> JACK: French police were successfully able to plant malware on thousands of Encrochat users’ phones. > JACK: What the French authorities did here is astonishing. They hacked into the servers of this company to spy on its users. Well, yes, you can point out that most of the users were criminals. I still think this is controversial. Just because a company makes a privacy-focused secure phone doesn’t mean it’s just for criminals

yup, this is what i liked

I think you are new into whole "big brother spy on us" thing. I'm 40 and it's not a surprise to me

what was more fun wa HOW they hacked into the servers

Definitely not technical hacking way

urrrr, no? the thing i liked was what french authorities did

hahahah nope, it was technical

Technical hacking is extremely rare case these days with all these encryption technology, security by default and forced updates era

So, the French police got a warrant to access the data center and Encrochat’s server. They got into it and made an exact copy of it, and they left the server running untouched. This was the secret mission that they didn’t want Encrochat knowing about. They took their cloned copy back to the lab to study it. They learned how this server sends updates to Encrochat phones, and this gave them an idea. What if they could put their own update on the server that all phones would download? This could result in the French police having hooks in Encrochat phones. So, that was the plan that the French police went with. They studied this clone and figured out how the updates worked, and wrote some malware and even tested this with their clone to make sure that the phone got the updates and sent the data to the police sure bro every normal skid is able to do things without being detected like this, i bet your "underdeveloped" countries police don't even know how to do forensic imaging 😁

They do

oh, it is good to be ignorant, isn't it

as once a wise cryptographer has said, if cryptography was the strongest link in security there would be no need of such attention to cryptography and other areas that would get more benefit from that attention would be possible

lmao, ok, can you show any reference like the encrochat incident in those undeveloped countries, i doubt if something like encrochat even exists there 😁

In Myanmar, Kolkata, and Kochi, police frequently compel citizens to use counterfeit local cheap android devices pre-loaded with surveillance software

sure buddy but that is not similar to encrochat at all, encrochat phones weren't distributed by police nor were they pre loaded with surveillance software

Sure but my point is police has all the resources and power to do that in any country if they care

well ofc law and order is always lackluster in undeveloped countries but that isn't the case in france and nor did they abused any power if you have read the portiom of transcript i sent -_-

holy shit this dude is crazy

But... they have no bidet in France! How can you claim them to have any resources or advancement?

Sure they are advanced than alot of underdeveloped countries based on their track record

What crazy about it?

Oh I'd love some power abuse

yet another allegation falls :/

someone tell this guy paranoid guys don't hang out on telegram 😁

Isn't this group specifically about freebsd? :(

I love forks, but you can't eat soup with them

I would love to merge HardenBSD with Free

I honestly have no idea about the goals of FreeBSD

In which sense?

I honestly have no idea about the goals of FreeBSD

It's not so much about FreeBSD's, more about the contributor's

So FreeBSD is focused on contributors and OpenBSD is focused on security

OpenBSD's contributors are

Or they are just diverse?

Or they are just diverse?

I honestly have no idea about the goals of FreeBSD

This escalated quickly... Let's try not to loose focus on the topic of the cg

They are diverse, but there is a smaller number of them, again you don't expect Netflix to work on desktop stuff...

And Sony aint going to share any of their development so... Yeah, seems like desktop lacks some love
