Israel’s AI use in Gaza potentially normalizes civilian killings, obscures blame, exposes Big Tech complicity: Expert
Israel’s use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip – aided by tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon – is fueling concerns over the normalization of mass civilian casualties and raising serious questions about the complicity of these firms in potential war crimes, according to a leading AI expert.
Multiple reports have confirmed that Israel has deployed AI models such as Lavender, Gospel, and Where’s Daddy? to conduct mass surveillance, identify targets, and direct strikes against tens of thousands of individuals in Gaza – often in their own homes – all with minimal human oversight.
Microsoft’s Quantum Chip Breakthrough Accelerates Threat to Encryption Protocols
(February 21, 2025)
However, the announcement has also underscored the urgency of organizations transitioning to post-quantum cryptography. This is because quantum computers of this scale will be able to rapidly solve mathematical equations that make up current encryption protocols, such as RSA and AES.
Such a scenario will leave data, connections and components used by all organizations exposed.
Malicious actors are also believed to be already stockpiling encrypted data in anticipation of quantum technology to mature, in what are known as ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ attacks.
Leaked documents expose deep ties between Israeli army and Microsoft
The documents reveal that dozens of units in the Israeli army have purchased services from Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, Azure, in recent months — including units in the air, ground, and naval forces, as well as the elite intelligence squad, Unit 8200. Microsoft has also provided the military with extensive access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 language model, the engine behind ChatGPT, thanks to the close partnership between the two companies.
These revelations are the product of an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call in collaboration with The Guardian.
Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN
(September 11th, 2024)
Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.
(…)
Although it is headquartered in London and employs more than 1,000 people worldwide, Kape Technologies maintains a distinctly Israeli flavor. This begins with its owner, Teddy Sagi. Born in Tel Aviv, the tycoon, who previously spent time in prison for financial crimes, is estimated to be worth $6.4 billion, making him among the top ten richest Israelis.
(…)
Company co-founder and longtime CEO Koby Menachemi began his tech career as a developer for Unit 8200, while Liron Peer, the company’s current head of accounting, also served three years in the controversial military unit. Meanwhile, Menachemi’s successor as Kape CEO, Ido Erlichman, is a veteran of Unit 217, the Duvdevan Unit, an elite commando group that carries out intelligence operations and assassinations against the local Arab population.
(…)
Facebook’s collaboration with Unit 8200 goes far deeper, however. This author’s 2022 MintPress News investigation found that a vast number of Unit 8200 veterans had gone on to work in senior positions at Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
(…)
The same investigation found at least 99 former Unit 8200 agents working at Google. These included Google’s head of strategy and operations, Gavriel Goidel; its head of insights, data and management, Jonathan Cohen; and Google Waze’s head of global self-service, Ori Daniel.
Microsoft, meanwhile, hired at least 166 Unit 8200 veterans to fill its ranks, including many that went straight from the military into the company, suggesting that it is actively recruiting from the regiment.

How Windows 11 scrapes your data before you’re even connected to the internet
(February 8, 2023)
Using the Wireshark network protocol analyzer, the YouTubers were able to uncover some interesting, yet unsurprising, information about what kind of telemetry was being sent by Windows 11. At boot-up, even before an internet connection was made, they found that Windows 11 was already busy sending information to Microsoft and third-party servers. For example, the information went to software servers (possibly for updates, antivirus refresh, to check for trial versions, etc.) and to marketing/advertising networks.
In stark contrast, the 20-year-old Windows XP 64-bit version barely made a pip, if at all. The only telemetry that was sent was to Microsoft servers to check for OS updates.

NSA Prism program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others
(7 Jun 2013)
The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation – classified as top secret with no distribution to foreign allies – which was apparently used to train intelligence operatives on the capabilities of the program. The document claims „collection directly from the servers“ of major US service providers.
Although the presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge of any such program.

Spyware From Israeli Firm QuaDream Used to Hack Journalists, Activists Around the World
Israel‘s offensive cyber industry accounts for a wide variety of surveillance and espionage technologies. A number of these are tools sold to policing bodies which reveal the geographic location of a target. There are also more advanced technologies, sold to law enforcement and intelligence bodies, which allow clients to hack into computers, mobile phones and encrypted messaging apps, extracting all information stored on a device and secretly turning on its microphone and camera to create a tool which spies on its owner.

So deaktivieren Sie alte TLS-Protokolle in Windows und Browsern
(01.02.2022)
Es gibt Internetprotokolle die vor ein paar Jahren sehr notwendig waren, um navigieren zu können, aber mit der Zeit unsicher und obsolet geworden sind. Dies geschieht mit den Protokollen SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 und TLS 1.1. Nach und nach haben die meisten Browser sie verworfen, aber einige sind immer noch standardmäßig in aktiviert Windows. In diesem Artikel erklären wir, wie wir sie sowohl in Browsern als auch im System selbst deaktivieren können.

Biden Handing Over U.S. Sovereignty to WHO
(May 4, 2022)
Please take seriously the severity of this existential threat to everything free people hold dear. Do everything in your power to pass this report on to others and to find ways to communicate with and to influence people to stop empowering WHO to take over our national sovereignty and freedom.
On May 22-28, 2022, ultimate control over America’s healthcare system, and hence its national sovereignty, will be delivered for a vote to the World Health Organization’s governing legislative body, the World Health Assembly (WHA).
This threat is contained in new amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations, proposed by the Biden administration, that are scheduled as “Provisional agenda item 16.2” at the upcoming conference on May 22-28, 2022.1
These amendments will empower WHO’s Director-General to declare health emergencies or crises in any nation and to do so unilaterally and against the opposition of the target nation. The Director-General will be able to declare these health crises based merely on his personal opinion or consideration that there is a potential or possible threat to other nations.
International Health Regulations: A big step toward a health dictatorship is imminent
(12 May 2022)
A US proposal to amend the International Health Regulations (IHR) is scheduled to be voted on at the May 22-28 World Health Assembly.
The proposal was sent to WHO member countries by the WHO Director General as early as January 20. However, the proposal was only made available to the public on April 12, and in a way that hardly anybody took notice. Mainstream media coverage is virtually nonexistent. I became aware of it through a May 8 report by the independent Austrian news portal tkp.at, which in turn learned of it only through a May 4 report by the portal America Out Loud.
The US proposal is characterized throughout by changes that would empower the WHO to declare health emergencies for countries and regions without involvement or consent of the respective governments, and to dictate countermeasures, even including the deployment of foreign teams of experts.
WHO Stealth Coup to Dictate Global Health Agenda of Gates, Big Pharma
Doing something with stealth means doing it in a secretive or concealed manner, to prevent it being widely known and possibly opposed. This applies to the proposal given by the Biden Administration to the Geneva WHO in January 18, 2022 according to official WHO documents. The WHO hid the details of the US “amendments” for almost three months, until 12 April, just a month before the relevant body of the WHO meets to approve the radical measures. Moreover, rather than the previous 18 month waiting time to become treaty in international law, only 6 months are used this time. This is a bum’s rush. The US proposal is backed by every EU country and in total 47 countries ensuring almost certain passage.
The proposals, officially titled, “Strengthening WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies: Proposal for amendments to the International Health Regulations,” were submitted by Assistant Secretary for Global Affairs (OGA) in the US Department of Health and Human Services, Loyce Pace, as “amendments” to a previously ratified 2005 WHO International Health Regulations treaty. The WHO defines that 2005 treaty thus: “the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) provide an overarching legal framework that defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders. The IHR are an instrument of international law that is legally-binding on 196 countries, including the 194 WHO Member States.”

How to check for TLS version 1.3 in Linux, Windows, and Chrome
(Dec 8, 2020)
Due to the retirement of OpenSSL v1.0.2 from support. This will result in the addition of support for TLS v1.3 and its cipher suites, as well as 37 new cipher suites for TLS v1.2. There are several performance and security enhancements in TLS v1.3 when upgraded products are at both ends of the connection.

One thing Microsoft didn‘t discuss: Windows 11 privacy
(25 Jun 2021 )
In Microsoft‘s Windows 11 blog post, the word „privacy“ doesn‘t appear once in the copy, which doesn‘t exactly bode well for its messaging. Windows 11 will force users to use a Microsoft Account in its free Home Edition, which already speaks of a business model where your data is the monetization engine. Even if you‘re using the world‘s best VPN, it‘s not exactly going to protect your data from going directly to Microsoft if you‘re signed in.
Digitale Impfpasskontrollen werden Dauereinrichtung: In Deutschland, USA, Kanada und der ganzen Welt
Die Impfnachweisinitiative VCI, zu der unter anderem Microsoft, Salesforce und Oracle gehören, hat bereits betächtliche Fortschritte zur Erreichung ihres Ziels gemacht, den Code für einen weltweit interoperablen, digitalen Immunitätsnachweis bereitzustellen. Nach einem Bericht des Magazins Forbes hat bereits die Hälfte der US-Bundesstaaten die SMART Health Card der VCI eingeführt oder steht kurz davor.
Neben Flugreisen wird ein Immunitätsnachweis bei vielen Veranstaltungen verlangt, in den USA zunehmend ausschließlich digital. Auch im Bundesland Berlin wird nur noch die digitale Variante des Impfnachweises anerkannt, ebenso in manchen europäischen Ländern.
WHO beauftragt länderübergreifenden digitalen Impfpass
Bill Gates ist der hinter den USA der zweitgrößte Geldgeber der WHO. Der drittgrößte Geldgeber ist GAVI – die globale Impfallianz, die im Jahr 2000 vom Weltwirtschaftsforum gegründet wurde und die anfangs eine Förderung von 750 Millionen Dollar durch Gates erhielt.
Vielleicht dient die WHO-Initiative als Vorläufer für die Einführung einer europäischen digitalen Identität, wie sie von der EU angestrebt wird. Diese könnte dann in eine globale digitale Identität eingebettet werden, wie durch das Projekt ID2020 angedacht. Partner von ID 2020 sind wiederum Microsoft und GAVI.
If you suspect being targeted with Pegasus, get in touch by January 7: Supreme Court panel
The committee constituted by the Supreme Court to look into allegations of snooping using the Pegasus spyware invited all citizens who suspected their mobile phones had been targeted to contact the panel by noon on January 7.
“The committee requests any citizen of India who has reasonable cause to suspect that his/her mobile has been compromised due to specific usage of NSO Group Israel’s Pegasus software to contact the technical committee appointed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, with reasons as to why you believe your device may have been infected with Pegasus malware, and whether you would be in a position to allow the Technical Committee to examine your device,” the three-member panel said in an advertisement in several national dailies.

Dieser Markt ließe sich unermesslich steigern, sollte die Propaganda, dass die gesamte Menschheit (B. Gates) und in Deutschland fast die gesamte Bevölkerung (A. Merkel) geimpft werden solle und auch müsse, umgesetzt werden. Deshalb schätzt das Finanz- und Analyseunternehmen „Morningstar“ für 2021 zu erwartenden Umsatz von 67 Milliarden US-Dollar für Covid-19-Impfstoffe. Der Umsatz der Rüstungsindustrie umfasste 2019 166 Mrd. US-Dollar.
Zwei dieser Biotech-Unternehmen sollen näher betrachtet werden: Biontech und Curevac.

After NSO Group, warning issued against second Israeli spyware firm
(October 4, 2021)
The July report by Citizen‘s Lab and Microsoft found that Candiru had been used to spy on more than 100 human rights activists, regime opponents, journalists and scholars from countries such as Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, UK, Turkey and even Israel.
Revelations about Candiru make it the first time that fingers were being pointed at a second Israeli cyber-surveillance company, which is considered a competitor of the NSO Group. The notorious Israeli firm sparked a global scandal in July following the discovery that as many as 50,000 phones were targeted by its Pegasus spyware.
