"- Webloc is a global geolocation surveillance system that monitors hundreds of millions of people based on data purchased from consumer apps and digital advertising. It was developed by Cobwebs Technologies and is now sold by its successor Penlink.
- In collaboration with the European investigative journalism platform VSquare, we reveal that Hungarian domestic intelligence has been using Webloc since at least 2022 and continues to use it as of today. Webloc customers also include the national police in El Salvador.
- U.S. customers include ICE, the U.S. military, Texas Department of Public Safety, DHS West Virginia, NYC district attorneys, and several police departments in Los Angeles, Dallas, Baltimore, Tucson, Durham and in smaller cities and counties like City of Elk Grove and Pinal County.
- Based on the responses to 96 freedom of information requests we conclude that governments in Europe and the U.K. are highly nontransparent about their potential use of ad-based surveillance.
- Cobwebs Technologies has links to the spyware vendor Quadream through Cobwebs Technologies founder Omri Timianker, who now oversees the international operations of Penlink.
- Webloc is sold as an add-on product to the social media and web intelligence system Tangles. Based on technical analysis and other sources we show that Tangles and other products developed by Cobwebs Technologies are used in many countries across the globe.
- We briefly investigate another Cobwebs product named Trapdoor that appears to help trick victims into revealing information. Our analysis leads us to believe that Trapdoor can help facilitate the deployment of malware on devices."

#notifications #privacy #cybersecurity

Leaders across the open source ecosystem gathered to discuss the priorities shaping AI agent development.
Four themes stood out: trust and identity, security and privacy, adoption in regulated industries, and the role of open source.

The direction is clear. Progress in AI must be supported by systems that are reliable, accountable, and grounded in human oversight.

I have an all-hands-on-deck call to action today.

At what point do we stop owning the things we buy, and just rent everything?

That's the #enshittification problem that the #RightToRepair movement is trying to address.

In Colorado, where we finally (just 3 months ago!) saw the nascent first awakening of a new right to repair law come in to effect, that infant could end up smothered in its crib this week, as the Colorado senate considers a bill that would roll back the right to repair for any device considered "critical infrastructure" - and yes, it is that vague in its wording.

https://www.404media.co/data-center-tech-lobbyists-fearmonger-in-attempt-to-retroactively-roll-back-right-to-repair-law/

If you care about whether we get to control and use (to whatever purpose we see fit) the things we buy -- including commercial servers, firewalls, routers, or other electronic gear -- then please consider signing on to this petition urging the Colorado legislature to reject the fearmongering and bad-faith arguments of the tech industry, who are making a desperate attempt to protect the long term revenue stream of support contracts.

Don't get angry; Get active. We can win this one with reasoned arguments. Please ask the Colorado legislature to not give in to FUD, and embrace Coloradans' resiliency and willingness to fight the good fight.

Sign the petition here:
