"We knew the Hansa servers were in Lithuania, so we sent an MLAT (mutual legal assistance treaty) request to Lithuania and requested if we could proceed with our planned actions in their country. They were very willing to help us in our investigations."

Okayy, this "very willing" part is going to deter me from hosting anything located in Lithuania any time soon

Wow Germany, mandatoory backdoors? And I had my hopes in you
Germany wants to backdoor cellphones, how is that not related to IT?

I pity Dale when NSA reads the article. Telling everyone that you have the whole snowden material? Mate, that's irresposible and stupid
But isn't now with signal that you have to wiretap it once and your are good to go since there are no sas every time?
Re:Android permissions and hypocrisy on Monday January 23, 2017 @12:47PM (#13464075)
Hi, i would like to draw the attention of you, the people with more expertise than I to another app that at least for me is more terrifying Xiaomi Mi Fit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiaomi.hm....), because it also takes all the intrusive permissions (modify system settings?!), but also takes all this info and combines it with your health data. Furthermore it is very hard to find it's privacy policy (I may have seen it once during registration in the app and it said "it's scattered around the terms and aggreements). This comment may be burried, but I hope at least someone, who's better in this than I will check it
What's interesting is that back in May, EU parliament has approved the directive to use pnr data for intelligence purposes, meaning that every air carrier has to trnsfer this data to law enforcement agencies (http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2016/...). Have i read too much Orvell or...?

Blackberry android phones does this. They patch phones the same day google nexus is patched or even earlier for beta program users. Still no one is buying them

Re:Tax authorities in Denmark buy 'Panama Papers' evidence on Friday September 30, 2016 @04:40AM (#12611214)
The Baltic states' tax authorities are to do the same. Heard a debate on the radio few days ago, with the host asking "is this even legal" and the chief of the tax authority responded: "and is this legal to evade taxes?"

How about this fix? Does it solve it? Https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3172729
Do you really own the same priv as i do? Because i sit with a superb phone on august 5th patch.

Dedicated Comma, dot, numbers keys? Buy a laptop. Or stay with priv, double-click alt and voila! Use all those buttons you named - write numbers and put comma in between without doing anything else.

I regret accidently upvoting your unsubstantiated rant

Man... I literally bought my PRIV just last week due to verified boot, hardware encryption and now i get this?

Selling my almost brand new PRIV. 450$. PM

Re:Chrome Cleanup Tool on Thursday January 28, 2016 @09:37AM (#10988355)
it's one the tools they teach you in forensics course, when they speak about "nasty anti-forensics done by criminals".

Source: attended some courses ;)

The title is misleading, since all the Baltic countries have basic income for like 20 years. If anyone's interested - in Lithuania it's 305euros, in Latvia 350, in Estonia, if i'm not mistaken it's something about 400
Re:Signal for Android: RedPhone and TextSecure in one app on Wednesday November 04, 2015 @03:41AM (#10505282)
Guys, cut with the negativity. I'm a crypto nerd as well, and with my other truly paranoid friends we use Chatsecure which does not require your number, is compatible with Tor, etc. However, my mom uses Signal, my father yesterday called me via Signal and he's fuckin' 67 years old. That is truly amazing and I admire Moxie et.al for the work they do.

Do you seem to forget that it is encryption for the masses. Not only for the few tin foils like myself. And even if it uses GCM, it's still an great, since i could never persuade my non-paranoid friends to contact me only via Chatsecure. They would say - "why the fuck can't you be like a normal person and use whatsapp or fb messenger?".

Re:Saying goodbye to encrypted SMS/MMS on Saturday March 07, 2015 @10:55AM (#9162059)
"occasionally being able to communicate securely with contacts that also use TextSecure Protocol clients."

"Occasionally" is not what I desire. Being abroad and not being able to use data due to huge roaming fees leaves me vulnerable something like 80-90days a year. Leaking metadata is still better than leaking the contents which is why I'm feeling rather skeptical about this decision

Re:Saying goodbye to encrypted SMS/MMS on Saturday March 07, 2015 @10:24AM (#9161968)
aggree 100%. Now all the features why I have downloaded textsecure back in the day, was to have strong crypto while traveling abroad (which is rather frequent), not to hide my metadata
Re:Saying goodbye to encrypted SMS/MMS on Saturday March 07, 2015 @10:19AM (#9161953)
Well that's disappointing. I have worked hard inviting my friends to textsecure, i used to tell them: "Textsecure is just a simple text messaging app but with encryption, why not to change your default one to this, what do you have to lose, you still can message all the others." Now, however, it's not going to be a simple text messaging app anymore, but just another Whatsapp + real crypto. Which is going to make wayyyy harder to convince new friends to switch. I can already hear them saying "why do i need this? it does use data, and i have facebook messenger, viber and whatsapp where all of my other friends are. Why do have to download this too for you alone"
seriously? no Vuze/Azureus fans?
