Arrested Russian Spies Used Steganography To Hide DataPrivacy and Identity Theft

11 alleged Russian spies have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States by not registering with the attorney general. 9 of these individuals have also been charged with money laundering. Details on the people arrested are here. One couple is based in Cambridge, MA.

The FBI says that these spies not only used encryption to protect data on their laptops and USB flash drives, but that they also are suspected of using proprietary Russian-build steganography software to hide data inside images and other files on their computers.

יום שני, בארה"ב. Supreme Court refused to consider a case on whether the Vatican has immunity over the sexual abuse of minors by priests, allowing a lawsuit filed in 2002 to go forward.

בהצהרה, the Vatican’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lena, said when the case returns to a U.S. district court it would show it cannot be held responsible for the actions of the priest as he was not a Vatican employee.

The decision not to hear the case is not a comment on the merits of our case,” Lena said, adding that the case would now go back to the district court in Oregon.

EU Could Ask Google, Bing To Hang On To Search Data Longer | MediaPost פרסומים

The watchdog group Privacy International will write to more than 200 European organizations this weekurging to fight the adoption, or a portion, of the EU proposed Written Declaration 29 intended to protect children. The directive aims to serve as part of an early warning system that fights against pedophiles and sex offenders, but points to incorporating stored search engine data to serve as an early warning signal.

Although the group commends the EU for the creating the Directive, the proposal raises several issues related to search data. Extending existing requirements to hold onto search data would violate EU regulations, בתור התחלה. Privacy International asserts that once authorities are able to store and analyze search records of all EU citizens, a window into their interests, associations and activities of tens of millions of people will have been opened.
