"At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about Street Level Surveillance technologies—the technologies used by police and other authorities to spy on you while you are going about your everyday life—such as automated license plate readers, facial recognition, surveillance camera networks, and cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out CSS around the world.

CSS (also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower."

Fake CAPTCHA PDFs spread Lumma Stealer via Webflow, GoDaddy & other Domains.

IT-Security researchers have uncovered a widespread phishing campaign that uses fake CAPTCHA images shared via PDF documents hosted on Webflow's content delivery network (CDN) to deliver the Lumma stealer malware.

Netskope Threat Labs said it discovered 260 unique domains hosting 5,000 phishing PDF files that redirect victims to malicious websites. "The attacker uses SEO to trick victims into visiting the pages by clicking on malicious search engine results," security researcher Jan Michael Alcantara said in a report. "While most phishing pages focus on stealing credit card information, some PDF files contain fake CAPTCHAs that trick victims into executing malicious PowerShell commands, ultimately leading to the Lumma Stealer malware." The phishing campaign is estimated to have affected more than 1,150 organizations and more than 7,000 users since the second half of 2024, with the attacks primarily singling out victims in North America, Asia, and Southern Europe across technology, financial services and manufacturing sectors.

Apparently Firefox shares unique identifiers for quite a lot of reasons which mostly fail to convince me of their need. There might be legitimate reason, but once again raises more questions than answers. E.g look at the "relevant content and advertising on Firefox New Tab" part. 😩

Have I Been Pwned adds 284M Accounts stolen by Infostealer Malware. [⚠️HIBP is a Website that alerts Users about Data Breaches.⚠️]

HIBP founder Troy Hunt says he found 284,132,969 compromised accounts while analyzing 1.5TB of stealer logs likely collected from numerous sources and shared on a Telegram channel known as “ALIEN TXTBASE.”

https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#AlienStealerLogs

#hibp #alienstealer #data #breach #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
[ImageSource: HIBP] In addition to expanding the database, HIBP has introduced new APIs to enhance data accessibility for organizations. These APIs allow querying of stealer logs by email and website domain, enabling assessments of workforce exposure and identifying compromised customer credentials. These tools are available through a Pwned 5 subscription, which includes an API for email search and a free web UI for email log viewing. A new “IsStealerLog” flag is added for differentiated handling of stealer log data. “This means that anyone programmatically dealing with data in HIBP can now easily elect to handle stealer logs differently than other breaches,” Troy Hunt.

:firefox: Firefox confirms Support for Manifest V2 & V3 Extensions, contrasting Google's Chrome phase-out & disables MV2 Ad-Blockers.

Mozilla has renewed its promise to continue supporting Manifest V2 extensions alongside Manifest V3, giving users the freedom to use the extensions they want in their browser.

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-manifest-v3-adblockers/

#firefox #manifest #v2 #extensions #support #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
Although Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari have all adopted MV3, they have done so with their own implementation modifications, allowing users greater freedom while still benefiting from the security enhancements. Still, support for MV2 is the only way to go for older add-ons, and Firefox reiterated via an announcement that it will continue to support it in the foreseeable future. "While some browsers are phasing out Manifest V2 entirely, Firefox is keeping it alongside Manifest V3," said Mozilla. Specifically, the internet company said it would continue to support both the 'blockingWebRequest' and 'declarativeNetRequest' APIs, corresponding to MV3 and MV2, respectively, allowing extensions like uBlock Origin to continue working as usual. Firefox has not stated how long this support will continue, but as long as there are powerful add-ons enhancing user privacy and security, Mozilla should continue to have strong reasons to extend support for Manifest V2.

Mozilla’s approach to Manifest V3: What’s different and why it matters for extension users

While some browsers are phasing out Manifest V2 entirely, Firefox is keeping it alongside Manifest V3 — ensuring powerful privacy tools remain available to users.

Nine arrested at New York Tesla dealership as anti-Musk protests break out

The protest, which police said involved hundreds of people, was one of a wave of "Tesla Takedown" demonstrations staged across the country targeting billionaire Musk, who is spearheading the Trump administration's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

“Principle 4. Individuals’ #security and #privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.”

“The Mozilla #Manifesto Addendum

Pledge for a Healthy #Internet

The open, global internet is the most powerful communication and collaboration resource we have ever seen. It embodies some of our deepest hopes for human progress. It enables new opportunities for learning, building a sense of shared humanity, and solving the pressing problems facing people everywhere.

Over the last decade we have seen this promise fulfilled in many ways. We have also seen the power of the internet used to magnify divisiveness, incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality. We have learned that we should more explicitly set out our aspirations for the human experience of the internet. We do so now.”
