Uber fälscht Fahrpreise – Fahrer fälschen GPS-Signal

Der Fahrer kann die Täuschungs-App parallel zur Uber-App installieren und mit dieser gleichzeitig betreiben, so dass die Ortung des eigenen Telefons nicht beeinflusst wird. Die App mit dem Namen Lockito wird offiziell vertrieben, um App-Entwickler mit künstlichen GPS-Daten zu versorgen. Sie wird von Uber-Fahrern in Nordamerika, in Afrika und wahrscheinlich auch an anderen Orten angewendet, und von Uber nicht blockiert.

Most Senate Intelligence Committee Members Are Fine With Domestic Surveillance By The NSA

The Senate Intelligence Committee has released its report [PDF] on its Section 702 reauthorization plan. Rather than adopt any serious reforms — like those proposed by Sen. Ron Wyden — the SIC plans to move ahead with its non-reform bill, one that‘s actually weaker than the watered-down offering from the House.

The bill remains pretty much as bad as it was when it was first introduced. It still allows the NSA to start up its „about“ collection again, although it does require approval from the FISA court first and contains a safety valve for introduction of legislation forbidding this collection. (I guess Wyden‘s reform bill doesn‘t count.)

A Death in Athens: Did a Rogue NSA Operation Cause the Death of a Greek Telecom Employee?

(29.9.2015) The day before his death, Costas’ boss at Vodafone had ordered that a newly discovered code — a powerful and sophisticated bug — be deactivated and removed from its systems. The wiretap, placed by persons unknown, targeted more than 100 top officials, including then Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis and his wife, Natassa; the mayor of Athens; members of the Ministerial Cabinet; as well as journalists, capturing not only the country’s highest secrets, but also its most intimate conversations. The question was, who did it?

The taps began sometime near the beginning of August 2004 and were removed in March 2005 without discovering the identity of the perpetrators.

Stellt euch mal einen Polizisten vor…

der den Hitlergruß zeigt, das Noten des Horst-Wessel-Lieds und Runen tätowiert hat, an einer Nazi-CD mitgewirkt haben soll, und Nazi-Devotionalien in seiner Wohnung aufbewahrt.

Die gute Nachricht: Der ist jetzt aus dem Beamtenverhältnis entlassen worden.

Die schlechte Nachricht: Es hat 10 Jahre Klageweg gedauert, und auf dem Weg hat der die ganze Zeit von den Gerichten Recht gekriegt.

„Operation Trick“ – Die Taktiken der Jamaika-Sondierer

In verschiedenen Varianten betonen CDU-Spitzenpolitiker ihre Zuversicht jeden Tag. Sinn der Übung: Eine Dynamik entfalten, die die Partner mitzieht und allen den Eindruck vermittelt, dass eine Einigung „alternativlos“ sei. Dann fällt eine Nicht-Einigung umso schwerer. Denn Politik ist auch Psychologie.
