FBI Seeks Real-Time Facebook, Google Wiretaps – Security – Privacy -

May 1, 2013 by Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

Should Facebook, Google and similar sites be forced to adapt their infrastructure so that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies can easily tap suspects’ communications in real time?

That’s the impetus behind new wiretap guidelines being drawn up by a government panel, according to the Washington Post.

The draft guidelines, championed by the FBI, would allow courts to impose escalating fines on any business that didn’t immediately comply with a court-ordered request for real-time communications interception, regardless of whether the Web service provider said such interception was technically feasible. Any business that fails to comply with the wiretap request could face fines that start at tens of thousands of dollars, then double daily after 90 days of noncompliance. The White House reportedly hasn’t yet signed off on the proposals.

WhatsApp, the mobile messaging platform who has seen a meteoric rise in the mobile space, is now handling more active users per month than Twitter and transferring more messages per day than Facebook. To put that in perspective, Twitter has 200 million users per month, and WhatsApp is sending more than 2 billion messages per day. These figures were revealed by Jan Koum of WhatsApp when speaking at a conference yesterday.

Use Secretbook to encode hidden messages in Facebook photos – TechSpot (Knight)

April 11, 2013 by Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

A browser extension called Secretbook allows anyone using Google Chrome to secretly embed a message in a JPEG image uploaded to Facebook. The contents of the 140 character message can only be viewed if you know the corresponding password, according to the program’s creator.

The extension was created by 21-year-old Oxford University computer science student (and former Google intern) Owen Campbell-Moore as part of a school project. Campbell-Moore said the goal of the two-month long project was to demonstrate that JPEG steganography can be performed on social media – a platform where it has previously been impossible.
