure, sues ArsTechnica for libel. Hal Martin pleads guilty. Our guest interview is with Mara Hvistendahl, National Fellow at New America and a contributing correspondent for Science.

In today's podcast we follow the story of Meltdown and Spectre, which pose kernel-level security issues: speed was inadvertently purchased at the price of insecurity. Spectre affects most chips, not just those from Intel. Mitigations are on the way. Bogus security apps booted from Google Play. Be on the lookout for phony Android Uber apps. Iran's Internet crackdown continues. Michael Daly from Raytheon and David DuFour from Webroot share their views on Meltdown and Spectre. And former NSA contractor Hal Martin may plea to taking one classified document home with him. 

In our 150th episode of the Steptoe Cyberlaw Podcast, Stewart Baker, Alan Cohn, and Jennifer Quinn-Barabanov discuss: A federal judge currently in the spotlight for blocking President Donald Trump's travel ban executive order is now questioning the constitutionality of secrecy orders that accompany government surveillance demands; US District Court for the Western District of Washington Judge James Robart issued a 47-page opinion today allowing Microsoft to proceed with a lawsuit claiming a First Amendment violation when the government restricts internet providers from notifying subscribers about requests for their data; In coming down on smart-TV maker Vizio for tracking users' viewing habits without their consent, the Federal Trade Commission adopted broader definitions of "sensitive" information and consumer harm. But experts say not to expect a trend there, given the acting chairwoman's reservations about the settlement; The Trump Administration could soon begin asking foreigners coming to the United States — particularly from some Muslim-majority countries — to turn over their social media accounts and passwords, according to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly; The new volume of the Tallinn Manual — named Tallinn 2.0 is out. It explores the applicability of international law to cyber activity below the threshold of armed conflict. A global group of 19 experts, aided by input from governments and international organizations, prepared the manual over the course of four years; The cybersecurity Executive Order that President Donald Trump is expected to sign this week would kick off a far-reaching White House review of each federal agency's cybersecurity risks, according to an updated draft; Hal Martin indicted: The theft may go well beyond what is in the indictment; The No. 2 official at the NSA is not leaving because of Trump. Richard Ledgett, whose departure the agency confirmed Friday, said politics had nothing to do with it; Google has warned a number of prominent journalists that state-sponsored hackers are attempting to steal their passwords and break into their inboxes. Our guest interview is with Dominic Rochon, Deputy Chief of Policy and Commmunications at the Communications Security Establishment, and Patricia Kosseim, Senior General Counsel and Director General of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
