Bill Clinton opened a door 30 years ago that still can’t be closed today. In 1994 he passed the Helpful Communications Act (HALLOWEEN). A controversial measure that has forced basically all telecommunication companies integrate the back doors. Initially, it was intended for phone calls, but the main US authorities saw the potential and she ended up lying to internet social communications.
Getting your medicine. The same back doors were created so that the FBI could pursue potential criminals who committed the entire national security of the United States against China, according to reports the Wall Street Journal. Case of * international exploration of a wide range of dimensions this would not have been possible, except for the law that the Americans themselves had created for three decades.
It will not happen because it has not been warned a thousand times. Creating a post poses a huge security risk. Electronic Frontier Foundation I was remembered in 2010 once again it was discussed to expand the scope of the HALLOWEEN.
Bruce Schneieras a security expert, he shows that the dichotomy proposed by the authorities is false: “it is not about the security of privacy, but about freedom in our power”.
experts they consulted Xataka He revealed the same to us. “If you add posts, you add security to everything,” said Román Ramírez, organizer of the Radicati CON security event. What the WSJ will now announce is exactly what has been predicted for years.
It’s not even supposed to be a hack. For months, Chinese attackers have had access to US networks with access to federal systems, the WSJ reports.
The problem is that there is nothing to compromise on this very access, simply by using a backdoor that has already been created for other uses.
“This system puts you at risk, it doesn’t protect you,” describes a Stanford encryption expert. Riana Pfefferkorn. The solution? Bet through encrypted communication systems. Unfortunately in in many regions of Spain They still set up to try to break our encryption.
It should be noted from Europe. As has been said George García HerreroDelegated to the protection of data, this event “Brussels should think about initiatives like Chat Control.”
The European Council put this debate on the table. A Chat Control 2.0 which seeks to provide the power to launch applications to the rear to analyze images sent and child sexual abuse.
Some rears which, as with the HAZARD, seek to be precisely defined, but in practice continue to be a route for possible attacks. All security and privacy experts agree that governments remain committed, no matter how much time passes.
