Podcasts about Spyware

We are all vulnerable to digital surveillance, as there's little protection to prevent our phones from getting hacked. Mercenary spyware products like Pegasus are powerful and sophisticated, marketed to government clients around the world. Cybersecurity expert Ron Deibert tells IDEAS, "the latest versions can be implanted on anyone's device anywhere in the world and as we speak, there is literally no defence against it.” Deibert is the founder of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, a group of tech-savvy researchers who dig into the internet, looking for the bad actors in the marketplace for high-tech surveillance and disinformation. In his new book, Chasing Shadows, he shares notorious cases he and his colleagues have worked on and reveals the dark underworld of digital espionage and subversion.

With the throwback gratification of Failure's "Fantastic Planet" rolling throughout, the gearhead goons at the Garage Hour start out gritty with the bucket (or well-sorted trays) of backup bolts that every good geek has in the garadtch.  Note: if that pile of bolts (and rags, and parts, and tools) is getting dusty, you're not making enough - time to build, boys and girls.  There's also a look at the trannie nutjobs who are blowing up cars and dealerships, the politics of production (with perspectives from pinko China and politicized capitalism), and why race fans have very little interest in electric race cars (and still line up for vintage Trans Am, Thunderboats and NASCAR). Want more?  Miniaturized spyware in your USB cables from Tom's Hardware (and a look at when Western civilization figured out that SMALLER is more G-resistant), a retreat from cashless society in Europe, and the importance of protecting your data from the crazies, because they are what they do.

Military-grade spyware, once the province of shadowy intelligence outfits, is now being handed over to local police forces. As an Ontario resident, I find this deeply unsettling. These tools are powerful, precise, and built for a level of strategic nuance that most municipal sometimes even provincial police simply aren't equipped to handle. It's like handing a ten-year-old a scalpel and asking them to perform surgery. The intentions might be sincere, but the training, context, and oversight just aren't there. And that gap between tool and user is where things start to slip where privacy erodes, rights get sidelined, and the line between public safety and state overreach gets dangerously blurry. What Is Spyware and How Does It Work? At its core, spyware is software designed to secretly infiltrate and monitor digital devices usually without the knowledge or consent of the person being targeted. Once installed, it can track online activity, harvest sensitive information, and even take control of device functions like cameras and microphones. Military-grade spyware, like NSO Group's Pegasus or Paragon's Graphite, takes this to another level. These advanced tools can penetrate even the most secure devices, including phones protected by encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Signal. Some spyware even uses "zero-click" exploits meaning the target doesn't need to click a suspicious link for their device to be compromised. This isn't just like wiretapping a phone call. Spyware can reveal a person's entire digital life recording private conversations, tracking real-time locations, logging browsing histories, and accessing stored files. For police, it's revolutionary. But for the rest of us? It's a chilling reminder that nothing is truly private anymore. Why Are Local Police Using Spyware? So, why are local police turning to such extreme surveillance measures? The short answer: encryption. As more people use encrypted communication platforms, traditional surveillance methods like wiretapping are becoming less effective. Criminal organizations, human traffickers, and other bad actors know how to hide their tracks using secure apps, creating a major challenge for law enforcement. Spyware gives police a way around these barriers by directly accessing the suspect's device and collecting evidence that would otherwise be out of reach. And there's public pressure, too. With high-profile crimes making headlines, law enforcement is under intense pressure to deliver fast results. Spyware, with its ability to gather and analyze large amounts of information in real time, can speed up investigations and improve the odds of making an arrest. In Canada, local police forces are increasingly adopting advanced surveillance technologies to stay ahead of tech-savvy criminals. But as these tools become more common, there's a growing concern: Who's watching the watchers? Ontario Police and "Graphite" Spyware Controversy A recent example that's sparked public debate is Ontario police's use of Graphite spyware. This highly advanced tool can bypass encrypted communications and operate without leaving a trace, meaning police can monitor individuals without them ever knowing. Police officials claim they only use Graphite in the most serious cases. But here's the catch there's little public information about how often it's used or what safeguards are in place. Without transparency, it's impossible to know whether police are sticking to serious crimes or deploying these powerful tools for more routine investigations. Civil liberties advocates are especially worried that spyware could be turned against people who challenge authority - journalists, political activists, or marginalized communities. And it's not just happening in Ontario. Across the globe, police forces are quietly adopting military-grade spyware, often without public input or clear legal oversight. RCMP's Use of Spyware It's not just local police getting in on the action. In 2022, the...

In dieser Folge geht es wieder um Staaten, die ihre Bürger bespitzeln. Diesmal allerdings nicht durch Spyware (siehe Folge 25) sondern mittels spezieller Geräte, die möglichst viele Daten auch von gesperrten Telefonen extrahieren. Im Podcast ist Viktor Schlüter zu Gast, der bei Reporter ohne Grenzen das Digital Security Lab leitet. Er kennt sich bestens mit solchen Smartphone-Durchsuchungen aus, die immer wieder auch illegitim eingesetzt werden und sich beispielsweise gegen Journalisten richten. Zusammen mit Viktor sehen sich Christopher und Sylvester an, wie solche Durchsuchungen funktionieren, wer solche Geräte herstellt, wer sie einsetzt und wie man sich davor schützen kann. - Digital Security Lab von Reporter ohne Grenzen: https://www.reporter-ohne-grenzen.de/hilfe/digital-security-lab - Aktuelle Fallanalyse von Amnesty International: https://securitylab.amnesty.org/latest/2025/02/cellebrite-zero-day-exploit-used-to-target-phone-of-serbian-student-activist/ - Cellebrite UFEDs auf eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/305957265144 https://www.ebay.com/itm/204207137842

Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal and serious—my stalker story. For over a year, Timothy C. (we can share his full name soon if need be) has been physically stalking me, and his digital harassment goes back even further. Law enforcement is now involved, but I wanted to update you all in case anything happens to me—so there's no question about who did it. This episode isn't just about my experience; it's also about the reality of stalking, the dangers of obsession, and the importance of taking threats seriously. Stay aware, stay safe, and let's talk about it all, shall we?—https://noblegoldinvestments.com

It's become pretty easy to spot phishing scams: UPS orders you never made, banking alerts from companies you don't bank with, phone calls from unfamiliar area codes. But over the past decade, these scams – and the technology behind them – have become more sophisticated, invasive and sinister, largely due to the rise of something called ‘mercenary spyware.'The most potent version of this tech is Pegasus, a surveillance tool developed by an Israeli company called NSO Group. Once Pegasus infects your phone, it can see your texts, track your movement, and download your passwords – all without you realizing you'd been hacked.We know a lot of this because of Ron Deibert. Twenty years ago, he founded Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto that has helped expose some of the most high profile cases of cyber espionage around the world.Ron has a new book out called Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy, and he sat down with me to explain how spyware works, and what it means for our privacy – and our democracy.Note: We reached out to NSO Group about the claims made in this episode and they did not reply to our request for comment.Mentioned:“Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy,” by Ron Deibert“Meta's WhatsApp says spyware company Paragon targeted users in two dozen countries,” by Raphael Satter, ReutersFurther Reading:“The Autocrat in Your iPhone,” by Ron Deibert“A Comprehensive Analysis of Pegasus Spyware and Its Implications for Digital Privacy and Security,” Karwan Kareem“Stopping the Press: New York Times Journalist Targeted by Saudi-linked Pegasus Spyware Operator,” by Bill Marczak, Siena Anstis, Masashi Crete-Nishihata, John Scott-Railton, and Ron Deibert

One of the deadliest tools used against them is Pegasus—a powerful cyber-surveillance weapon that puts lives at risk.In this interview, I sit down with Laurent Richard, founder of Forbidden Stories and co-author of Pegasus. His team broke the story on Pegasus spyware and built a global network to safeguard journalists working on dangerous stories. Learn how Pegasus operates, the fight to protect freedom of the press, and how we can combat digital surveillance before it's too late.00:00 CyberSurveillance is a Military Weapon01:19 Forbidden Stories04:28 Global Spyware Threat05:17 How Forbidden Stories Broke The Pegasus Story15:40 The Danger of Intelligence Spyware22:59 Privacy is Essential for Democracy26:09 How to Begin Change29:55 CyberSurveillance Needs Regulation32:39 This is Where We Are34:47 Governments Have a Vested Interest in Spyware39:44 Hope Remains43:04 There is a Lot to Do47:37 The Safe Box Network52:20 ConclusionCyber surveillance is a military weapon wielded against civilians, actually putting human lives in danger.
