Britische Überwacher verlangen weltweiten Zugriff auf Apple-Backups. Apple darf das nicht bestätigen und ist damit offenbar kein Einzelfall.

The U.K. news cannot be seen in isolation and follows years of battling between big tech and governments over warranted, legal access to encrypted messages and content to fuel investigations into serious crimes such as terrorism and child abuse.
As I reported in 2020, “it is looking ever more likely that proponents of end-to-end security, the likes of Facebook and Apple, will lose their campaign to maintain user security as a priority.” It has taken five years, but here we now are.
The last few weeks may have seemed to signal a unique fork in the road between the U.S. and its primary Five Eyes ally, the U.K. But it isn’t. In December, the FBI and CISA warned Americans to stop sending texts and use encrypted platforms instead. And now the U.K. has forced open iCloud to by threatening to mandate a backdoor. But the devil’s in the detail — and we’re fast approaching a dangerous pivot."

IT-security researchers at ESET have exposed a malicious campaign by the Russia-linked RomCom group, which combined two previously unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities to compromise targeted systems including Windows and Firefox.

RomCom Victims Heatmap
ESET’s investigation shows that RomCom targeted various sectors, including government entities in Ukraine, the pharmaceutical industry in the US and the legal sector in Germany, for both espionage and cybercrime purposes. The group, also known as Storm-0978, Tropical Scorpius or UNC2596, is known for both opportunistic attacks and targeted espionage.
From October 10th to November 4th, ESET’s data showed that users visiting these malicious websites were primarily located in Europe and North America, with the number of victims ranging from one to as many as 250 in some countries.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/566/540/454/526/125/original/a38df4b9fc8e27b0.png "[ImageSource: ESET]

RomCom Attack Flow
The exploit chain worked by first redirecting users to fake websites, which used domains designed to appear legitimate and included the names of other organizations, before sending them to a server hosting the exploit code.
These fake sites often used the prefix or suffix “redir” or “red” to a legitimate domain, and the redirection at the end of the attack took the victims to the legitimate website, hiding the attack. Once the exploit successfully ran, it installed RomCom’s custom backdoor, giving the attackers remote access and control over the infected machine.
"The compromise chain is composed of a fake website that redirects the potential victim to the server hosting the exploit and should the exploit succeed, shellcode is executed that downloads and executes the RomCom backdoor," said ESET researcher Damien Schaeffer.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/566/541/026/775/880/original/526a5abb2bd31355.png "[ImageSource: ESET]
