Killer robots, a new deadline for Real ID, effective privacy organizing, security cameras with a data leak, Mastodon, and more!<\/p>\n
Edwad Hasbrouck on Papers Please (papersplease.org)<\/p>\n
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has pushed back the requirment to use a “Real ID” license for boarding domestic flights to May 7, 2025. <\/p>\n
“The change announced<\/a> today \u2014 only the most recent in a seemingly endless<\/a>series<\/a> of postponed<\/a>empty<\/a> REAL-ID threats \u2014 again postpones, but does not withdraw, the DHS threat<\/a> to start preventing people without ID from traveling by airline within the US.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When I was discussing this with a Congressional staffer before Thanksgiving, I mentioned that I’ve been involved in activism against Real ID for over 20 years \u2013 back in 2005, Stop Real ID Now was one of the first privacy activism campaigns to use social networks, and there was such a flurry of last-minute comments that it overwhelmed the Federal Register’s fax machines. \u00a0 In Real ID requirement for air travel delayed, again<\/a> on the Washington Post, Luz Lazo reports that as of a fwe months ago, only 49% of state-issued IDs are Real-ID compliant. \u00a0Mine most emphatically is not! <\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not Science, Just Surveillance (and it\u2019s Under Your Desk)<\/a><\/h3>\n
Max von Hippel, Tech Workers Coalition (techworkerscoalition.org)<\/p>\n
In October, Northeastern University installed motion sensors installed under all the desks in the Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex (ISEC) at Northeastern University \u2013 without letting students know in advance, let alone getting IRB approval or students’ consent. \u00a0Von Hippel writes:<\/p>\n
“The alleged reason for the sensors was to conduct a study on desk usage. Reader, we have assigned desks, and we use a key-card to get into the room, so, they already know how and when we use our desks. Most likely the sensors were installed as part of a coordinated effort to push us out of our existing work-space, or to make us share our desks with other students via a hotelling system, an en-vogue new cost-saving measure that\u2019s terrible for research.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Unsprurpsingly, students pushed back. \u00a0Von Hippel’s Twitter thread<\/a> has a good timeline. \u00a0Students removed all the sensors and turned them into a public art piece. \u00a0Eventually, the university backed down.<\/p>\n

Eufy\u2019s security cameras send data to the cloud without consent, and that\u2019s not the worst part<\/a><\/h3>\n
Maria Diaz on ZDNET (zdnet.com)<\/p>\n
Eufy’s home page tells customers they can “keep privacy in their own hands” … but no. \u00a0Security researcher Paul Moore has discovered that Eufy uploads video thumbnails and photos of the faces of people detected in the video to the cloud \u2013 even when the option to use cloud storage was disabled. \u00a0Not only that, it turns out that anybody could potentially access a Eufy camera without authentication or encryption by using VLC remotely. \u00a0Yikes.<\/p>\n

Mastodon<\/h2>\n
How secure a Twitter replacement is Mastodon? Let us count the ways<\/a><\/h3>\n
Dan Goodin, Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)<\/p>\n
A good look at the security issues related to Mastodon, with perspectives from a range of experts \u2013 including me! \u00a0Goodin discusses the impact of Mastodon not having a security team, the lack of any security auditing, the recent misconfiguration vulnerability<\/a> in multiple instances that allowed for the downloading and deleting of all files stored on the server and replacing every user\u2019s profile picture, and other issues as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn personal security, there aren’t a lot of protections against harassment,\u201d said Jon Pincus of the Nexus of Privacy<\/a>. \u201cMany instances aren’t well-moderated (including mastodon.social, which [Mastodon creator] Eugen [Rochko] runs). Even well-moderated instances can be overwhelmed by determined attacks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Obviously, I’m still using Mastodon despite the security issues. \u00a0I see it pretty much the same way as Kevin Beaumont, a security professional and admin for the cyberplace.social instance Goodin also quotes:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy take is the same as Twitter. Don\u2019t write anything on social media you wouldn\u2019t write in public. Much like Twitter handles direct messages without encryption, Mastodon messages aren\u2019t encrypted either.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mastodon privacy: you can\u2019t really opt out of search engine indexing<\/a><\/h3>\n
Jon Pincus, The Nexus of Privacy (privacy.thenexus.today)<\/p>\n
There are a lot of reasons people might not want their posts on a social network to be indexed by search engines. \u00a0 Too bad Mastodon’s “opt out” doesn’t actually opt you out.<\/p>\n
