CIA used second Swiss encryption firm to spy on governments – report

December 10, 2020 - encryption company based in Zug, Switzerland, following revelations that it was owned and controlled by the CIA and its German counterpart, the Federal Intelligence Service or Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND).

The inquiry found that encryption weaknesses added to products sold by Crypto AG allowed the CIA and the BND to eavesdrop on adversaries and allies alike, all while earning millions of dollars from sales.

"It was the intelligence coup of the ...

End-to-end encryption debate draws attention to child sex abuse

October 16, 2020 - encryption is in place across all Facebook properties.

NCA Director Robert Jones said: "The lights go out, the door gets slammed, and we lose all of that insight. It is as simple as that. "And nothing, you know we're relying on the best technical expertise... in the UK, the same people that keep the UK safe against terrorists, hostile states, cyber attacks, are telling us there is no viable alternative. I believe them. And I am deeply concerned."

Signal messaging app threatens exit from Europe amid Brussels’ war on encryption

October 07, 2025 -

In a dramatic standoff over digital privacy, encrypted messaging app Signal has warned it will pull out of Europe entirely rather than comply with an European Union proposal that would force companies to break their own encryption.

The controversial legislation would require platforms like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram to scan every message in real time before encryption via a backdoor system. While the proposal has been framed ...

Florida lawmakers reject encryption backdoor bill that can be exploited by criminals

May 18, 2025 -

Florida lawmakers have rejected a controversial bill that would have required social media companies to create encryption backdoors for law enforcement.

The defeated bill, Senate Bill 868/House Bill 743 (Social Media Use By Minors), sought to compel platforms to provide decryption mechanisms for law enforcement with a warrant, grant parents access to private messages of minors and ban minors from using disappearing messages. (Related: Florida's ...

The Crypto AG Scandal: How American and German spy agencies turned encryption into espionage

April 08, 2025 -

For decades, governments around the world trusted the encryption devices sold by Crypto AG, a Swiss company renowned for its precision engineering and cutting-edge technology. What they didn't know was that many of those machines were rigged.

Revelations in February 2020 confirmed long-running suspicions: Crypto AG was secretly owned and controlled by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the German Federal Intelligence Service ...

Privacy under siege: Europol and the UK Crime Agency target encryption, call for backdoors

April 30, 2024 -

(Article by Didi Rankovic republished from ReclaimTheNet.org)

Here we have Europol (EU’s law enforcement agency) and the supposedly “divested” from the EU shenanigans via Brexit UK – but is it really? – and that country’s National Crime Agency (NCA), teaming up to attack Meta for dozens and dozens of reasonable reasons, but for the one thing the company is apparently trying to do right.

And that’s implementing in its products end-to-end encryption (E2EE), ...

Leaked documents: Socialist Spain wants the EU to ban all end-to-end encryption

May 26, 2023 - encryption to find illegal material.

This proposed EU-wide legislation would be the culmination of a debate within the bloc that has been ongoing for years on whether end-to-end encrypted communication platforms like WhatsApp and Signal should be protected as a way for Europeans to exercise a fundamental right to privacy even if such protections would interfere with law enforcement investigations.

New hardware vulnerability discovered in Apple’s M chips that allows attackers to steal encryption keys from Macs

March 31, 2024 -

The latest is a new bug that researchers have found in the Apple M1, M2 and M3 chipset. Known as the GoFetch vulnerability, it is part of the computer’s CPU. This means that unless you change the computer’s CPU itself, it is essentially unpatchable. It allows for side-channel cache-based memory attacks wherein a process can read the data from another process and leak information. The vulnerability is highly sophisticated and is related to the Data Memory-dependent Prefetcher ...

EXCLUSIVE: Why Google’s “quantum supremacy” means the end of encryption security for cryptocurrency, military, finance and personal communications

September 22, 2019 - encryption. For example, it might take your desktop PC 10 seconds to encrypt a file, but breaking that encryption on another desktop PC might take 10 billion years (depending on the number of encryption bits and other factors).

However, quantum computing makes this roughly symmetrical, meaning the difficulty of encrypting a file is roughly symmetrical to the difficulty of breaking the encryption using quantum computing (qubits).

What ...

IT’S HERE: D-Wave announces 2048-qubit quantum computing system, theoretically capable of breaking all classical encryption, including military-grade

September 24, 2019 -

As the number of qubits (quantum bits) in quantum computers exceeds the number of bits used in classical encryption, it renders that encryption practically pointless. A 256-qubit quantum computer, in other words, can easily break 256-bit encryption. A 512-bit qubit computer can break 512-bit encryption, and so on.

Those of us who are the leading publishers in independent media have long known that government-funded tech advancements ...

China leaps ahead of USA on quantum computing research; could spell end to encryption, demolishing crypto currencies and national security

October 31, 2017 - encryption technologies, including those used to power cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, experts warn that these could eventually become obsolete. At the same time, this type of quantum computing technology has the potential to allow for the breaking of "obsolete" forms of encryption "within seconds."

To quote Australian-born mathematician and chief executive of Symantec Corporation, a global cybersecurity company headquartered in Mountain View, California, ...

Flaw in Wi-Fi routers leaves over ONE BILLION devices open to hacking

February 28, 2020 -

ESET researchers have officially tagged the flaw as CVE-2019-1526, but have also given it the nickname "Kr00k." The flaw, which affects devices using Wi-Fi chips made by Cypress and Broadcom, causes vulnerable devices to use an all-zero encryption key. With this, hackers can easily read data being sent from these devices.Hacking with an all-zero encryption key

To communicate, wireless chips send data out in chunks called packets. To keep hackers from ...

Florida’s social media laws spark debate over minors’ privacy and digital safety

April 15, 2025 - encryption efficacy and government overreach. House Speaker Paul Renner defended the measures, stating, “We’re going to triumph over this and we’ll never back down,” but critics argue the policies risk destabilizing digital security for all users.Florida's dual approach: Banning under-14s while demanding encryption backdoors

Apple scrapped plan to encrypt iCloud backups after FBI complaint

March 09, 2022 -

The bureau feared that encrypting files that are uploaded to iCloud by iPhone users would hinder law enforcement investigations. The complaint reportedly emerged a few years ago when Apple was working on the encryption, and the tech giant complied with the FBI’s request and kept silent about it to avoid scrutiny. Current and former FBI officials and Apple employees have all confirmed the story.

At the time, Apple had informed the FBI that it would be offering ...

U.K. demands Apple build global backdoor, threatening privacy worldwide

February 11, 2025 -

In a stunning move that could redefine the boundaries of privacy and government surveillance, the United Kingdom has secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor into its encrypted cloud storage, granting British authorities unprecedented access to user data worldwide. This demand, issued under the U.K.’s controversial Investigatory Powers Act of 2016 — dubbed the “Snoopers’ Charter” — marks a significant escalation in the global battle over encryption, ...
