WikiLeaks: CIA wrote code ‘to impersonate’ Kaspersky Lab anti-virus

Posted on by

“The CIA multi-platform hacking suite ‘Hive’ was able to impersonate existing entities to conceal suspicious traffic from the user being spied on, the source code of the malicious program indicates, WikiLeaks said on Thursday.  The extraction of information would therefore be misattributed to an impersonated company, and at least three examples in the code show that Hive is able to impersonate Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab, WikiLeaks stated.”

James Bovard: Facebook/Russia farce shows lawmaker deviousness, demagoguery

Posted on by

“Almost half of millennials supported restricting freedom of speech on social media, according to a recent survey.  Congressional threats have probably already done long-term damage to corporate spines. It would be naive to expect Facebook, Twitter, or other social media companies to take heroic stands in favor of free speech. But it would be even more naive to expect anything good to result from permitting politicians to decimate freedom in the name of democracy.”

‘Dislike’ and ‘Unfriendliness’ Can Be Hate Crimes, UK Police Confirm

Posted on by

“National bodies, including the College of Policing (CoP) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), both admit there is an ‘absence of a precise legal definition of hostility’, with the latter also referring individual forces onto ‘dictionary definitions’ for the purpose of investigating hate crimes.  Dictionary definitions include a wide range of normal human behaviours and emotions, and images on social media suggest police officers are being told to look out for ‘unfriendliness’ as a sign of a hate crime. The CPS also mentions ‘ill-will, ill-feeling, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment, and dislike’ as examples of hostility that could be taken from a dictionary.”

If the Law Is This Complicated, Why Shouldn’t Ignorance Be an Excuse?

Posted on by

“America’s judges still cling to the proposition that it’s perfectly fine to lock people up for doing something they had no idea was illegal. But it’s not fine, and the justifications for that palpably unfair rule have only grown more threadbare with time.”

Kaspersky Software Vilified For Catching Classified NSA Malware

Posted on by

“The antivirus software was doing exactly what it was supposed to do, sweeping up computer malware, and collecting data for analysis to improve their ability to fight off such attacks in the future.  And that’s exactly what customers are paying for with such companies’ software, and the big problem the US has with Kaspersky seems not to be that it is Russia-based, but that it worked so well it detected their brand new malicious software.”

Bovard: Facebook censored me for criticizing the government

Posted on by

“Facebook said my post’s image of a violent FBI raid ‘incorrectly triggered our automation tools.’ But it wasn’t the first time an iconic image vanished.  In the name of repressing fake news and hate speech, Facebook is probably suppressing far more information than Americans realize.”

Saudi Prince says Bitcoin is ‘just going to implode one day’

Posted on by

“Alwaleed said bitcoin ‘doesn’t make sense. This thing is not regulated, it’s not under control, [and] it’s not under the supervision’ of any central bank.  Of course, to bitcoin proponents, those same criticisms are features rather than bugs.”
