FAQ: IT Privacy and Security Weekly Update (Week Ending December 17th, 2024) 1. What is the main takeaway from the recent US Telecom breach? The breach linked to Chinese hackers highlights the dangers of government backdoors in encryption systems. The 1994 CALEA law, intended to assist law enforcement, created vulnerabilities exploited in this incident. Experts emphasize that backdoors weaken security for everyone and make systems susceptible to both good and bad actors. 2. What security concerns arose with UnitedHealthcare's Optum AI chatbot? Optum's AI chatbot, used internally for managing health insurance claims, was left publicly accessible without a password. Although it didn't contain sensitive health data, its exposure raises concerns about the responsible management of AI, particularly given UnitedHealthcare's alleged use of AI to deny patient claims. 3. Despite improvements, why should users still be cautious with Microsoft's Recall feature? While Microsoft's Recall screen capture tool now includes encryption and sensitive information filtering, tests reveal inconsistencies in its performance. It struggles to identify private data in non-standard formats or situations, potentially leading to unintended exposure of sensitive details. 4. What is the significance of Meta's recent €251 million fine by the EU? The fine stems from a 2018 security breach exposing data of millions of EU users. It underscores the EU's strong enforcement of the GDPR and emphasizes the importance of companies prioritizing data protection. For users, it serves as a reminder that their personal information may not always be secure. 5. How is the US-China trade conflict impacting the Ukraine war effort? China is limiting sales of drone components critical to Ukraine's defense as part of the escalating trade conflict with the US. This move is expected to expand to broader export restrictions, hindering Ukraine's access to vital drone technology. 6. Why is the EU investing in its own satellite constellation, IRIS²? The EU aims to reduce reliance on non-European networks like Starlink by developing IRIS². This sovereign satellite constellation will provide secure internet access across Europe, enhancing strategic autonomy and fostering public-private collaboration in the space sector. 7. What benefits will Let's Encrypt's new six-day certificates offer? The shift to shorter certificate lifespans significantly reduces security risks associated with compromised keys. While this means issuing more certificates, Let's Encrypt's automated systems will ensure a smooth transition for users, resulting in a safer and more secure internet experience. 8. How is United Airlines using Apple technology to improve its baggage handling? United Airlines is integrating Apple's "Share Item Location" feature into its mobile app. Passengers can now share real-time locations of AirTags attached to their luggage, enabling United's customer service team to track and retrieve misplaced baggage more efficiently.
Chinese hacker group Salt Typhoon has carried out one of the largest telecommunications breaches ever against the US. Former FBI agent Holly Hubert tells us more.
This Day in Legal History: Boston Tea PartyOn this day in 1773, a turning point in American colonial history unfolded in Boston Harbor: the Boston Tea Party. A group of American colonists, members of the secretive resistance group known as the Sons of Liberty, disguised themselves as Mohawk Native Americans and boarded three ships of the British East India Company. Under the cover of night, they dumped 342 chests of tea into the icy waters of the harbor. This protest was a defiant response to what the colonists viewed as oppressive British taxation policies, most notably the Tea Act.It is worth noting here that in one of the nation's most definitive acts of rebellion, the participants deliberately disguised themselves as Native Americans, a minority group already marginalized and subjected to colonial violence. This choice not only symbolized a rejection of British rule but also served as a strategic scapegoating mechanism—if the protest failed or was met with severe repercussions, blame could potentially be shifted onto an already vulnerable population. This act underscores a troubling dynamic: even in a moment of defiance against tyranny, the colonists perpetuated patterns of exploitation and misrepresentation, using Native identity as a convenient shield for their own rebellious actions.The Tea Act of 1773 had been designed to prop up the struggling East India Company by allowing it to sell tea directly to the colonies, bypassing colonial merchants. While the tea itself was cheaper, the act maintained a tax on tea under the Townshend Acts, reaffirming Britain's right to tax the colonies without their consent—a principle the colonists vehemently opposed as "taxation without representation."The Boston Tea Party galvanized both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, Parliament responded with a series of punitive measures known as the Coercive Acts, or as the colonists called them, the Intolerable Acts. These acts included:* The Boston Port Act, which closed Boston Harbor to all shipping until restitution was made for the destroyed tea.* Measures strengthening British authority in Massachusetts, effectively curtailing self-governance.* The Quartering Act, forcing colonists to house British soldiers.For the colonists, the Boston Tea Party symbolized both resistance and unity. While not all supported the destruction of property, the event rallied support for the growing revolutionary movement. In time, this protest—and the severe response it provoked—would become a turning point, pushing the colonies closer to open rebellion and eventually independence.The Boston Tea Party remains a symbol of resistance to tyranny and an enduring moment in the history of legal and political dissent. It underscored the central conflict between the colonies and Britain: the issue of representation and the rights of subjects under the law, a conflict that would culminate in the American Revolution just two years later.Fourth Circuit Judge James Wynn Jr. has reversed his decision to take senior status, effectively rescinding his semi-retirement and denying President-elect Donald Trump the chance to fill his seat. Wynn, an Obama appointee, initially announced his intention to step down contingent upon the confirmation of his successor, Ryan Park, whose nomination was later withdrawn due to a lack of Senate support under a bipartisan agreement. Wynn's move follows similar reversals by two district court judges and has sparked criticism from Republican lawmakers, who allege the judges are politicizing the judicial retirement process to maintain Democratic-appointed seats. Ethical concerns have also been raised, with conservative groups filing misconduct complaints, claiming that reversing retirement decisions based on election outcomes could violate judicial ethics codes. Legally, there is no explicit prohibition against withdrawing retirement plans, but such actions are rare and can draw scrutiny if perceived as undermining the impartiality and integrity of the judiciary.Of course, one might rightly wonder why conservatives would mind not having an opportunity to fill a vacant seat if they intended to fill it with an impartial appointee. Judge Wynn Reverses Retirement Plans, Denies Trump Vacancy (2)ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to former President Donald Trump's presidential library to settle a lawsuit over statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos during a March interview with Rep. Nancy Mace. The lawsuit, filed in March in Florida, alleged that Stephanopoulos falsely stated Trump was found liable for rape in the civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll, with malice and disregard for the truth. As part of the settlement, ABC News will also publish a clarification by Sunday retracting the statements made during the interview. Both parties have agreed to dismiss the case, according to court filings.For clarity, Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. In May 2023, a jury in New York determined that Trump sexually abused Carroll during an encounter in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s and later defamed her by publicly calling her allegations a "hoax" and making disparaging remarks about her character.The jury did not find Trump liable for rape, as defined under New York law, but awarded Carroll $5 million in damages—$2 million for the sexual abuse claim and $3 million for defamation. This distinction is important because the claim of rape under the law involves specific criteria that the jury did not believe were met, even though they concluded that Trump had engaged in other non-consensual sexual conduct.Put simply, if you were to state “Donald Trump was found liable for rape and is a rapist,” that would be incorrect – what you would want to make clear is that he was found civilly liable for sexual abuse. ABC to pay $15 million to Trump library to settle lawsuit, court documents show | ReutersSenator Ron Wyden's Secure American Communications Act seeks to mandate the FCC to establish binding cybersecurity regulations for U.S. telecommunications providers, addressing vulnerabilities exposed by the Salt Typhoon hack, a Chinese state-sponsored cyberattack targeting U.S. communications networks. This attack reportedly compromised call records, live conversations, and personal communications of high-ranking officials, including President-elect Donald Trump.The proposed bill requires telecom carriers to implement robust security measures, conduct annual vulnerability testing, and undergo independent audits, with results and compliance certifications submitted to the FCC. The legislation also seeks to address the FCC's longstanding failure to enforce a 1994 federal law mandating telecom providers secure systems from unauthorized interceptions.Wyden's initiative is part of a broader strategy to bolster communications security, including proposed legislation for encrypted communications software and restricting the export of Americans' data to adversarial nations. The draft emphasizes the need to protect Americans' privacy, reduce reliance on insecure proprietary software, and counter advanced persistent threats like those seen in the Salt Typhoon breach. Consumer and privacy advocacy groups have endorsed the bill, calling it a critical step toward securing U.S. telecommunications infrastructure against foreign espionage.Wyden Releases Draft Legislation to Secure U.S. Phone Networks Following Salt Typhoon Hack This is a public episode.

In this eye-opening episode of Exploit Brokers, your host Lauro dives deep into the recent cyberattacks that have compromised major U.S. telecommunications networks. Chinese state-sponsored hackers, known as Salt Typhoon, have exploited a 30-year-old backdoor mandated by U.S. law, targeting giants like AT&T, Lumen (formerly CenturyLink), and Verizon. Drawing inspiration from Friedrich Nietzsche's quote: "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." We explore how attempts to control and monitor can sometimes backfire, creating vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit.

A broad cross section of the energy industry has been in battle with the Federal Communications Commission over a band of airwaves, called spectrum, that tech and telecom companies gained the right to operate their mass-market wireless devices on last year. Because this spectrum is finite, it is allocated by the federal government, with the FCC managing commercial spectrum licenses. But the energy sector has argued that the FCC doesn't consider criticality as it's doling out those airwaves. And this has created a situation in which power, oil and gas companies contend that the FCC has taken actions that could harm their ability to bolster grid and pipeline reliability. Senior editor Jasmin Melvin spoke with American Public Power Association CEO Joy Ditto about the implications of an FCC order that was adopted last year despite vocal opposition from almost every major power and gas trade group and pushback from both the Department of Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Stick around after the interview for Starr Spencer with the Market Minute, a look at near-term oil market drivers.

This is despite reports last week of Russia's deepening efforts to interfere with American politics. For example, the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology released a report saying that between 2015 and 2017, accounts on social media that were linked to Russian propagandists, tried to influence policies that would undermine U.S. efforts to sell natural gas in Europe where Russia has considerable market share. Also, Reddit reported that thousands shared Russian propaganda on its site, prompting demands for more answers from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Tumblr. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is also said to be pursuing a case against Russians who conducted cyberattacks against Democrats during the 2016 election. These charges would be in addition to the ones Mueller has already brought against Russians accused of spreading propaganda on social media, according to NBC News' Ken Dilanian. But despite the absence of specific directives from the White House to U.S. Cyber Command, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats claimed before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that the White House is taking a “whole government approach” under which the president has tasked the 17 agencies Mr. Coats oversees with addressing the Russian cyber threat. John Bowden at the Hill reported that Russians also collected Americans' personal data from social media platforms during the 2016 campaign. On Monday top Democrats including Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein wrote a letter to President Trump urging him to extradite the 13 Russian nationals FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted last month for allegedly using social media to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that the extradition would never happen. Ninth Circuit will hear consolidated net neutrality appeal The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in San Francisco, will hear the multidistrict litigation initiated by 22 state attorneys general to appeal the Federal Communications Commission's decision to repeal the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict litigation chose the Ninth circuit at random. Trump blocks Broadcom acquisition of Qualcomm President Trump has blocked Singapore tech giant Broadcom's acquisition of Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. At $117 billion, the merger of the two chipmakers would have been the biggest tech deal in history. The Verge reports that Broadcom is in the process of moving its headquarters to the U.S. by April 3rd. Twitter cracks down on ‘Tweetdeckers Twitter purged several accounts for “tweetdecking”, a violation of Twitter's spam policy in which users mass tweet each other's tweets using platforms like Tweetdeck. Some of the accounts that were suspended had millions of followers. A new MIT study also released last week found that fake news travels some 6 times faster on Twitter than the truth. White House holds video game violence meeting Harper Neidig at the Hill reported on the White House's meeting with video game industry representatives. The president convened the behind-closed-doors meeting to discuss the role of video games in promoting mass shootings. In attendance were representatives from the Parents Television Council, Entertainment Software Association, as well as executives from game makers Rockstar and ZeniMax. The Verge reported that the meeting was largely unproductive and Activision announced the release of its latest ‘Call of Duty' installment on the same day the White House meeting took place. FBI paid Geek Squad employees to inform on Child Pornography Laurel Wamsley at NPR reported that the FBI paid informants at Best Buy's computer repair service unit Geek Squad to flag child pornography found on their customers' computers.The Electronic Frontier Foundation sued the FBI last year about these searches and the new documents illustrate more about the nature of the relationship between the FBI and Geek Squad. FBI Agent Tracey Riley testified in a Jefferson County Kentucky Circuit Court last week confirming that that FBI agents paid Geek Squad workers in a Best Buy store in Kentucky when they found child pornography. FCC Proposes $1 billion for Caribbean hurricane recovery efforts FCC Chairman Ajit Pai proposed over $1 billion in funding to aid in the recovery of communications networks in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Sixty-four million would go immediately towards restoring networks. The rest, or $954 million, would go towards longer-term projects to enhance broadband networks in the Caribbean. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Congressional Black Caucus pushes tech on lobbying diversity The Congressional Black Caucus wrote a letter to the Internet Association, CTIA, NCTA and US Telecom urging them to hire and retain more black lobbyists given African-Americans' widespread use of mobile devices. White House joins push for internet sales tax The White House is joining in states' push for the Supreme Court to overturn a 1992 precedent, Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, that held that many online retailers don't have to add sales tax to the prices their customers pay. Thirty-five states support overturning the decision. Online retailers who oppose doing so claim that it would be too onerous to collect taxes from fifty different states. Jess Bravin reports for the Wall Street Journal. Number of Americans affected by Equifax breach keeps growing Equifax's interim Chief Executive Paulino do Rego Barros Jr. announced on Thursday that an additional 2.4 million consumers were affected by their massive data breach last year. It brings the total up to 147.9 million. Brian Fung reports in the Washington Post. House reauthorizes the FCC The House voted to reauthorize the Federal Communications Commission with legislation that seeks to develop 5G networks and invest funds for the spectrum incentive auction. If the bill passes Congress, it will be the first time since 1990 that Congress has reauthorized the Commission. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Amazon offering 54 percent discount to Medicaid recipients Amazon announced last week that, for Medicaid recipients only, it would cut the monthly Prime subscription down to $5.99 per month. This is $7.00 less than the standard $12.99 fee. The move is seen as an effort by Amazon to attract Walmart customers. MIT study finds Uber & Lyft drivers earn less than minimum wage A new MIT study found that Uber and Lyft drivers earn less on average that minimum wage workers.
