Report: 267 million Facebook users IDs and phone numbers exposed online

A database containing more than 267 million Facebook user IDs, phone numbers, and names was left exposed on the web for anyone to access without a password or any other authentication.

Comparitech partnered with security researcher Bob Diachenko to uncover the Elasticsearch cluster. Diachenko believes the trove of data is most likely the result of an illegal scraping operation or Facebook API abuse by criminals in Vietnam, according to the evidence.

microG: Android without Google - Interview with the developer, please submit questions!

microG is a term that many of us have probably heard at some point. At least, if you have ever considered using your mobile phone without setting up Google, you will certainly stumble upon the term „microG“ sooner or later. What exactly microG is, how it works and why it was created, we want to find out together with you in this article and in the upcoming interview with its „creator“.
....(.....)
We look forward to your questions. Deadline ends on 31th of December!
We are happy to have the opportunity to get to know this ambitious project and its developer together with our readers. Most of the microG manuals are still in English and there are always questions from users who are stuck or don’t really understand what it’s all about or what possibilities microG offers.

Here is your opportunity to ask the developer of microG questions. Well, I have one question on my tongue: Who is behind microG?

Please send us your questions to the developer until December 31st. As always, we can’t accept any questions after that date.

Is It Too Late to Stop Amazon?

The brain-splitting moment happened about a week ago. A video (watermarked with the logo of a camera from Ring, an Amazon company) showing a man delivering an Amazon package, finding a box of snacks on a porch, then dancing went viral. My mind failed to find joy in the moment.

Think of the moving parts. There’s a hungry and dehydrated Amazon employee—or, more likely, an Amazon contractor—finding a slight reprieve from his grueling job only to see that moment turned into some weird viral ad. There’s a Ring security camera, made by Amazon, watching what this Amazon employee or anyone else in the neighborhood is doing and potentially sharing that video feed with the local police department. There’s the knowledge that Amazon and Ring have used police partnerships to bait potential package thieves in what could be described as a marketing campaign for a privately run state-sponsored surveillance effort.

Bringing Starchild Down to Earth: Soraka SDK

The White Ops Threat Intelligence team recently identified 100+ malicious apps, with more than 4.6 million downloads, performing ad fraud. All of the apps use a common code package White Ops has dubbed “Soraka” (com.android.sorakalibrary.*):

In addition to the Soraka code package, we also discovered, in some of the apps, a variant with similar functionality which we dubbed “Sogo” (com.android.sogolibrary.*):

The story of how surveillance capitalism is killing web.

👁 New York Times was able to track President Trump's movements by combining leaked location data with public information, showing the ease which which cell phone location data can be turned into a spying tool ❗️

➖Times Privacy Project got the data from anonymous whistleblowers concerned about this vulnerability and a lack of regulations ❗️Dataset of >50 billion location pings from the phones of >12 million people in this country. It was a random sample from 2016 and 2017, but it took only minutes, with assistance from publicly available information to deanonymize location data and track the whereabouts of President
➖NYT said result being tracking and identifying people as easy. And there is no regulation to stop the exchange of sych data between different parties and companies for profit❗️
➖“Tech companies are profiting by spying on Americans.. report is another alarming case for why we need to break up big tech, adopt serious privacy regulations and hold top executives of these companies personally responsible.” Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat running for president, told NYT
➖“Location tracking data of individuals can be used to facilitate reconnaissance, recruitment, social engineering, extortion and in worst-case scenarios, things like kidnapping and assassination,” warned a cybersecurity expert

💡The sources who provided the trove of location information to Times Opinion did so to press for regulation and increased scrutiny of the location data market. So far, Washington has done virtually nothing to address the threats, and location data companies have every reason to keep refining their tracking, sucking up more data and selling it to the highest bidders.

I compiled YalpStore with my dispensers and new anonymous login method on demand of some fellow mates.
Will send the binaries here, in case anyone needs it.

Notes:
0. Only Anonymous login is fixed.
1. Its signed by my keystore, so need to do a clean install.
2. I have no plans to submit it on FDroid or anywhere else.
3. I have pushed the changes on my github, anyone interested can build.
4. Also if you have contacts with the legendary Yalp dev, let me know will talk to him and do a PR if he agrees to merge.

Source : https://github.com/whyorean/YalpStore


#yalp #aurora

#Changelog : 0.47

1. Allow clearText traffic on Android N and above.

All my dispensers are using http, so this change would allow using them.
