Het is een bijna niet te bevatten cijfer: iedere dag komen er 10.000 kwaadaardige Android apps online. Dat is elke 8 seconden een geïnfecteerde app. En voor alle iPhone-bezitters die zich nu veilig wanen: spyware richt zich vooral op iOS-gebruikers omdat Android daar beter tegen beschermd is. Het zijn slechts twee voorbeelden van de lange lijst van gevaren waar smartphonegebruikers dagelijks aan blootgesteld worden. Van phishing via SMS tot Quishing (phishing via QR-codes) en van malafide apps tot stalkerware – de dreiging komt uit verschillende hoeken. Omdat we onze smartphone inmiddels voor veel (zo niet alle) zaken in ons dagelijks leven gebruiken, is het niet vreemd dat hackers zich steeds meer op dat device richten.Het goede nieuws is dat je als gebruiker zelf al behoorlijk wat (eenvoudige) maatregelen kan nemen om beter beveiligd te zijn. En ook de ontwikkelaars van smartphone-software doen er alles aan om hun software zo veilig mogelijk te houden en brengen regelmatig updates uit. Maar dan moet je die update wel installeren (dat is alvast een eerste tip om problemen te voorkomen). In deze aflevering geeft Security Evangelist Eddy Willems nog meer tips om je smartphone zo goed mogelijk te beveiligen. Daarnaast gaat hij in op de laatste ontwikkelingen op het gebied van smartphonebeveiliging, bijvoorbeeld over de consequenties die de EU's Digital Markets Act heeft voor de iOS App Store. Apple kan door deze nieuwe wetgeving namelijk niet meer zo strikt als voorheen controleren welke software geïnstalleerd kan worden op een Apple device.

The language of a data breach, no matter what company gets hit, is largely the same. There's the stolen data—be it email addresses, credit card numbers, or even medical records. There are the users—unsuspecting, everyday people who, through no fault of their own, mistakenly put their trust into a company, platform, or service to keep their information safe. And there are, of course, the criminals. Some operate in groups. Some act alone. Some steal data as a means of extortion. Others steal it as a point of pride. All of them, it appears, take something that isn't theirs. But what happens if a cybercriminal takes something that may have already been stolen? In late June, a mobile app that can, without consent, pry into text messages, monitor call logs, and track GPS location history, warned its users that its services had been hacked. Email addresses, telephone numbers, and the content of messages were swiped, but how they were originally collected requires scrutiny. That's because the app itself, called LetMeSpy, is advertised as a parental and employer monitoring app, to be installed on the devices of other people that LetMeSpy users want to track. Want to read your child's text messages? LetMeSpy says it can help. Want to see where they are? LetMeSpy says it can do that, too. What about employers who are interested in the vague idea of "control and safety" of their business? Look no further than LetMeSpy, of course. While LetMeSpy's website tells users that "phone control without your knowledge and consent may be illegal in your country," (it is in the US and many, many others) the app also claims that it can hide itself from view from the person being tracked. And that feature, in particular, is one of the more tell-tale signs of "stalkerware." Stalkerware is a term used by the cybersecurity industry to describe mobile apps, primarily on Android, that can access a device's text messages, photos, videos, call records, and GPS locations without the device owner knowing about said surveillance. These types of apps can also automatically record every phone call made and received by a device, turn off a device's WiFi, and take control of the device's camera and microphone to snap photos or record audio—all without the victim knowing that their phone has been compromised. Stalkerware poses a serious threat—particularly to survivors of domestic abuse—and Malwarebytes has defended users against these types of apps for years. But the hacking of an app with similar functionality raises questions. Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with the hacktivist and security blogger maia arson crimew about the data that was revealed in LetMeSpy's hack, the almost-clumsy efforts by developers to make and market these apps online, and whether this hack—and others in the past—are "good." "I'm the person on the podcast who can say 'We should hack things,' because I don't work for Malwarebytes. But the thing is, I don't think there really is any other way to get info in this industry."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...

There are an estimated 20 – 30 billion “smart” internet of things (IoT) devices currently used in the world. Most of them are listening devices, meaning everything heard within the vicinity of the device is sent to cloud systems, analyzed, and actions are taken. This number is projected to increase to 75 – 100 billion by 2025. This data and results of artificial analysis (AI) using the words and conversations of people, and sounds, in the vicinity of the device are sent to numerous, sometimes thousands, of other third parties who then perform their own data AI and take even more actions. In most cases profiles about the individuals are made using the IoT data and AI results that are used for making many assumptions about, then taking activities impacting, the associated individuals. Targeted marketing. Loan rates and approvals. Health determinations. Deciding who is a good or bad parent. Identifying pregnancies. The list is unlimited. Even real-life activities described in science fiction, such as determining those who, in the future, are likely to commit crimes, likely to get a disease, or likely to have some other significant impact. These projections are also sent to numerous entities. Those can include law enforcement, government agencies, home owners associations, political campaigns, marketers (of course!), and many others. Even ransomware gangs and other criminals are using these digital profiles to target their victims. Wait, it gets worse! Around 10% - 25% of AI results are incorrect. And when considering people of color, this number increases, due to continuing problems with bias in AI. That translates to 2 – 7.5 billion current devices sending data about those in the vicinity of the devices, who then are having erroneous profiles made about them. And, possibly actions are being taken that will harm them in some way as a result.

There are an estimated 20 – 30 billion “smart” internet of things (IoT) devices currently used in the world. Most of them are listening devices, meaning everything heard within the vicinity of the device is sent to cloud systems, analyzed, and actions are taken. This number is projected to increase to 75 – 100 billion by 2025. This data and results of artificial analysis (AI) using the words and conversations of people, and sounds, in the vicinity of the device are sent to numerous, sometimes thousands, of other third parties who then perform their own data AI and take even more actions. In most cases profiles about the individuals are made using the IoT data and AI results that are used for making many assumptions about, then taking activities impacting, the associated individuals. Targeted marketing. Loan rates and approvals. Health determinations. Deciding who is a good or bad parent. Identifying pregnancies. The list is unlimited. Even real-life activities described in science fiction, such as determining those who, in the future, are likely to commit crimes, likely to get a disease, or likely to have some other significant impact. These projections are also sent to numerous entities. Those can include law enforcement, government agencies, home owners associations, political campaigns, marketers (of course!), and many others. Even ransomware gangs and other criminals are using these digital profiles to target their victims. Wait, it gets worse! Around 10% - 25% of AI results are incorrect. And when considering people of color, this number increases, due to continuing problems with bias in AI. That translates to 2 – 7.5 billion current devices sending data about those in the vicinity of the devices, who then are having erroneous profiles made about them. And, possibly actions are being taken that will harm them in some way as a result.

Episode 255 of the Transatlantic Cable kicks off with discussions around stalkerware, in particular a piece of software that's been found leaking photos and other personal data on its website. From there, the team discuss a story around the US government tapping travel companies in order to track suspects. As we move on, discussions get a tad more ethereal, shall we say. First up is talk around how it might be possible (in the next 10 years or so) to digitally replicate yourself online – as to why you'd want to do this is anybody's guess. To wrap up, the team discuss a recent (potentially massive) story about a Google engineer who was recently put on paid leave from the company as he believes one of its AI programs has become sentient.   If that's whet your appetite for more stories like this, be sure to subscribe!

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.

Stalkerware can monitor all of your device activity. Martijn Grooten, Coordinator The Coalition Against Stalkerware talks us through what to do if you're being cyberstalked.Stalkerware is software that is installed by abusers and predators on a victim's device without their consent. Stalkerware can monitor your emails, texts, social media posts, phone conversations and browsing history. Unfortunately, the solution may not be as simple as deleting the app, if you can even find it. But there are ways to protect yourself.Conversation highlights:What stalkerware is and doesWhether or not stalkerware is legalHow stalkers install it on devicesWhy you might not want to delete it immediatelySteps you can take online and IRL to protect yourselfWhere and how to report if you are in an abusive relationship and need help________________________________GuestMartijn GrootenOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/martijngrooten/________________________________HostsLimor KessemOn ITSPmagazine  

What role does technology play in facilitating intimate partner abuse? What role might the security industry have in identifying or even stopping it? Martijn Grooten and Lodrina Cherne join the The Hacker Mind podcast to discuss their Black Hat USA 2021 presentation. They talk about how software and IoT companies can avoid becoming the next Black Mirror episode and share resources that can help survivors (and those who want to help them) deal with the technology issues that can be associated with technologically facilitated abuse. 

"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.

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
