A Closer Look At Blackphone, The Android Smartphone That Simplifies Privacy

Ctrl Alt Del

Hi,
Today,we "discovered" and confirmed that photo snapshots of the Yahoo messaging were captured by them !

I guess the most important point that remain open and said by a truly security-aware techie is the fact that are issues that we know and issues that we are not allowed to know about them ! And even if we find out...who to believe now !??
What's next... !?

Copied / linked from here:

"While Charney is obviously sincere in his beliefs that Microsoft is on the side of the angels, others are less sure.
"The best Microsoft can say is that we are secure except for the vulnerabilities that we don't know about and the ones we are prohibited by law from telling you about," security expert and CTO of CO3 Bruce Schneier told The Register.
"This is the problem. Microsoft might be 100 per cent truthful about this, but they have no way of proving it. Because the NSA has poisoned the environment, we have no reason to believe them." ® "

Nothing new to see here. I had gigs of my neighbor's wife's msn camsex videos from sniffing their wifi.

You people need to assume that everything you send across the net is going to be logged and seen by someone you don't want to see it. There is no privacy on the internet, and there never really was.

Nothing personal here...but intercept and analyze this across the wire...

You felt that your wife is cheating on you,you had some feelings and doubts BUT you trusted her based on her words,smiles,attitude!
Then...you caught her in red,with her smile in other half's privacy zone !

That is the problem now...will you trust her anymore now that you have to live with her because ...dunno, your kids loves you as a family !??

Regards


PS
My Q is ...who is the wife,the neighbor,the other end ,the other(S):)

Had a look at the code. Something coding standards could have easily avoided. Ouch.

I have also taken a look. A code repetition that resulted in a forced escape condition, which could be allegedly caused by an erroneous merging.

However, I do not even remotely believe that Apple lacks the ability to merge code. There are million lines of code merged correctly, why wouldn't the one for SSL traffic, and that particular line... be merged correctly?

The problem does not lye within coding, but ACTING - since Apple is one of the companies that gives all (encryption) keys of the kingdom to US...

Rolling Stone - Thanks to Edward Snowden, who has leaked tens of thousands of NSA documents, we are. Do you consider him a hero or a traitor?

Bill Gates - I think he broke the law, so I certainly wouldn't characterize him as a hero. If he wanted to raise the issues and stay in the country and engage in civil disobedience or something of that kind, or if he had been careful in terms of what he had released, then it would fit more of the model of "OK, I'm really trying to improve things." You won't find much admiration from me.

That's really surprising. Gates is smart enough to know well that his suggestion of staying in the country and engaging in civil disobedience given the knowledge Snowden had is entirely impossible.

edit: the suggestion there also is that one can't break the law and be a hero. Nonsense.

There's also the subtle but significant point that civil disobedience, by definition, involves breaking the law.

I believe it is one evil giving birth to another. Under other circumstances what Edward Snowden did would be condemned by everybody; however, it was the fact that he uncovered the US-operation of stripping us off our liberties and right to privacy - that made him a headline for life..

Who breaks the law more, a three letter agency that snoops on billions of people, or one single person that exposes them?

Edward Snowden: Here's how we take back the Internet

Appearing by telepresence robot, Edward Snowden speaks at TED2014 about surveillance and Internet freedom. The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental rethink of the role of the internet in our lives — and the laws that protect it. "Your rights matter,” he says, "because you never know when you're going to need them." Chris Anderson interviews, with special guest Tim Berners-Lee.
