[BEWARE!!!] Android Malware "FakeCall" now reroutes Bank Calls to Attackers. :androidalt:

Researchers have found new versions of a sophisticated Android financial-fraud Trojan that’s notable for its ability to intercept calls a victim tries to place to customer-support personnel of their banks.

FakeCall (or FakeCalls) is a banking trojan with a focus on voice phishing, in which victims are deceived through fraudulent calls impersonating banks, asking them to convey sensitive information.

In addition to vishing (voice phishing), FakeCall could also capture live audio and video streams from the infected devices, allowing attackers to steal sensitive data without victim interaction.

The malware also exploits the Android Accessibility Service to capture screen content and manipulate the device’s display to create a deceptive user interface while mimicking the legitimate phone app.

Overview of latest FakeCall attacks.

The FakeCall malware typically infiltrates a device through a malicious app downloaded from a compromised website or a phishing email. The app requests permission to become the default call handler. If granted, the malware gains extensive privileges.

A fake call interface mimics the actual Android dialer, displaying trusted contact information and names, elevating the level of deception to a point that's hard for victims to realize.

What makes this malware so dangerous is that when a user attempts to call their financial institution, the malware secretly hijacks the call and redirects it to an attacker's phone number instead.


Attention #Media #DOJ #HomelandSecurity #FBI
#KamalaHarris #Walz

I saw a segment on #CNN about right wing organizations that are telling their militias that the only way Trump loses is because the #Democrats stole it. They are flooding the dark web with actions to take against the lawfully elected president.

I think the Department of Homeland Security should elevate the threat level for political violence.

A failed coup without accountability is just a practice run for the next time.


If the medium is the message, and constant outrage fuels the media in order to sell advertising, then how can we make the situation better? The medium is not just the message, it is our environment and we collectively need new media literacy. But this is not the kind of literacy most educators and politicians are talking about.

"The product they're pitching is outrage" —Grant Stern

McLuhan's media tetrad:
every medium - 
extends a human property,
obsolesces the previous medium (& often makes it a luxury good), retrieves a much older medium, &
reverses its properties when pushed to its limits

social media—

EXTEND emotion
OBSOLESCE print
REVERSE into constant outrage
RETRIEVE oral discourse

Trump was a historically unpopular president who attempted a hamfisted coup before his hand-picked justices stripped away a long-held right to bodily autonomy.

Normalcy bias is why Nate Cohn wouldn’t believe his own poll if it showed Harris with a healthy lead.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/01/upshot/so-can-we-trust-the-polls.html
It’s hard to overstate how traumatic the 2016 and 2020 elections were for many pollsters. For some, another underestimate of Mr. Trump could be a major threat to their business and their livelihood. For the rest, their status and reputations are on the line. If they underestimate Mr. Trump a third straight time, how can their polls be trusted again? It is much safer, whether in terms of literal self-interest or purely psychologically, to find a close race than to gamble on a clear Harris victory.

At the same time, the 2016 and 2020 polling misfires shattered many pollsters’ confidence in their own methods and data. When their results come in very blue, they don’t believe it. And frankly, I share that same feeling: If our final Pennsylvania poll comes in at Harris +7, why would I believe it? As a result, pollsters are more willing to take steps to produce more Republican-leaning results.

I’d like to watch this film with a big bowl of buttered popcorn!
“A biopic of former president Donald Trump released right before the election seems ripe for box office success. But when screenwriter Gabriel Sherman looked for a distributor for his new film The Apprentice, Trump threatened legal action, and major studios got cold feet. Today on Lever Time, Sherman sits down with David Sirota and Arjun Singh to discuss the battle to release The Apprentice.” #media #politics


#media Journalists Must Rethink Our Fear of Taking Sides The media often acts as if identifying threats or naming falsehoods are acts of partisanship. They are not. They are journalism. https://t.co/igiulBKsBb


#TFG has talked about his frequent chats with Netanyahu -told a rally audience in PA -IL’s doing well bc Bibi isn’t listening to Biden. Musk -possible future cost-cutting czar -in touch with Netanyahu +had “regular contact” with Putin since 2022.

⬆️natsec concerns re Musk’s TS clearance & govt contracts. TFG will bypass sec. cl-.

#Media are failing us. Greatest #nationalsecurity threat is #TFG (+Musk) -rarely mentioned. Gaffes, memes, & lies -not fact✔️ -dominate.

Almost every freaking western media either justifying these of blaming ot on Hezbollah.

Reading the reporting about Israeli atrocities against Lebanon is making me more sick than their coverage of Gaza genocide.

They show even less empathy to people of Lebanon than Palestinians, and that says a lot.

It's really sickening.

Interesting opinion piece at @Poynter. I disagree with it—WaPo is not 'one of the most important news organizations on the planet'—but hyperbole aside, media needs to be trustworthy fom publisher on down, or you can't trust what the publication curates for publication. You can't argue "good apples". My own experience with WaPo journalists made me very skeptical about what they publish and why. Media need to earn the trust to earn the money.

TV sitcom plot device you don't see much any more : the magazine profile.

One of the characters is interviewed or profiled for a magazine article and hilarity ensues.

As magazines decline, so does the use of this once-common trope.

#Tropes #TV #television #media


You know what I'm sick of? I'm sick of the sentence, "the media learned nothing from 2016 and 2020." It's absurd. OF COURSE THEY LEARNED SOMETHING!! They learned that they will pay no price for promoting fascists and undermining anyone opposed to fascism. They learned that they are not obligated to report facts. They learned they are not required to be truthful.

They learned how to cheat and they are practicing that right now.

Apple creates Private Cloud Compute VM to let Researchers find Bugs. :apple_inc:

The company also seeks to improve the system's security and has expanded its security bounty program to include rewards of up to [$1 Million] for vulnerabilities that could compromise “the fundamental security and privacy guarantees of PCC”.

https://security.apple.com/blog/pcc-security-research

#apple #pcc #vm #securityresearch #bug #bounty #programming #ai #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
Apple created a Virtual Research Environment to allow public access to testing the security of its Private Cloud Compute system, and released the source code for some “key components” to help researchers analyze the privacy and safety features on the architecture.

The company also makes available the Private Cloud Compute Security Guide, which explains the architecture and technical details of the components and the way they work.

Interacting with the Private Cloud Compute client from the Virtual Research Environment.

Apple provides a Virtual Research Environment (VRE), which replicates locally the cloud intelligence system and allows inspecting it as well as testing its security and hunting for issues.

“The VRE runs the PCC node software in a virtual machine with only minor modifications. Userspace software runs identically to the PCC node, with the boot process and kernel adapted for virtualization,” Apple explains, sharing documentation on how to set up the Virtual Research Environment on your device.

VRE is present on macOS Sequia 15.1 Developer Preview and it needs a device with Apple silicaon and at least 16GB of unified memory.

The proper way for news media to cover trump's recent statements is with a headline that trump's incarceration is imminent, barring a win in the presidential election.

"...I believe that the deference and evasiveness of legacy American #media comes from many causes, including fear and the habit of pursuing the appearance of being even-handed even at a time when the national political situation is wildly lopsided. Lopsided, that is, because one side is pursuing attacks on #democracy and the constitution and seeks to institute an authoritarian regime while stripping rights away from most of us ..."

I really hope that everyone had a very Happy Halloween. Nothing beats this time of year, when the nights are drawing in and you have the comforting glow of Jack-O-Lanterns fluttering throughout the night.

As trick or treaters came knocking at peoples door, it was wonderful to speak to so many people within our South Manchester community. Parents and kids were all in good spirits and costumes were creative.

Sveriges handfallenhet för krigsbrotten kommer att gå till historien. Orden för att ska beskriva det fasansfulla som sker i Gaza är uttömda. Israels regering fortsätter m sina illdåd trots de lagar som gäller i krig, Många liv som redan är förlorade kommer aldrig att få rättvisa. Deras fasansfulla upplever är raderade. Alltför många i Sveriges
journalistkår har förvrängt verkligheten el rent inte rapporterat fakta. Skamligt!

#krigsbrott #Israel #gaza #media #svpol #svpolitik #IsraelWarCrimes
Krönika: Israels krigföring i Gaza har sparat ur - och världen tittar bara pả.
Orden börjar ta slut för att beskriva Israels ödeläggelse av Gaza. Landets beslutsfattare passerar dagligen nya gränser: tältläger bombas och patienter bränns till döds, sjukvarden slas ut och civila massbegravs under raserade byggnader. FN:s generalsekreterare förklaras persona non grata och fredsbevarande FN-trupper beskjuts i Libanon, oberoende press förbjuds och journalister dödas, ministrar hetsar om att driva bort palestinier och bygga nya illegala bosättningar.
Ända terstär en allt mer löjeväckande grupp som vidhäller det rättfärdiga i den israeliska militärmaktens agerande. Som med hänvisning till 7 oktober inte verkar kunna halla Israel ansvarigt för vare sig handlingar eller metoder - oavsett hur extrema. I takt med att krigsbrotten ackumuleras blir deras argument desperatare. Den senaste trenden är att peka pa andra konflikter och ifragasätta varför de inte väcker samma engagemang. Ofta fran skribenter och tyckare som själva aldrig tidigare har visat intresse för nämnda konflikter.


got on the phone with the parent corporate headquarters for art forum . I explained a brief idea I had about a story I am working on , and the lady told me “That’s not how this works “
I heard that one before.
