#Business: former Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz started a company with the man behind the infamous Pegasus spyware, Shalev Hulio.

The Israeli entrepreneur Shalev Hulio gained notoriety for designing Pegasus, a spyware that has been used by governments to hack journalists and dissidents. Today, he is selling an AI cyber security tool to European states and corporations.

"Follow the Money" found that at least a dozen employees at Dream Security had worked for Hulio’s former spyware company NSO and other Israeli spyware firms.

#Microsoft retente sa chance avec sa fonction #Recall, cette fois pour de bon

L’histoire de Recall est parsemée d’embuches. Après l'avoir présentée en juin 2024, Microsoft a dû revoir rapidement sa copie, tant la levée de boucliers et les critiques ont été massives. Au terme de nombreux mois de travaux, l’éditeur semble cependant prêt à retenter le coup. La fonction est en cours de déploiement dans les préversions de #Windows 11.

In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11.

I am sure you are all thrilled with the idea of a screenshot being taken of your screen every 3 seconds, right?

"A coalition of governments has published a list of legitimate-looking Android apps that were actually spyware and were used to target civil society that may oppose China’s state interests.

On Tuesday, the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre, or NCSC, which is part of intelligence agency GCHQ, along with government agencies from Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and the United States, published separate advisories on two families of spyware, known as BadBazaar and Moonshine.

These two spywares hid inside legitimate-looking Android apps, acting essentially as “Trojan” malware, with surveillance capabilities such as the ability to access the phone’s cameras, microphone, chats, photos, and location data, the NCSC wrote in a press release on Wednesday.

BadBazaar and Moonshine, which have been previously analyzed by cybersecurity firms like Lookout, Trend Micro, and Volexity, as well as the digital rights nonprofit Citizen Lab, were used to target Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Taiwanese communities, as well as civil society groups, according to the NCSC.

Uyghurs are a Muslim-minority group largely in China that has for years faced detention, surveillance, and discrimination from the Chinese government, and thus has frequently been the target of hacking campaigns."

"Now, an exhibit published in the court document shows exactly in what countries 1,223 specific victims were located when they were targeted with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.

The country breakdown is a rare insight into which NSO Group customers may be more active, and where their victims and targets are located.

The countries with the most victims of this campaign are Mexico, with 456 individuals; India, with 100; Bahrain with 82; Morocco, with 69; Pakistan, with 58; Indonesia, with 54; and Israel, with 51, according to a chart titled “Victim Country Count,” that WhatsApp submitted as part of the case.

There are also victims in Western countries like Spain (21 victims), the Netherlands (11), Hungary (8), France (7), United Kingdom (2), and one victim in the United States."
