Feed The Children president Larry Jones fired

…

The board did not disclose in its statement why Jones was fired. His attorney said Jones was dismissed over his decision last April to place hidden microphones in three executives’ offices.

Jones has denied wrongdoing, insisting he only intended to record his own conversations with executives who had twisted his statements before. The owner of the company that installed the microphones told police the recorder never worked and the microphones were later removed.

Parents need tools to check on teens

This is in response to Chuck Goudie’s article on teenage texting. Goudie says, “Once upon a time it was easy to eavesdrop on your teenagers and check their pockets or backpacks for incriminating notes.” Maybe. But it’s not too difficult to do some electronic eavesdropping.

Cell phone service providers often offer a plan for parents of teens in which it is remarkably easy to see whom your kid is texting or calling and at what hours.

Our plan allows us to turn our teen’s cell phone off for certain hours (let’s say, the middle of the night). Another tool is a calling circles plan, which allows unlimited calls only to certain numbers that your teen would pick – such as home, our cell phones, a few friends, and the significant other.

Aydınlık raid reveals Ergenekon wiretapped several people

Sound recordings of the phone conversations of a number of prominent figures from various circles — including the prime minister, Cabinet members, journalists and mayors — have been found on CDs seized in a recent police raid at the offices of the Aydınlık newsweekly, as part of the investigation into Ergenekon, a clandestine organization charged with plotting to overthrow the government.

Police raided the offices of Ulusal Kanal TV station and the Aydınlık newsweekly — a publication put out by the Workers’ Party (İP), whose leader, Doğu Perinçek, is an Ergenekon suspect — over alleged links to the criminal network on Monday. The police reportedly acted on the Aydınlık’s latest cover story, which included a 2004 phone conversation between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) President Mehmet Ali Talat, on the suspicion that Ergenekon had wiretapped Erdoğan. Police found recordings of phone conversations Erdoğan had between 1999 and 2004 on a CD seized during the raid.

There were also recordings of İstanbul Mayor Kadir Topbaş; Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek; ministers Ali Babacan, Hilmi Güler, Egemen Bağış and Cemil Çiçek; businessman Remzi Gür; former UN Special Envoy to Cyprus Alvaro De Soto; aide to Prime Minister Erdoğan Cüneyd Zapsu; and journalists Murat Yetkin and Hakan Aygün.

Additionally, documents seized in a police raid in March at the home of Mustafa Özbek, the jailed chairman of workers’ union Türk Metal, revealed that the Ergenekon terrorist organization established two main centers in the KKTC and Ankara to wiretap conversations, including those of politicians and businessmen. Özbek was arrested in late January as part of the ongoing investigation into Ergenekon, which stands accused of multiple assassinations and attacks designed to trigger an eventual military takeover, working through its links to the state, including the military, the judiciary and the media.

Gold Lock Enterprise VS Skype

Skype uses SSL which uses electronic certificates and 128 bit encryption (standard for credit card transactions online also) This level of encryption is NOT appropriate for even top secret level communications. How many times have credit card numbers been stolen online?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security

128-bit 2^128 2 multiplied by 2 128 times over. = 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (give or take a couple trillion…).

Gold Lock Enterprise uses 4 different encryption methods. One of which is 16,384 Bit Authentication. That is 2 multiplied by 2, 16,384 times over (not just 128 times). This method IS appropriate for top secret level communications. Enterprise uses 16,384 Bit Authentication Elliptic Curve 384 Bits (RSA 7680 Bits Equivalent) AES 256 Bits Diffie Hellman 4096 Bits

AES – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard Top Secret appropriate

RSA – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA Top Secret appropriate

Diffie Hellman – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman_key_exchange Top Secret appropriate

In addition to this technical “stuff” the facts remain that Skype provides a key to governments for lawful interception (which means all the security in the world in now a mute point) and  Skypes 128 bit encryption has been broken, and hackers now easily intercept their calls.

http://sigillu.wordpress.com/category/technologies/skype/

As you can see Enterprise has significantly higher encryption capabilities than Skype. Skype encrypts just enough to satisfy their customers. Gold Lock takes pride in having the best and highest encryption software on the market. Gold Lock Enterprise is a military grade encryption software. No military uses Skype to relay orders or pass top secret information.

Demos to show spying on mobile IP calls

This screen shot shows the user interface of UCSniff. The user can listen in on a conversation and see the video of two people talking on an IP-based video phone. The two video screens show what each of the video phones is displaying.

Hotspot sniffer eavesdrops on iPhone in real-time

…

“As the private call is in progress, we can see and hear what is happening,” said Jason Ostrom, a developer of UCSniff and director of Viper Labs, the research arm of security firm Sipera Systems. “There’s real-time violation of confidentiality.”

In addition to monitoring voice conversations as they happen, UCSniff can also bug video conferences in real time. Ostrom said he and fellow Viper Labs researcher Arjun Sambamoorthy plan to show those capabilities at Toorcon as well.

With the proliferation of iPhones and other smartphones, plenty of businesses and individuals have sought to save money on roaming charges by routing calls over the internet instead of over carrier networks. Adam Boone, a vice president at Sipera, said one large, unnamed client logs more than 1 million minutes per month in such VoIP calls.

The problem, he added, is that many of the iPhone apps for VoIP calls don’t provide encryption capabilities, making the conversations ripe for eavesdropping. (Sipera plans to unveil a new product to protect such users next week).

Common VoIP Protocols Defeated

Recent reports have surfaced that have revealed weaknesses in the ever-popular Google Voice and Skype protocols.  These weaknesses have allowed attackers to eavesdrop on third party calls and make unauthorized calls using another person’s account.

Such a vulnerability in a service as popular as this is highly concerning, but the attacks have been proven to work according to many different sources, and also the Slashdot website.  It would seem that we are now looking at two protocols, which remained secure for a long time, which now have a major vulnerability that calls into question the whole security of the architecture.

Any organization that is reliant on Google voice or Skype should now be asking themselves the question: “is it really safe for my company”? Even though according to both companies, the vulnerabilities have been fixes the truth is once a major weakness is exposed it can be very hard to trust it again.

Certainly, the fact that these technologies have been breached must be a concern for both organizations and individuals that are dependent on secure calls.  However, what alternatives are available and how do people utilize them?

One can avoid the dangers of integrating non secure solutions from Skype, Google Voice, or other non secure VOIP systems into organizations infrastructure and instead utilize technologies, which are tested, and proven more secure.

Skype tapping program code released

A software developer who designed a way to tap and record calls made on Skype and other VoIP networks has made the source code of the spying program public, a move he said will allow other programmers to build workarounds to the potential threat. The programmer, Ruben Unteregger, was tasked by his former company ERA IT Solutions to write a Trojan horse program that could tap VoIP calls for the Swiss government.

Apparently, the program bypassed Skype’s heralded encryption process, one that has vexed security officials in Europe multiple times.

In a translated interview, Untregger discussed his rationale for releasing the code.

“The code will be published, it will get analyzed as soon as the binaries got uploaded, signature patterns will be created by anti-virus companies, the malware will be detected, blocked and deleted, if it tries to infect a system,” Untregger said.

Untregger’s motives appear to be genuinely in the interest of private citizens and enterprises that use VoIP services like Skype, as the publicizing of the code makes its use by security agencies redundant, according to a Computer World report. However, making this code available could have negative repercussions if hackers can use it to build even more powerful tapping programs. Other instances of Skype hacking, such as China’s purported monitoring of dissident communication via VoIP programs, gives one pause when considering the public availability of such information.
