An Android trojan detected by Russian security firm Dr.Web as Android.SmsSpy.88 evolved in the past two years from simple spyware to banking trojan, and now to a mobile ransomware threat.

First detected in April 2014, the trojan was initially distributed via SMS spam, and once it infected victims, it was capable of intercepting phone calls and SMS messages, usually used for two-factor authentication systems.   Continue reading “This Android Malware Steals Your Credit Card Details and Then Locks Your Phone”

The United Nations Security Council wants a global “framework” for censoring the Internet, as well as for using government propaganda to “counter” what its apparatchiks call “online propaganda,” “hateful ideologies,” and “digital terrorism.” To that end, the UN Security Council this week ordered the UN “Counter-Terrorism Committee” — yes, that is a real bureaucracy — to draw up a plan by next year.From the Obama administration to the brutal Communist Chinese regime, everybody agreed that it was time for a UN-led crackdown on freedom of speech and thought online — all under the guise of fighting the transparently bogus terror war.   Continue reading “UN Plots War on Free Speech to Stop “Extremism” Online”

How did it ever come down to abandoning peace keeping and accepting law enforcement by any means? Even the New York Times expresses alarm in, When the Police Go Military.

“The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally bars the military from law enforcement activities within the United States. But today, some local and city police forces have rendered the law rather moot. They have tanks – yes, tanks, often from military surplus, for use in hostage situations or drug raids – not to mention the sort of equipment and training one would need to deter a Mumbai-style guerrilla assault.”   Continue reading “The Psychotic Militarization of Law Enforcement”

Thanks to Shell oil company, a 2 mile by 13 mile sheen of oil is now visible in the sea about 97 miles off the Louisiana coast. This is a result of 88,200 gallons of crude oil leaking from the company’s pipeline that flows underwater, according to the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).

Reuters relays that the flow line was connected to four wells and Shell’s Brutus platform, which floats in seas that are about a half mile deep in the Green Canyon area of the Gulf. While it is believed that the sheen came from a release of oil from subsea infrastructure, authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident.   Continue reading “Shell Dumps THOUSANDS Of Barrels Of Oil Into Gulf Of Mexico”

The casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson told Donald J. Trump in a private meeting last week that he was willing to contribute more to help elect him than he has to any previous campaign, a sum that could exceed $100 million, according to two Republicans with direct knowledge of Mr. Adelson’s commitment.

As significant, Mr. Adelson, a billionaire based in Las Vegas, has decided that he will significantly scale back his giving to congressional Republicans and direct most of his contributions to groups dedicated to Mr. Trump’s campaign. The two Republicans familiar with Mr. Adelson’s plans spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.   Continue reading “Sheldon Adelson Is Poised to Give Donald Trump a Donation Boost”

An appeals court ruled on Friday that more than 6,000 pages of the so-calledSenate torture report cannot be made public because they consist of congressional records that are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, which only covers federal agencies.

The unanimous ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Washington made clear that records that Congress shares with federal agencies can’t be disclosed if there’s a “clear intent” by lawmakers “to control the document.”    Continue reading “American Public Is Not Entitled To See Full Senate Torture Report, Court Rules”
