MEMORY LANE | Dozens of #Journalists’ #iPhones #Hacked with #NSO ‘#ZERO_CLICK’ #spyware, says #Citizen_Lab

The spyware was #silently_delivered, likely over #iMessage.

NSO #sells governments and nation states #access to its #Pegasus_spyware as a #prepackaged service by providing the #infrastructure and the #exploits needed to launch the spyware against the customer’s #targets.

But the spyware maker has repeatedly #distanced itself from what its customers do and has said it does not know who its customers target. Some of NSO’s known customers include #authoritarian_regimes.

#Saudi_Arabia allegedly used the #surveillance technology to spy on the #communications of columnist #Jamal_Khashoggi shortly before his murder, which U.S. intelligence concluded was likely ordered by the kingdom’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince #Mohammed_bin_Salman.

Citizen Lab said it also found #evidence that #Dridi, a journalist at Arabic television station #Al_Araby in #London, had fallen #victim to a zero-click #attack. The researchers said Dridi was likely targeted by the #UAE_government.

In a phone call, Dridi told TechCrunch that her phone may have been targeted because of her close association to a person of interest to the UAE.

Dridi’s phone, an iPhone XS Max, was targeted for a longer period, likely between October 2019 and July 2020. The researchers found evidence that she was targeted on two separate occasions with a zero-day attack.

#Hong_Kong, Aug 2 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Wednesday children under the age of 18 should be LIMITED to a MAXIMUM of TWO HOURS A DAY on their #smartphones, #sending shares in tech companies tumbling.

The #Cyberspace_Administration of #China #CAC) said it wanted #providers of #smart_devices to introduce so-called #minor_mode programmes that would #BAR #USERS UNDER 18 from #accessing the #internet on #mobile_devices from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

#Providers would also have to #set_time_limits under the proposed #reforms, the CAC said.

Users aged 16 to 18 would be #allowed two hours a day, children #aged eight to 16 would get #ONE_HOUR while children under eight would be allowed just eight minutes.

But the CAC said service providers should allow parents to opt out of the time limits for their youngsters.

Investors were not impressed.

Shares in Chinese tech firms mostly fell in afternoon trade in Hong Kong after the CAC published its draft guidelines, which it said were open to public feedback until Sept. 2.

Bilibili (9626.HK) and Kuaishou (1024.HK) slid 6.98% and 3.53% respectively while Tencent Holdings (0700.HK) , which operates the social network app WeChat, closed 2.99% lower.

#Hong_Kong, Aug 2 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Wednesday children under the age of 18 should be LIMITED to a MAXIMUM of TWO HOURS A DAY on their #smartphones, #sending shares in tech companies tumbling.

The #Cyberspace_Administration of #China #CAC) said it wanted #providers of #smart_devices to introduce so-called #minor_mode programmes that would #BAR #USERS UNDER 18 from #accessing the #internet on #mobile_devices from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

#Providers would also have to #set_time_limits under the proposed #reforms, the CAC said.

Users aged 16 to 18 would be #allowed two hours a day, children #aged eight to 16 would get #ONE_HOUR while children under eight would be allowed just eight minutes.

But the CAC said service providers should allow parents to opt out of the time limits for their youngsters.

Investors were not impressed.

Shares in Chinese tech firms mostly fell in afternoon trade in Hong Kong after the CAC published its draft guidelines, which it said were open to public feedback until Sept. 2.

Bilibili (9626.HK) and Kuaishou (1024.HK) slid 6.98% and 3.53% respectively while Tencent Holdings (0700.HK) , which operates the social network app WeChat, closed 2.99% lower.

* Most buyback numbers are based on announcements not transactions.

* The numbers don’t include "dilution" the additional shares sold to investors before or after the buyback.

* I investigated 1,274 firms that engaged in buybacks between 2009 – 2016 and found 60% of them had increases in their shares outstanding between 2004 – 2018.

#Apple SLAPPED with a $19 million #FINE in #BRAZIL for not selling #iPhones with a charger

Apple keeps on #losing court battles in Brazil over its decision to stop shipping iPhones with a charger. The São Paulo state court has ruled against the tech giant and slapped it with a 100 million real ($19 million) fine in a lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Consumers' Association, a group of borrowers, consumers and taxpayers. In addition, the court has ordered Apple to supply all customers in Brazil who purchased the iPhone 12 or 13 over the past couple of years with a charger, as well as to start including them with all new purchases. Apple, as you'd expect, told the news organization that it will appeal the decision.

According to Barron's, the judge in charge of the case called the non-inclusion of chargers in phone purchases an "abusive practice" that "requires consumers to purchase a second product in order for the first to work." Apple has been at odds with Brazilian authorities over the issue for a while now. In 2021, São Paulo consumer protection agency Procon-SP fined Apple around $2 million for removing the power adapter from the iPhone 12, telling the company that it was in violation of Brazil's Consumer Defense Code.

This September, the country's Ministry of Justice issued an order that bans Apple from selling iPhones that don't come with a charger. It also fined the company another $2.38 million and ordered the cancelation of iPhone 12's registration with Brazil's national telecoms agency. The tech giant is also appealing that decision.
