Was HOTMAIL exposed?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 02:37 AM PDT

You probably have heard about recent "slip up" from American AT&T. As you know even when doing normal, everyday stuff your data and privacy might get exposed. Today it seems that "slip ups" do continue although countries and company involved are different.

According to news by TechWorld "Microsoft turned off HTTPS protection for Hotmail in Arab countries" and although "Microsoft denies intentional anti-privacy move, [and] fixes error" this sort of news are quite disturbing for quite a lot of people living in that region of world.

"Microsoft says it did not “intentionally limit” access to Hotmail’s HTTPS encryption service in foreign countries where freedom of expression is under attack."

Still a lot of people freedom may depend on how securely they can send and receive their e-mail correspondence. This is exactly why we advise strongly to all of you (regardless of your location and actual content of the data you send and receive) to consider adding extra features that will take care of your safety and privacy.

Jon Brodkin from TechWorld, also says after EFF:

"”Microsoft appears to have turned off the always-use-HTTPS option in Hotmail for users in more than a dozen countries,” calling the move “deeply disturbing. […] For Microsoft to take such an enormous step backwards, undermining the security of Hotmail users in countries where freedom of expression is under attack and secure communication is especially important, is deeply disturbing,” the EFF said.

Microsoft fixed the error in its email service later in the day Friday and denied it was an intentional move to limit privacy in any particular region of the world."

Syria, Morocco, Bahrain, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan and Algeria, countries where there have been recent anti-government protests, were among the affected countries, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The HTTPS option had also been disabled in Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan."

Please have a look here in order to choose the best method for yourself: Hide Ip Tools.

If you have any questions about reviewed "products" or have some other concerns with relation to security and privacy in the internet, please contact us and we will do our best to explain and advise you.

Remember (as it was stated in our "China" related post):

This happens all the time — the Internet is just not a trusted network.

How to hide ip: SmartPhone Security with Privacy Blocker


SmartPhone Security with Privacy Blocker

Posted: 29 Mar 2011 01:47 AM PDT

As smartphones are more and more popular these days we thought it would be good idea to  talk about ways of making them safer. Main problem with the smartphone (especially with open software philosophy like Android) is the software itself. Almost anyone can publish anything for user to download and install. This means you do not really have a proper control about applications, what they do exactly in your device and how do they interact with other applications and data on your phone. You probably heard about “Trojans in Android Market” in recent days. This means that you should really think before you install a new app from a small, unknown developer. Also, even after the purge in the market how can we be sure that new doggy software will not be introduced? That nothing has been left unnoticed? That stuff we already have in our phone is safe?

Well… simple answer is that you cannot be sure about any of those things. In order to help you stay more secure and more privet we would like to show you (thanks to an article at Android Authority) an application that might help with that.

Privacy Blocker (as it is advertised on the market) " is the only way to fully protect you and stop apps from gathering your personal information. Privacy Blocker reveals all your apps dirty secrets and then safely fixes them so you can still use your apps with an assurance of full protection. Keep your device safe and your personal information secure today!"

Privacy Blocker features:

  • Scan apps for problems
  • View details of your apps "dirty secrets"
  • Fix specific problems you don't want
  • Install and backup fixed apps
  • Send results via E-mail, Facebook and Twitter
  • Uninstall the unwanted app(s)

Before we will share with you our thought about this app, read what Android Authority has to say about it: "We, like many of you, are concerned somewhat whenever we install a new app and read the desired permissions. It's unbelievable that some apps "need" to know your phone number or that they "need" to know where I am located. All in all, we wouldn't recommend this for novice users, but it's still a great app. It has the potential to make some apps angry, because once they are "fixed", will cease to function without access to certain sets of data. We have no doubt that once the database of good and bad apps grows, this app will be nothing short of amazing."

Now, as much as we think idea for an application like this is truly great and the concept use full there is one thing that bothers us. (we do realize it will sound a bit paranoid but… one can never be sure) How do we know what is this application actually doing in/with our system and data? J Maybe it would be wise to do a bit more research before you click to install or give it a bit more time to see (by comments from other users) if it is actually working as advertised. Any way, we just wanted to make sure you know there are risks involved with an ownership of a modern phone and that there is a software that looks helpful, final decision is obviously yours to make.

How to hide ip: Your data are in China. No? Are you sure?


Your data are in China. No? Are you sure?

Posted: 24 Mar 2011 06:03 AM PDT

We have another proof that things what we are writing here about are real. That your IP, your data flow and your identity it is not something one can take lightly.

Everyone knows that it is important to use antivirus software. That browsing internet without one can be risky as your computer might get infected and someone might steal your data or even identity. A bit less people knows that it is quite useful to also use something called firewall. If their system has something like that as a default than they do have it, if not… well… chances for this extra bit are small. Now, when it comes to awareness of our data flow, we are talking disaster.

There is small group (well, maybe not that small but still it is not majority of users) who do realize that they need this third part of software to stay invisible. Most of the time these people use p2p networks, torrents and do know that it might not be that healthy for them to do it under their own IP address. They also know that best way to ensure no one knows what they are downloading/uploading and from/to whom is to encrypt their traffic. This allows them to stay hidden or access websites (with disguised IP from a different country) that are normally unavailable in their location.

But the truth is the majority of people who do not use torrents, do not try to access "geo blocked" websites even if told about the risks, that "the Internet is just not a trusted network" say: "Me? I do not need it. I only visit Facebook, send e-mails to friends… you know… normal stuff". Well, this does not matter. You are still at risk! You are always at risk and if you do not take care about it yourself than only you are to blame for trouble.

In recent days a lot of normal internet users (AT&T customers in this case but this might happen [and probably already did] to any ISP) who just wanted to access their accounts on Facebook did it but with a small detour of their unsecured data flow.

"Quietly this morning customers of AT&T browsing Facebook did so by way of China then Korea. Typically AT&T customers' data would have routed over the AT&T network directly to Facebook's network provider but due to a routing mistake their private data went first to Chinanet then via Chinanet to SK Broadband in South Korea, then to Facebook. This means that anything you looked at via Facebook without encryption was exposed to anyone operating Chinanet, which has a very suspect Modus operandi.

This morning's route to Facebook from AT&T:
route-server>show ip bgp 69.171.224.13 (Facebook's www IP address)
BGP routing table entry for 69.171.224.0/20, version 32605349
Paths: (18 available, best #6, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
Not advertised to any peer
7018 4134 9318 32934 32934 32934

  1. AT&T (AS7018)
  2. Chinanet (Data in China AS4134)
  3. SK Broadband (Data in South Korea AS9318)
  4. Facebook (Data back to US 32934)

Current route to Facebook via AT&T:
route-server>sho ip bgp 69.171.224.0/20
BGP routing table entry for 69.171.224.0/20, version 32743195
Paths: (18 available, best #6, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
Not advertised to any peer
7018 3356 32934 32934, (received & used)

  • Should Facebook and or AT&T have notified their customers that their personal information was flowing over a network that they may not trust?
  • Should Facebook enable SSL on all accounts by default?
  • Was this actually a privacy breach or just the way the Internet functions?
  • Does Facebook have an ethical responsibility to buy additional IP connectivity to major broadband and mobile networks to prevent routing mishaps?
  • Is it time to focus on new options within BGP to prevent high profile sites from routing to non-authenticated networks?

[...]

What could have happened with your data? Most likely absolutely nothing. Yet, China is well known for it's harmful networking practices by limiting network functionality and spying on its users, and when your data is flowing over their network, your data could be treated as any Chineese citizens'. Does that include capturing your session ID information, personal information, emails, photos, chat conversations, mappings to your friends and family, etc? One could only speculate, however it's possible.

[Simply, we do not know what China will do with data of thousands of users, we do not know what kind of information you might have been sending in your wall posts, messages, etc. The point is you should not worry about it. Since all of us use antivirus software and we do not expect our ISP to take care of it, why do we expect ISP's and web sites (random) we visit to secure our data if we do not care about it?]

This brings up a lot of questions:

This happens all the time — the Internet is just not a trusted network.Yet, I prefer to know that when I am on AT&T's network, going to US located sites, my packets are not accidentally leaving the country and being subject to another nation's policies. I guess that's why you should not use Facebook in "bareback" mode and use HTTPS (SSL) any time you can."

This might happen to anyone, anywhere. What will be the outcome? Who knows? If big ISP's have problems and make mistakes like that what about millions of free Wi-Fi hotspots around the world? Are you sure it is always a good guy who provides the access to the internet? Are sure no one is trying to monitor the traffic and read send and received packages?

Solution:

Try to use secure connections on any device you use to browse internet. Try to encrypt data flow, if your ISP will have a problem with monitoring your activity than so do the bad guys. Be extra careful about "free" services like VPN and proxy – remember, nothing is free! For servers like this someone has to pay… for equipment, traffic, etc…

Use well known, commercial VPN providers. They will hide your IP, encrypt your traffic and help you maintain high level of security and anonymity when you browse internet. Be smart.
