You should be able to use the web without fear that a criminal or state-sponsored actor is exploiting software bugs to infect your computer, steal secrets or monitor your communications. Yet in sophisticated attacks, we see the use of „zero-day“ vulnerabilities to target, for example, human rights activists or to conduct industrial espionage. This needs to stop. We think more can be done to tackle this problem.
Project Zero is our contribution, to start the ball rolling.
Um den üblichen monatelangen Gesetzgebungsprozess kurzerhand auszuhebeln, hat die Regierung vor fünf Tagen ein Gesetz namens Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill (kurz: Drip) auf den Weg gebracht. Es ist ein Notstandsgesetz, als befänden sich die Briten gerade im Krieg.
Seit fast einem halben Jahr sitzt ein unbescholtener Student in U-Haft, weil er bei der Demonstration gegen den Akademikerball randaliert haben soll. Sein Fall gibt Einblick in eine kafkaeske Strafverfolgungsmaschine
Well this is fascinating. Ronan Farrow, the well-known MSNBC reporter who is also an attorney and former State Department official (and, at times, a subject of much parental speculation), apparently has come out in favor of blatant censorship. Following in the dangerous footsteps of Joe Lieberman, Farrow is apparently angry that internet companies like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter aren‘t taking down accounts that he believes are used by terrorists.
Bild mass daily cited security sources, adding it was only a „matter of days“ now. The German Foreign Office declined to comment and referred to previous statements that the government expected the intelligence representative to leave „promptly“.
Im NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss werde erwogen auf mechanische Schreibmaschinen zurückzugreifen, um geheime Dokumente zu verfassen, so der Ausschussvorsitzende Patrick Sensburg (CDU). Dann sind wir mal gespannt, was es alles im Durchschlagpapier zu lesen geben wird.

In den USA tobt aktuell ein Kampf um die Netzneutralität. Die Debatte wird dort prominenter geführt als hierzulande und zum Beispiel in gleichermaßen lustigen wie informativen Videos thematisiert (College Humor, John Oliver und noch viel mehr).
(7. Februar 2010) Das sogenannte “EU-Parlament” hat dabei lediglich die Kompetenz, die gesamte Kommission durch Mehrheitsbeschluss von Abgeordneten aller Mitgliedsländer abzulehnen, was natürlich noch nie passiert ist.
„The truth behind this attack will become clear after an investigation, but we clearly announce that it was not done by the Mujahedeen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,“ Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said in a statement.
„The Mujahedeen do not conduct such attacks and such attacks do not bring any benefit to them.“
You‘d think approved warrants must be like albino unicorns for all the arguing the government does to avoid having to run one by a judge. It continually acts as though there aren‘t statistics out there that show obtaining a warrant is about as difficult as obeying the laws of thermodynamics. Wiretap warrants have been approved 99.969% of the time over the last decade. And that‘s for something far more intrusive than cell site location data.
In an open letter, this association urges United Nations, the international community, the international academic community, trade unions and students to show support and solidarity with the people of Gaza, and they are calling on their governments to immediately impose a boycott and sanctions against the Israel.
British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday pushed through his biggest government shake-up since coming to power in 2010, promoting women and Eurosceptics to senior roles ahead of a national election in May next year.

In a ruling in the U.S.S. Cole case, unsealed last week, Judge James Pohl told prosecutors they must hand over CIA black site information to the defense attorneys of Abd al-Rahim Hussayn al-Nashiri. Back in April, Judge Pohl similarly ordered the prosecution to give extensive information to Mr. al-Nashiri‘s lawyers about his „4-year odyssey“ through the CIA‘s rendition and torture program. In the new ruling, Judge Pohl confirmed the core of the earlier order and issued important findings that will reverberate not only in Mr. al-Nashiri‘s case but also in the 9/11 case, where one of the five defendants has already asked for similar information.
Die Massenproduktion in China hat zu einem deutlichen Preisverfall bei Photovoltaik-Modulen geführt. Was die Solarmodul-Hersteller in Deutschland in die Krise gestürzt hat, hilft vielen Verbrauchern bei der Entscheidung für Solarstrom.

(Januar 2009) During a Commons debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel.
Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said: „My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.
„My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.“
Israel’s present assault on Gaza alas indicates that this policy continues unabated. The term is important since it appropriately locates Israel’s barbaric action — then and now — within a wider historical context.
