Hunting the Hunters: How We Identified Navalny's FSB Stalkers - bellingcat
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 26, 2021

Jan. 26, 2021

Notevole. <https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2020/12/14/navalny-fsb-methodology/> December 14, 2020 Translations: Русский <https://ru.bellingcat.com/materialy/casestudies/2020/12/28/navalny-fsb-meth…> Today, alongside investigative partners CNN, Der Spiegel, and The Insider, we identified <https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2020/12/14/fsb-team-of-chemic…> a long-running FSB operation to trail Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny, including a number of chemical weapons experts involved in the research and development of Novichok. How did we find all of this information, and how did we verify the information? We’ll detail our investigative methodologies here, with some discussion on Russian data markets, cross-referencing data to be sure of its veracity, and other topics. Bellingcat has previously investigated the role of a chain of Russian government-run scientific institutes in providing research into and manufacturing of nerve agent for GRU’s overseas assassination program, including the March 2018 Novichok poisoning of Sergey and Yulia Skripal and the earlier poisoning of Bulgarian arms manufacturer Emilian Gebrev. In the course of a Belingcat investigation into Russia’s renewed chemical weapons project, we analyzed call metadata for the telephone numbers used by two senior executives of SC Signal, an entity that we found to be directly involved in the development of new variants and application methods for nerve agents <https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2020/10/23/russias-clandestin…>. We had observed that in the months preceding Alexey Navalny’s poisoning, both of these executives – Arur Zhirov and Victor Taranchenko – had communicated with Stanislav Makshakov, and less frequently with his FSB superiors Kirill Vasilyev and Vladimir Bogdanov. At the start of Bellingcat’s investigation into the Navalny poisoning we investigated whether a similar surge appeared between SC Signal executives and the GRU-linked institute just before the Navalny poisoning in Tomsk. We did not find such a pattern; with a single Signal-GRU (Sergey Chepur) phone call on 6 July 2020. However we did observe a more significant surge between SC Signal and FSB linked numbers. In particular, The first such surge appeared in the period 29 June 2020 to 7 July 2020, with а peak on 6 July 2020. On 6 July, SC Signal’s CEO Artur Zhirov had received calls from four different FSB employees linked to the Criminalistics Institute, including Col. Stanislav Makshakov and Gen. Vladimir Bogdanov. In addition Zhirov had received a call from a landline number belonging to FSB’s secure communications department. [...] Tugging on one thread will unravel an entire tapestry of cross-referenced data, eventually revealing how Navalny’s poisoning was planned and carried out by a team of chemical weapon experts and FSB operatives. Much of this data is available due to the negligence of the Russian government — it’s hard to imagine an entire city’s vehicle registration database with passport numbers, addresses, license plate numbers, and other data to be leaked online annually for anyone to find in Germany or Canada — as well as the sloppiness of the security services themselves. The FSB and GRU are as ambitious as they are dangerous in their operations, but the same cannot be said about their operational security practices. You do not need to look for dead drops in a park or trail people through alleyways to uncover the cover identities of spies, rather you just need a keen eye, patience, and the sense of knowing where to look for available leaked data sources.

Le ICO e i nuovi ricchi
by Antonio Iacono Jan. 26, 2021

Jan. 26, 2021

Non so se avete seguito la puntata di ieri sera di Report, se no vi invito a vederla su Raiplay [1]. Perchè è importante per questa lista? Perchè quello che è avvenuto (e sta in parte avvenendo) negli ultimi anni avrà effetti sul domani di tante persone. Mi riferisco ai soggetti che, in un modo o nell'altro, sono diventati ricchi, straricchi, con la "nuova finanza", grazie, o meglio alle spese, degli "ingenui" investitori (non è una novità ma stavolta ci sono di mezzo le "nuove tecnologie" e per questo ne parliamo qui). Il caso trattato da Report riguarda la HelBiz, noleggiatrice di monopattini elettrici. Nel 2018, l'anno di boom delle ICO la HelBiz "raccoglie" qualcosa come 38 milioni di dollari [2] promettendo un futuro radioso agli investitori. Oggi quei "gettoni" virtuali non sono buoni nemmeno per il flipper (naturalmente virtuale) [3]. Andrea Malan l'ha definita la cripto-stangata [4].

Prima di Zuboff: "Surveillance Capitalism" di Foster e McChesney (2014)
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 26, 2021

Jan. 26, 2021

Il primo articolo di Zuboff su "surveillance capitalism" mi risulta essere del 2015. Peccato che un anno prima, nel luglio 2014, due noti studiosi avessero già pubblicato questo articolo in una rivista piuttosto famosa, the Monthly Review: *Surveillance Capitalism* /Monopoly-Finance Capital, the Military-Industrial Complex, and the Digital Age// / John Bellamy Foster and Robert W. McChesney https://monthlyreview.org/2014/07/01/surveillance-capitalism/ Zuboff non cita questo articolo né nell'articolo a rivista del 2015, né nel suo libro del 2019. jc

Security Analysis of SMS as a Second Factor of Authentication | December 2020 | Communications of the ACM
by Alberto Cammozzo Jan. 26, 2021

Jan. 26, 2021

<https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2020/12/248798-security-analysis-of-sms-as-a…> [...] This article provides some insight into the security challenges of SMS-based multifactor authentication: mainly cellular security deficiencies, exploits in the SS7 (Signaling System No. 7) protocol, and the dangerously simple yet highly efficient fraud method known as SIM (subscriber identity module) swapping. Based on these insights, readers can gauge whether SMS tokens should be used for their online accounts. This article is not an actual analysis of multifactor authentication methods and what can be considered a second (or third, fourth, and so on) factor of authentication; for such a discussion, the author recommends reading security expert Troy Hunt's report on the topic.^9 <https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2020/12/248798-security-analysis-of-sms-as-a…> [...]

NYT, "Behind a Secret Deal Between Google and Facebook"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 26, 2021

Jan. 26, 2021

*Behind a Secret Deal Between Google and Facebook* /Facebook was going to compete with Google for some advertising sales but backed away from the plan after the companies cut a preferential deal, according to court documents./ By Daisuke Wakabayashi and Tiffany Hsu Jan. 17, 2021 In 2017, Facebook said it was testing a new way of selling online advertising that would threaten Google’s control of the digital ad market. But less than two years later, Facebook did an about-face and said it was joining an alliance of companies backing a similar effort by Google. Facebook never said why it pulled back from its project, but evidence presented in an antitrust lawsuit filed by 10 state attorneys general last month indicates that Google had extended to Facebook, its closest rival for digital advertising dollars, a sweetheart deal to be a partner.
