🚨 New advisory was just published!
A critical vulnerability in UNISOC modem firmware allows one User Equipment (UE) to remotely attack another over the cellular network.

I see people in here being smug about an OPSEC failure, and other people pointing out that "we only respond to local law enforcement requests" is a much bigger set than you might think, but it's all focused on what the individual can do to protect their privacy and anonymity against nosy state actors.
Most of the solutions proposed are either very insecure (mailing cash) or sufficiently technically complex to be out of the skill set of the average computer user.

I just got back home from @REverseConf . I had an amazing time, and I want to thank the organisers and all the people I met! The talks went great, and I was honoured to be part of the process of choosing and refining them. If you are thinking about where to submit next year, I highly recommend this event, in beautiful Orlando!

🥳 Court victory against Meta 🎉

But the fight isn’t over as Meta is still ignoring these rules in other European countries.
💪 We will keep pushing to make sure the law is respected everywhere.
