Podcasts about nso's pegasus

A report published last week by Access Now revealed that since 2019 nearly three dozen journalists, human rights officials and political activists in Jordan have had their phones infected with spyware. The documentation of the widespread use of NSO's Pegasus spyware in the Kingdom isn't just rattling civil society, but raising new questions about how to stop its proliferation.

Apple's Worldwide Developer Conferences launches on Monday, and we discuss what to expect.

For this update we start off with our feet solidly on the ground, buried under U.S. tax returns, before shaking it and finishing in outer space. We learn when people discover that you are using NSO's Pegasus spyware, you've got to go shopping for something even more secret. Elon Musk gives us an opportunity to work for him for free while Mandiant divines how North Korea is paying for its latest set of rockets. DarkTrace provides some sobering news about phishing that you should probably check out before you open any more emails, and then Western Digital backs up some malware and finds itself in the same trouble many of its users have already discovered. It's time to shake things up. This week's update branches off in more directions than a tree so why resist? Let's shake it.

We spend much of this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast talking about toxified technology – new tech that is being demonized for a variety of reasons. Exhibit One, of course, is “spyware,” essentially hacking tools that allow governments to access phones or computers otherwise closed to them, usually by end-to-end encryption. The Washington Post and the New York Times have led a campaign to turn NSO's Pegasus tool for hacking phones into radioactive waste. Jim Dempsey, though, reminds us that not too long ago, in defending end-to-end encryption, tech policy advocates insisted that the government did not need mandated access to encrypted phones because they could engage in self-help in the form of hacking. David Kris points out that, used with a warrant, there's nothing uniquely dangerous about hacking tools of this kind. I offer an explanation for why the public policy community and its Silicon Valley funders have changed their tune on the issue: having won the end-to-end encryption debate, they feel free to move on to the next anti-law-enforcement campaign. That campaign includes private lawsuits against NSO by companies like WhatsApp, whose lawsuit was briefly delayed by NSO's claim of sovereign immunity on behalf of the (unnamed) countries it builds its products for. That claim made it to the Supreme Court, David reports, where the U.S. government recently filed a brief that will almost certainly send NSO back to court without any sovereign immunity protection. Meanwhile, in France, Amesys and its executives are being prosecuted for facilitating the torture of Libyan citizens at the hands of the Muammar Qaddafi regime. Amesys evidently sold an earlier and less completely toxified technology—packet inspection tools—to Libya. The criminal case is pending. And in the U.S., a whole set of tech toxification campaigns are under way, aimed at Chinese products. This week, Jim notes, the Federal Communications Commission came to the end of a long road that began with jawboning in the 2000s and culminated in a flat ban on installing Chinese telecom gear in U.S. networks. On deck for China are DJI's drones, which several Senators see as a comparable national security threat that should be handled with a similar ban. Maury Shenk tells us that the British government is taking the first steps on a similar path, this time with a ban on some government uses of Chinese surveillance camera systems. Those measures do not always work, Maury tells us, pointing to a story that hints at trouble ahead for U.S. efforts to decouple Chinese from American artificial intelligence research and development.  Maury and I take a moment to debunk efforts to persuade readers that artificial intelligence (AI) is toxic because Silicon Valley will use it to take our jobs. AI code writing is not likely to graduate from facilitating coding any time soon, we agree. Whether AI can do more in human resources (HR) may be limited by a different toxification campaign—the largely phony claim that AI is full of bias. Amazon's effort to use AI in HR, I predict, will be sabotaged by this claim. The effort to avoid bias will almost certainly lead Amazon to build race and gender quotas into its engine. And in a few quick hits: I express doubt that Australia's “unleash the hounds” approach to ransomware actually has anything to do with one notorious ransomware actor's extortion site going down  Maury praises an MIT Technology Review piece that argues persuasively that China's social credit system is not quite as dystopian as it's been portrayed. I point out that, with Airbnb practicing guilt by association and PayPal taking your money for saying things PayPal doesn't like, Silicon Valley can brag that it's going to reach Full-Bore Dystopia well before China.  I cover the fourth review in three administrations of the dual-hat leadership of NSA and Cyber Command. No change is likely.  And we close with a downbeat assessment of Elon Musk's chances of withstanding the combined hostility of European and U.S. regulators, the press, and the left-wing tech-toxifiers in civil society. He is a talented guy, I argue, and with a three-year runway, he could succeed, but he does not have three years.

Troops and sanctions and accusations are coming thick and fast in Ukraine as we record the podcast. Michael Ellis draws on his past experience at the National Security Council (NSC) to guess how things are going at the White House, and we both speculate on whether the conflict will turn into a cyberwar that draws the United States in. Neither of us thinks so, though for different reasons. Meanwhile, Nick Weaver reports, the Justice Department is gearing up for a fight with cryptocurrency criminals. Nick thinks it couldn't happen to a nicer industry. Michael and I contrast the launching of this initiative with the slow death of the China initiative at the hands of a few botched prosecutions. Michael and I do a roundup of news (all bad) about face recognition. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman (ND IL) gets our prize for least persuasive first amendment analysis of the year in an opinion holding that collecting and disclosing public data about people (what their faces look like) can be punished with massive civil liability even if no damages have been shown. After all, the judge declares in an analysis that covers a full page and a half (double-spaced), the Illinois law imposing liability “does not restrict a particular viewpoint nor target public discussion of an entire topic.” But not to worry; the first amendment is bound to get a heavy workout in the next big face recognition lawsuit—the Texas Attorney General's effort to extract hundreds of billions of dollars from Facebook for similarly collecting the face of their users. My bet? This one will make it to the Supreme Court. Next, we review the IRS's travails in trying to use face recognition to verify taxpayers who want access to their returns. I urge everyone to read my latest op-ed in the Washington Post criticizing the Congressional critics of the effort. Finally, I mock the staff at Amnesty International who think that people who live in high-crime New York neighborhoods should be freed from the burden of being able to identify and jail street criminals using facial recognition. After all, if facial recognition were more equitably allocated, think of the opportunity to identify scofflaws who let their dogs poop on the sidewalk.  Nick and I dig into the pending collision between European law enforcement agencies and privacy zealots in Brussels who want to ban EU use of NSO's Pegasus surveillance tech. Meanwhile, in a rare bit of good news for Pegasus's creator, an Israeli investigation is now casting doubt on press reports of Pegasus abuse. Finally, Michael and I mull over the surprisingly belated but still troubling disclosures about just how opaque TikTok has made its methods of operation. Two administrations in a row have started out to do something about this sus app, and neither has delivered – for reasons that demonstrate the deepest flaws of both.

Ben Caspit hosts this week Anat Ben David, a specialist in communication and professor at the Open University of Israel. Talking about the internal-Israel Pegasus scandal, Ben David says that "cyber-attack tools like NSO's Pegasus software are in fact unconventional weapons. Their use deeply undermines a large number of human rights, and no state authority should be allowed to use them against its citizens in democratic regimes, or in any regimes for that matter." For her, what is most worrisome in this affair is the prevailing sentiment within Israeli society that the use of Pegasus by police should be condemned only if carried out without a prior court order. She believes that police should not be allowed to use these tools, which endanger democracies and violate human rights.

Israeli investigative journalist and New York Times writer, Ronen Bergman, joins Jason Greenblatt to discuss his recent article in the NY Times Magazine about the NSO's Pegasus software. The two discuss whether the safety it can provide is worth the harm it could cause. If it is too powerful a tool, and who should be able to access to it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Tech editor Ricky Ben-David and deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan join host Jessica Steinberg. Ben-David updates the latest news in the Israeli company NSO spyware saga, as FBI announces it purchased NSO's Pegasus spyware, but never used it. She reflects on the price hike brouhaha this week, as the Finance Ministry chided food industry companies for unnecessary planned price hikes, resulting in at least one of the companies, Osem, putting off its price hikes until after Passover. Ben-David also discusses why she chose to research and write about the overturning of the Cypriot conviction of the young British woman for lying about being gang raped by Israeli tourists. Borschel-Dan finishes up today's podcast with a look at two Israeli archaeological research findings, and why they're significant right now. Discussed articles include: FBI admits buying NSO's Pegasus hacking tool, says it never used it Finance, economy ministries warn major food companies against price hikes Osem delays price hikes by 3 months amid boycott calls Israeli study finds early humans knew to situate hearth in cave's optimal spot Scientists find oldest evidence of humans in Israel — a 1.5 million-year-old bone Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Mohamed Elmaazi, journalist and editor of the Interregnum to discuss a ruling from the UK High Court allowing Julian Assange to appeal US efforts to extradite and charge him for revealing crimes of the world's most powerful governments, the smear campaign against Julian Assange while he was provided refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy, how this persecution exposes the fraud that US claims about press freedoms are.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Adrienne Pine, retired Associate Professor of Anthropology at American University and co-editor of the book Asylum for Sale: Profit and Protest in the Migration Industry to discuss an attempted legislative coup against president-elect Xiomara Castro and the Libre Party, issues of corruption and greed among elected officials in the Libre Party that may have contributed to this disruption, and the victory of the Honduran people in defending Castro and the faithful Libre officials from a full takeover.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, the editor of TechforthePeople.org to discuss US law enforcement agencies ordering Whatsapp to help spy on Whatsapp accounts belonging to Chinese users, reports that Israeli police have used NSO's Pegasus program to spy on Israeli citizens and the program's testing on Palestinians and targets of other nationalities, and the IRS requiring the use of a new identification system that requires uploading a selfie and the security risks it poses.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ted Rall, award-winning editorial cartoonist and columnist, and author of the graphic novel, "The Stringer," to discuss the Biden administration's inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic and how it exposes the true priority of the administration and the interests of capital, the continually sliding poll numbers spelling doom for the Biden-Harris administration, and the wasting of the potential of the working class due to class exploitation.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Times of Israel founding editor David Horovitz and political and legal correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Jessica Steinberg. Horovitz and Keller-Lynn discuss the ongoing possibility of a Netanyahu plea deal being considered by attorney general Avichai Mandelblit. Keller-Lynn discusses that the possible plea deal is important for the government's coalition stability, while Horovitz makes the point that this is not an ordinary case, with the indictment of a serving prime minister who has since lost power and shouldn't be wrapped up in a behind-the-scenes negotiation. Horovitz and Keller-Lynn also take a look at the ongoing case of NSO's Pegasus spyware and the Israel Police. While the police have acknowledged using it, they claim they haven't used it in breach of the law. Keller-Lynn reports that a Knesset committee will be discussing the matter on Monday, given the suspicions that existing legislation isn't sufficient and the lack of oversight. Finally, for some good news, Horovitz recaps Pfizer CEO's prediction that world should be back to near-normal in a few months.
