Spyware Vendors Caught Exploiting Zero-Day Vulnerabilities on Android and iOS Devices.

#Information_is_Power . #we_inform_the_uninformed . Read more here in the link. A number of zero-day vulnerabilities that were addressed last year were exploited by commercial spyware vendors to target Android and iOS devices, Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) has revealed. The two distinct campaigns were both limited and highly targeted, taking advantage of the patch gap between the release of a fix and when it was actually deployed on the targeted devices. The scale of the two campaigns and the nature of the targets are currently unknown. “These vendors are enabling the proliferation of dangerous hacking tools, arming governments that would not be able to develop these capabilities in-house,” TAG’s Clement Lecigne  said  in a new report. “While use of surveillance technologies may be legal under national or international laws, they are often found to be used by governments to target dissidents, journalists, human rights workers, and opposition party politicians.” The first of

Details of the malware were  first documented  by Cyble earlier this month. However, there are indications that the malware may have been used in real-world attacks as early as June 2022, at least six months b

Hold On, You Will Not Enjoy Using Your USB-C Charger with the iPhone 15 and This is Why.

The news is all over and almost every fan of Apple products is aware of it. But don’t get too excited yet, this is Apple we are talking about. A company that always wants to find a different way of doing everything. As you may already know, it was not entirely Apple’s decision to opt for USB-C ports.  The company  is just trying to comply with a new regulation by EU which requires all electronic devices to use the same type of charging ports. Apple will Restrict the Charging and Data Transfer Speed in iPhone 15 USB-C Ports According to  Apple  Analyst Kuo, Apple will restrict the advantages of using the USB-C in the iPhone 15 series. Apple will restrict the charging speed and data transfer speed of the USB-C to work with only MFI-certified chargers and cables. MFI here stands for Made for iPhone, iPad etc.

Is Your EV Charging Station Safe? New Security Vulnerabilities Uncovered.

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Two new security weaknesses discovered in several electric vehicle (EV) charging systems could be exploited to remotely shut down charging stations and even expose them to data and energy theft. The findings, which come from Israel-based SaiFlow, once again demonstrate the potential risks facing the EV charging infrastructure. The issues have been identified in version 1.6J of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) standard that uses WebSockets for communication between EV charging stations and the Charging Station Management System (CSMS) providers. The current version of OCPP is 2.0.1. “The OCPP standard doesn’t define how a CSMS should accept new connections from a charge point when there is already an active connection,” SaiFlow researchers Lionel Richard Saposnik and Doron Porat said. “The lack of a clear guideline for multiple active connections can be exploited by attackers to disrupt and hijack the connection between the charge point and t
