Facebook’s top secret ‘Project Ghostbusters’ spied on Snapchat, documents reveal
The operation, known internally as "Project Ghostbusters", was initiated by Mark Zuckerberg in 2016 after he became frustrated with the privacy measures of Snapchat.
The wiretapping tool involved the company’s Onavo Virtual Private Network (VPN), acquired by Facebook. Owning Onavo allowed Facebook to monitor rival social media apps by "intercepting and decrypting" network traffic sent between the apps and its servers.
Onavo engineers developed kits to carry out 'man-in-the-middle' monitoring that allowed them to "measure detailed in-app activity". This spying technique was later used on Amazon and YouTube.
The newly unsealed court documents come from a class action lawsuit in California taken up by consumers against Facebook’s parent company Meta.

Unpatchable Vulnerability in Apple MacBooks is Leaking Secret Encryption Keys
Apple MacBooks have been powered by in-house Apple silicon Arm-based M-series chips since 2020
A newly discovered vulnerability called as GoFetch flaw in Apple’s M1, M2, and M3 chips in MacBooks allows attackers to extract secret security keys from Macs, thus breaking encryption
GoFetch is a “microarchitectural side-channel attack” and affects a part of Apple’s chips called the Data Memory-dependent Prefetcher (DMP), which is used to speed up operations.
The flaw CANNOT be fixed as it relates to the actual hardware design of these chips.
Apple was notified of the flaw in December 2023 & it will need to make hardware changes to future M-series chips to fix the vulnerability.
Intel’s 13th generation Raptor Lake chips also have a DMP but “its activation criteria are more restrictive, making it robust to our attacks.”
