Por aquí dejo mi último podcast acerca de Spyware y el software pegasus. Que es un Spyware? Los spywares son softwares realizan diferentes funciones, como mostrar anuncios no solicitados, recopilar información privada, redirigir solicitudes de páginas e instalar marcadores de teléfono y también existe un virus espía en el que el aparato electrónico puede controlar el celular la persona denominada cracker segundo plano sin que el usuario se llegue a enterar de que tiene ese virus. Un programa espía típico se autoinstala en el sistema afectado de forma que se ejecuta cada vez que se pone en marcha el ordenador (utilizando CPU y memoria RAM, reduciendo la estabilidad del ordenador), y funciona todo el tiempo, controlando el uso que se hace de Internet y mostrando anuncios relacionados. Qué es Pegasus? Pegasus es un spyware instalado en dispositivos que ejecutan ciertas versiones de iOS (el sistema operativo móvil de Apple) y Android, desarrollado por la firma cibernética israelí, NSO. Descubierta en agosto de 2016 después de un intento fallido de instalarlo en un iPhone perteneciente a un activista de derechos humanos, una investigación reveló detalles sobre el software espía, sus capacidades y las vulnerabilidades de seguridad que explotó. Fue llamado el ataque de teléfono inteligente más "sofisticado" de la historia, y se convirtió en la primera vez en la historia del iPhone cuando se detectó un ataque remoto de jailbreak. Detalles del spyware No es necesario que el usuario haga clic en ningún enlace, Pegasus habilita secretamente un jailbreak explotando vulnerabilidades en el dispositivo y puede leer mensajes de texto, rastrear llamadas, recopilar contraseñas, rastrear la ubicación del teléfono,1​ así como recopilar información de aplicaciones que incluyen (entre otras) iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram y Skype.2​ Parche Apple lanzó la versión 9.3.5 de iOS para su línea de productos para teléfonos inteligentes iPhone en agosto de 2016. Russell Brandom, de The Verge, comentó que el programa de recompensas por errores de Apple, que recompensa a las personas que logran encontrar fallas en su software, tiene un máximo de pagos de $ 200,000, "solo una fracción de los millones que se gastan regularmente en ataques iOS en el mercado negro. Mientras que las compañías de software espía ven una compra de exploits como un pago único por años de acceso, la recompensa de Apple tiene que pagarse cada vez que aparece una nueva vulnerabilidad". Concluyó el artículo por escrito; "Es difícil decir cuánto daño podría haber sido causado si Mansoor hubiera hecho clic en el enlace del software espía... La esperanza es que, cuando el próximo investigador encuentre el próximo error, el pensamiento importe más que el dinero" FUENTES https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programa_esp%C3%ADa https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/infogonzalez/message

President Trump has given the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok a deadline to sell off its US operations, or else he will have it shut down in the country. Microsoft and Oracle have been rumoured to be interested. Russell Brandom of tech site The Verge tells Ed Butler that the extent of what's on offer is over-hyped. But Jason Davis, associate professor of entrepreneurship at Insead says a US-only version of the app would still have considerable merit. In any case, Sandra Wachter, associate professor at the Oxford Internet Institute, says the threat President Trump thinks TikTok represents won't go away simply by shaving off its US operations.

In this episode, which is a little longer than our typical episodes, we talk to Vickie Shannon Allen, a native Texan and a warehouse worker at an Amazon fulfillment center, where she sustained an injury on the job. Vickie’s struggle with Amazon to get the medical treatment she deserves is ongoing. As we discuss in the interview, it has been hell for her, and we are asking listeners to help us share her story and hold Amazon accountable. We talk with Vickie about her experience working for Amazon, but we talk about a lot more, too. We talk about growing up working class in Texas, about going to school hungry, and about the horrific, dehumanizing treatment she and her siblings got from their stepmother. We talk about falling in love for the first time, and we talk about heartbreak. We talk about working as a single mother and raising two boys. We talk about what it really means to fight for your future.   Additional links/info below...

Kerry Flynn of Mashable and Russell Brandom of The Verge discuss Dataminr.

Over the past couple years web security has become a staple of the nightly news. The stories usually hinge on government leaks, foreign hackers, or web encryption. There’s menacing subtext that practically everything put online is vulnerable to “cyber attacks.” Though one might wonder what steps are being taken to protect not just the government and giant corporations, but you, the individual. What keeps you safe when you stumble your way into a Wikipedia hole or click a strange link sent from a friend? To find out, I invited my colleague Russell Brandom to talk about web security, and particularly HTTPS. As Russell explains, while your information isn’t necessarily less vulnerable, websites themselves are becoming safer. This is a dense topic, but fortunately Russell brought a helpful metaphor. It involves pie. Subscribe to What's Tech on iTunes, listen on Spotify, or subscribe via RSS. And be sure to follow us on Twitter.

My entire body clenches when I hear the word doxxing. Each time I write something that, for whatever reason, upsets a corner of the internet, I wonder if my personal information — phone numbers, address, social security number, credit card information — will be made public, or doxxed. And if it is made public, then how will it be used? Even though our identities on the internet are more public than ever, we are still individually afforded a certain amount of privacy. Our passwords, our forum names, our Google habits: these are, for most of us, secret. And because they are secret, people on the internet can threaten their reveal as a form of harassment. That’s the sticky core of doxxing; the erasure of one’s sense of privacy, and with it, safety. This method of publishing personal information has become more mainstream, alongside the ubiquity of the internet. So, to spread awareness, I invited my colleague and security expert Russell Brandom to discuss the origins of doxxing, how it has evolved, and why people use doxxing today.

Will Bitcoin make me rich? That was my first question about Bitcoin when I heard the term years ago. I didn’t know a thing about cryptocurrency, or why or how a Bitcoin might be used, but it sounded like an internet gold rush. I never invested in Bitcoin, and that may have been the right decision. But sometimes I think of the life that could have been. This week, I invited my brilliant pal Russell Brandom to explain Bitcoin.
