40% of Android phones have modem vulnerability allowing an attacker to listen in to your calls

A vulnerability discovered by security firm Check Point Research (via AndroidPolice) could allow a malicious app to skip the usual security features giving it access to call and text history. It also gives an attacker the ability to record conversations. 

The Qualcomm Modem Interface (QMI) software is normally impossible for third-party apps to access, but if key aspects of Android are hacked, the QMI vulnerability can be used to listen in and record an active phone call, and as we already pointed out, steal call and SMS records.

QMI is used on as much as 40% of Android handsets including those made by Google, Samsung, OnePlus, LG, Xiaomi, and more. Check Point kept certain information out of its report to make sure that the attack can not be easily copied. There is no indication that the attack has been used by a malicious hacker.

Check Point revealed all of this to Qualcomm last October calling it a high-rated vulnerability. The chip maker told the phone manufacturers that use Qualcomm's modem chips. So far, the vulnerability has not been fixed and we can only hope that Qualcomm and Google will patch this in a future security update.

However, Qualcomm says that it did made fixes available to "many" Android phone manufacturers last December and that these firms passed along security updates to end users. The vulnerability will be part of the June Android bulletin.

Qualcomm issued a statement today that said, "Providing technologies that support robust security and privacy is a priority for Qualcomm. We commend the security researchers from Check Point for using industry-standard coordinated disclosure practices. Qualcomm Technologies has already made fixes available to OEMs in December 2020, and we encourage end users to update their devices as patches become available."

Apple found in breach of EU competition law over unfair App Store tax policy

Apple are tax cheats/evaders, yet they have the to audacity to obtain tax from their loyal customers to obtain an unfair advantage.

The 'problem' there is that governments worldwide do not address this matter appropriately, i.e. by issuing multi-billion dollar fines.

If the stance is nonfeasance against their tax dodging actions, then they are obviously supporting them, where the offset is mopped up by the tax slaves, that being the general population.

For privacy reasons we do not recommend the purchase or use of Apple products.

Who 'owns' the World?

Monopoly - Follow The Money:

The Pentagon gave a company control of 175 million IP addresses

The US military has turned to an unusual strategy to check for security holes in its networks: it's giving up some power over a key internet resource. Kentik and the Washington Post have learned that the Defense Department gave Florida startup Global Resource Systems control of roughly 175 million IPv4 addresses. The company started managing the long-dormant addresses on January 20th, but that number grew quickly over the next three months.

Brett Goldstein, the director for the Pentagon's Defense Digital Service, told the Post that the move was part of a "pilot effort" to study and prevent unauthorized use of the military's IP addresses. It would also help spot "potential vulnerabilities," Goldstein said.

The Defense Department stressed that it still owned the IP addresses.

It's unclear exactly what officials hope to accomplish, though, and the company itself is mysterious. GRS only established itself in September 2020, and it doesn't even have a public website. Kentik's Doug Madory suggested that a data flood directed at the IP addresses could help the military gather information on threats or exploits. And when some Chinese companies use similar IP address numbering schemes for their internal networks, there's a chance some of their data could be directed to the US.

Whatever the reasoning, it could be an important move. The military might use knowledge from the pilot to prevent hostile governments or cybercriminals from hijacking dormant IP addresses. This also makes sure the US can manage the IP addresses so that it can use them if it likes, a Post source said. As odd as this move is, then, it might be important in light of the SolarWinds hack and other threats to government systems.

Australia's mainstream media lies EXPOSED

Regarding today's global situation, the mainstream media has been conning the Australian people.

They even brought in the heavies, the big guns of propaganda, i.e. 60 minutes to uphold the lie.

Liz Hayes and Richard Wilkins should be up for the BEST ACTING award in Australia's 'entertainment' industry.

See the dissection of the lies within the video:

Apple's FAKE privacy promise, Apple is terrible for your privacy

Apple and the mainstream media are conning you (the consumer) that Apple is 'for' privacy.

Quite on the contrary, Apple is against your privacy.

Apple is another data collection 'agency'.

Daniel Andrews’ secret midnight deal

Andrews the dominant one in this handshake.

It’s not what’s done from 9 to 5, but rather from 5(pm) – 9(am).

While you were sleeping Andrews was out sneakily doing a dodgy ‘money for mates’ deal , and some people are NOT amused.

It might be out in the sticks, but it’s not out of sight, at least for those who are watching.

We’ve obtained information through a confidential source that the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is at it again doing secret deals with his long time mates, one of which is a good ol’ geriatric one, where we’ll call him Gerry.

There’s going to be a major development where a money for mates deal will be cemented in by the Victorian Premier, very soon.

Every year Victorian taxpayers overpay millions of dollars in falsified tenders by the Andrews government.

Jobs and portfolios are given to friends and relatives of the Andrews family at huge expense of the Victorian taxpayers.

As we know his ‘belt and road’ agreement, was beyond his power, and as a result torn up, as reported by the mainstream media.

Everything is legal, until you get caught, right Andrews?

Well maybe, maybe not.

At the end of the day there should be a royal commission into ‘money for mates’ scams where people in power abuse their ‘privileges’ in office, but concealing criminal actions of those in government is a favourite action by those in charge of this colony.

EXPOSED! Australian Government hiding Singapore treaty?

There are plenty of 'things' that the Australian Government hides from the people that finance it.

Just one of them is paedophiles in government, with a 90 year suppression order.

With regards to future military action against the good people of Australia, the CEO's of the corporation aggregate we call government have hidden the fact that a treaty with Singapore is in play in order to deploy troops on our soil, for the purpose of mass injecting the general population by force?

The real reason why Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate was ousted

The Australian people are misled into believing that the CEO of the franchise called Australia Post

was publicly humiliated because of the luxury watches ‘scandal’.

BUT, you see the watches were approved as they were part of the deal.

The real reason is a bit more sinister, which involves the wrath of the ‘brotherhood’*.

The rest of Australia Post was to be sold off, where a key 100 post offices were on the chopping block in order to cripple the service, necessitating the sale, where a lot of money was to be made, something that Ms. Holgate was opposed to.

When these backroom deals make it into the public arena, it is done on purpose to show others that any actions of opposition will have consequences for the person or persons opposing the plan.

The brotherhood has usurped a nation where there is no longer a separation of powers meaning in reference to the three tiers of government that being the executive, parliament and judicature.

They are in control and literally above the law, as they make it for the benefit of their brethren.

* Brotherhood – irrespective of the ‘technicality' that being whether it’s the Freemasons, Fabians  the Hillsong cult or even the Cosa Nostra, it's the group of people that the law does not apply to, well not the public law.
