How to foil NSA sabotage: use a dead man's switch | Technology The more we learn about the breadth and depth of the NSA and GCHQ's programmes of spying on the general public, the more alarming it all becomes. The most recent stories about the deliberate sabotage of security technology are the full stop at the end of a sentence that started on 8 August, when the founder of Lavabit (the privacy oriented email provider used by whistleblower Edward Snowden) abruptly shut down, with its founder, Ladar Levison, obliquely implying that he'd been ordered to secretly subvert his own system to compromise his users' privacy. It doesn't really matter if you trust the "good" spies of America and the UK not to abuse their powers (though even the NSA now admits to routine abuse), you should still be wary of deliberately weakened security. It is laughable to suppose that the back doors that the NSA has secretly inserted into common technologies will only be exploited by the NSA. One important check against the NSA's war on security is transparency.

privacy tools - encryption against global mass surveillance □ Le malware CryptoPHP infecterait plus de 23000 sites dont 1000 en France CryptoPHP est un malware que la société de sécurité Fox-IT vient dévoiler dans un livre blanc. Ce malware qui s'en prend aux sites web sous CMS Drupal, Joomla! et WordPress a pour originalité de ne pas profiter d'une vulnérabilité de ceux-ci pour s'y installer. Après tout, pourquoi se fatiguer, quand il est plus simple de demander aux webmaster de l'installer eux-mêmes sur leurs propres sites ? C'est toute l'idée de CryptoPHP qui vérole des applications payantes, thèmes ou plugins, mais dans ce cas proposées en téléchargement gratuit. Une fois installé, CryptoPHP, dont il existerait déjà au moins 16 variantes, est là et bien là. CryptoPHP est très discret, c'est pourquoi, selon Fox-IT, de nombreux sites sont infectés, sans même le soupçonnerne serait-ce qu'un peu. Une simple petite ligne de code PHP dans le plugin ou le thème vérolé : charge ceci, d'où le nom de CryptoPHP donné par Fox-IT à ce malware : Ces scripts peuvent être téléchargés sur Git Hub.

Facebook privacy and kids: Don’t post photos of your kids online Photo by Hemera/Thinkstock I vividly remember the Facebook post. It was my friend’s 5-year-old daughter “Kate,” (a pseudonym) standing outside of her house in a bright yellow bikini, the street address clearly visible behind her on the front door. A caption read “Leaving for our annual Labor Day weekend at the beach,” and beneath it were more than 50 likes and comments from friends—including many “friends” that Kate’s mom barely knew. The picture had been uploaded to a Facebook album, and there were 114 shots just of Kate: freshly cleaned and swaddled on the day of her birth … giving her Labradoodle a kiss … playing on a swing set. I completely understood her parents’ desire to capture Kate’s everyday moments, because early childhood is so ephemeral. Last week, Facebook updated its privacy policy again. Six thousand respondents to Slate’s survey show a clear trend. The problem is that Facebook is only one site. That poses some obvious challenges for Kate’s future self.

Protéger son site Internet des cyberattaques L’actualité récente a entrainé un accroissement significatif du nombre d’attaques informatiques visant des sites Internet français. La très grande majorité de ces attaques sont des défigurations de sites Internet* (ou défacement), ou des dénis de service* (DDoS) qui exploitent les failles de sécurité de sites vulnérables. L’ANSSI rappelle qu’il est possible de se prémunir de ces types d’attaques en appliquant les bonnes pratiques présentées dans les fiches qu’elles a préparées à cet effet disponibles ci-dessous : une fiche destinée à tout internaute et une fiche destinée aux administrateurs de site Internet. Enfin, l’application des recommandations du guide d’hygiène informatique et de la note sur la sécurisation des sites web est fortement recommandée. *Défiguration (defacement) : Résultat d’une activité malveillante visant à modifier l’apparence ou le contenu d’un serveur Internet.
