FBI Considered Buying NSO’s Phantom Spyware That Can Hack US Phones: Report

The Federal Bureau of Investigation spent two years considering whether it should procure a clandestine commercial spyware tool that could reportedly hack any phone within the United States, according to an investigation by New York Times Magazine.

That spyware system, dubbed “Phantom,” was offered secretly to U.S. government agencies by the NSO Group, Israel’s notorious cyberweapons distributor, over a multi-year period between 2019 and last summer. According to the Times, the potential business relationship was negotiated even as NSO increasingly became the subject of controversy, with critics accusing it of aiding human rights abuses in nations around the world.

The American government was reportedly interested in Phantom because NSO’s primary spyware, Pegasus, does not work on U.S. telephone numbers and therefore couldn’t be wielded in law enforcement investigations. The paper reports:

During a presentation to officials in Washington, the company demonstrated a new system, called Phantom, that could hack any number in the United States that the F.B.I. decided to target. Israel had granted a special license to NSO, one that permitted its Phantom system to attack U.S. numbers. The license allowed for only one type of client: U.S. government agencies.

Also interested in the company’s services were numerous other federal agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the U.S. Secret Service, and the U.S. military’s Africa Command, the newspaper reports. The FBI also purchased Pegasus from the NSO Group, the Times reports.

The bureau reportedly pursued negotiations with the company for at least two years. During that period, FBI and Justice Department lawyers continually sought to clarify whether deploying the product would violate domestic wiretapping laws. The agency only backed out last summer—around the time that a series of journalistic exposés caused global amounts of trouble for NSO by exposing the scale and scope of its malware’s penetration. Since that time, things have only gotten worse for the Israeli company, as the U.S. turned its back on any partnerships—even going so far as to

$60 device spoofs phantom objects and tricks self-driving cars into stopping

/in

A security researcher used a homemade $ 60 system to outsmart self-driving car lidar sensors that cost thousands; he was able to trick an autonomous vehicle into slowing down and even launched a denial of service attack on a self-driving car’s tracking system so that it came to a complete stop.

Lidar, a remote sensing technology, is most commonly known as the circular “eye” mounted on the roof of most self-driving cars; it acts somewhat like radar as the lasers spin around to scan the area and detect objects. Lidar devices come in various sizes and prices. The lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) market is estimated to be a one billion market by 2020; it’s not used exclusively for driverless cars as seen in recent news about autonomous golf carts and surveying drones. Yet Jonathan Petit, a principal scientist at Security Innovation, believes lidar sensors are “the most susceptible technologies” in self-driving vehicles.

Bitcoin exchanges buckle under strain of phantom transactions

/in

Bitcoincharts.com

Mt. Gox, Bitstamp, and other Bitcoin exchanges have temporarily suspended withdrawal transactions after coming under a form of a denial-of-service attack that abuses weaknesses in the way they keep track of fund balances, a security expert said.

The attacks don’t have any permanent effect on the central accounting mechanism for the digital currency, but they are likely the driving force behind a sharp decline in the bitcoin-to-dollar exchange rate over the past 48 hours. Since the attacks began on Monday, the price of one bitcoin on Mt. Gox has fallen from just below $ 700 to well below $ 540 at one point. It has see-sawed ever since and was at about $ 580 as this report was being prepared. Other exchanges showed similar fluctuations.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos, chief security officer of digital wallet developer Blockchain, said the attacks work by flooding exchanges with a large number of malformed transactions that are similar, but not identical, to legitimate transactions that were already made. Exchanges that trust one or more of the fake records instead of the entries in the official Bitcoin blockchain quickly fall out of sync with the rest of the network and must recalculate their fund balances once the mistakes become apparent. Malformed transactions aren’t necessarily new, but over the past 48 hours their numbers have mushroomed, causing logjams that have prevented some exchanges from being able to process withdrawal requests.
