CIA warning over Huawei
Telecoms giant accused of being funded by Chinese state security
A Chinese telecoms giant that wants to supply vital technology for Britain’s new 5G mobile network has received funding from branches of Beijing’s state security apparatus, the CIA has told spy chiefs.
American intelligence shown to Britain says that Huawei has taken money from the People’s Liberation Army, China’s National Security Commission and a third branch of the Chinese state intelligence network, according to a UK source.
The US shared the claims with Britain and its other partners in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance — Australia, New Zealand and Canada — earlier this year, with the UK entering the final stages of a wider review into its next generation mobile network rollout.
The funding allegation is the most serious claim linking the world’s largest telecoms equipment manufacturer to the Chinese state. Huawei insists that it is a private company that is independent of influence from the government and has repeatedly denied posing any security risks. Critics, however, warn that China’s laws oblige companies to co-operate with its security branches, and that “backdoors” could be built into software allowing it to spy on or disrupt British communications.

One of our most active users, voluntarily maintains a homepage for a small elementary school. In the course of this he downloaded a children's drawing from
clipartstation.com for a vacation article. The site advertises that all kinds of graphics can be used free of charge, so the user thought he had fulfilled his obligations to check the copyright. But the graphic is in truth by Robert Kneschke.The problem is that the site does not have an imprint. The English language links about privacy and copyright also lead to empty pages.

Clipartstation.com does not reveal any useful information, not surprisingly. Since everything is anonymous, thanks to GoDaddy, one must unfortunately assume that the operators do not usually take it so closely with copyright law. Whoever uses graphics from there should be prepared for possible disciplinary warnings!👀 👉🏼 Translated with DeepL:

Sudden New Warning Will Surprise Millions Of WhatsApp Users
A nasty new surprise for WhatsApp’s 2 billion users today, with the discovery of an alarming security risk. Using just your phone number, a remote attacker can easily deactivate WhatsApp on your phone and then stop you getting back in. Even two-factor authentication will not stop this. Here’s how the attack works.
This shouldn't happen. It shouldn't be possible. Not with a platform used by 2 billion people. Not this easily. When researchers, Luis Márquez Carpintero and Ernesto Canales Pereña, warned they could kill WhatsApp on my phone, blocking me from my own account using just my phone number, I was doubtful. But they were right.
“This is yet another worrying hack,” warns ESET’s Jake Moore, “one that could impact millions of users who could potentially be targeted with this attack. With so many people relying on WhatsApp as their primary communication tool for social and work purposes, it is alarming at what ease this can occur.”
Despite its vast user base, WhatsApp is creaking at the seams. Its architecture has fallen behind its rivals, missing key features such as multi-device access and fully encrypted backups. As the world’s most popular messenger focuses on mandating new terms of service to enable Facebook’s latest money-making schemes, these much-needed advancements remain “in development.”
