Police agencies across the U.S. have deployed Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) to capture images of passing vehicles along with time, date, and GPS coordinates. While the technology itself isn’t new (ALPRs have existed in various forms for more than 50 years, and in the U.S. since 1998), the surveillance landscape has shifted dramatically. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and national data sharing hav…
The company is suspending the feature after security researchers discovered how easy it was to access sensitive information shared with the AI assistant.
A data breach exposed AfD emails, while an anonymous site published AI summaries of 421,000 messages, raising questions about authenticity and privacy. Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) confirmed on October 19 that its hosting provider was hacked in September and that mailboxes were copied. By the time the confirmation reached Bild, a website called hexane.cc […]
Despite Illinois’ sanctuary laws, local police in and around Chicago helped ICE investigative agents track activists engaged in First Amendment–protected activities.

That ad you just scrolled past on your phone but barely spared a look or click? It could be tracking your movements and collecting your data, without you having to do a thing. This “zero-click mercenary spyware,” dubbed “AdFection,” is increasingly exploiting a sprawling online advertising ecosystem ripe for abuse, according to researchers at The Citizen Lab. One top actor in the space, Discover-Tech, runs the Contro…
Barry Steinhardt, a lifelong privacy champion and an early leader in the battle for digital civil liberties who served as EFF’s president in 1998-99, died last week at age 73. A Connecticut native, Steinhardt led the Vermont and Pennsylvania affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union before becoming associate director of the national ACLU. There, he helped spearhead the fight to overturn much of the Communicati…
No one should have to choose between speaking freely and protecting their immigration status. Yet that’s precisely the choice the Trump administration’s mass surveillance of online speech forces on noncitizens living in the U.S. Last fall, we sued on behalf of three major labor unions to stop this surveillance program. And just this month, we won our first major ruling: A federal district court denied the government’…
Powerful zero-click spyware is infected devices worldwide through targeted ads, new research shows — an alarming development in the spread of surveillance technology.
Citizen Lab has uncovered targeted advertising campaigns that infected devices at Al Jazeera with Candiru spyware without requiring users to click anything. The researchers call the technique “AdFection” and describe their findings as the first public technical confirmation of mercenary spyware delivered through targeted ads. The investigation identifies Israeli advertising company Discover-Tech as the intermediary ……
Session says it has implemented the core cryptography for its Protocol v2 upgrade, moving the decentralized messenger closer to perfect forward secrecy, post-quantum encryption, and stronger controls over linked devices.

Reports generated from the scanning of EU users’ private communications are analyzed using Palantir’s Foundry software at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), according to an investigation by Swedish newspaper Dagens ETC. The findings raise questions about transparency and safeguards around sensitive data transferred to the United States, although NCMEC says Palantir … The post Flagged EU cha…
Spyware vendors use online ad infrastructure to profile targets and deliver exploits without requiring users to click anything. The investigation links Discover-Tech to Candiru, an Israeli spyware vendor that the US government placed on its Entity List in 2021. Candiru has since used the name Integrity Labs. Citizen Lab also identified links involving other surveillance […]
Infostealer intelligence has become one of the important tool in cybersecurity as malware has become one of the most efficient tools in a cybercriminal's kit. A single infected laptop can leak saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill data, and enough machine details for an attacker to impersonate the user outright. Stolen session cookies are especially damaging because they let intruders skip multi-factor authentic…
