| title | Video - LastPass vs KeePass vs 1Password: Password Managers pt 1, Basic Step-by-Step Tutorial |
| body | <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RnrXM5mdvcs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> In today’s video, I compare LastPass, KeePass, and 1Password password managers. I don’t recommend LastPass, but I do show you how to download and use KeePass and 1Password. It can be difficult for a non-techie to know where to start when thinking about taking back your digital privacy. There is no one right answer because privacy isn’t a switch that is either on or off; it’s a sliding scale – sometimes you’re more private based on your digital habits…and sometimes you’re less. So anywhere you can improve your digital habits is a step toward taking back your privacy. One of the places I like to start with new people learning about these tools for the first time is with password managers. Passwords are fundamental to securing access to the various applications we use, whether they be websites or programs running on our computers. Yet most people that I know use extremely weak passwords (8 characters or less), and they reuse the same password across all their applications. Hacking software readily available to everyone can brute force guess a password of 8 characters or less within a matter of seconds to within a few minutes, and if that password is reused across many sites, then the hacker has access to, essentially, your entire digital life. A password manager allows you to use randomly generated, unbreakable passwords (30 characters or more) without ever having to worry about taking up brain space to remember them – simultaneously increasing privacy, security, and convenience. Password managers even allow you to randomize your account usernames (if the site or application will allow you to use something other than your e-mail address), which greatly increases your account security because the username is 50% of the information a hacker needs to access your data. Using a password manager means only having to remember one good password instead of dozens of weak ones. And the great thing is that it is easy for human beings to create very memorable passwords that are impossible for computers to crack. The example “master password” I use in the tutorial video is: “I went skydiving for the first time in 2001.” That password has over 40 characters in it (spaces, punctuation and everything), making it impossible for a computer to guess, but it would be extremely easy to remember because it is (hypothetically) relevant to the actual history of my life. The next logical question is: “Which password manager should I use?” There are really only two criteria for selecting a password manager: 1. Is it secure, and; 2. Will I use it? The most secure password manager in the world is worthless if you stop using it because it’s too inconvenient. I recommend using one of two password managers: KeePass or 1Password. KeePass is a free, open-sources password manager. Its code has been audited by privacy and security experts all over the world, and it is the tool that those experts (and hackers) use themselves. It really is the standard by which every other password manager is judged, and since it is free, it cost you nothing to try it. Its only draw backs (if you can even call them that) are that the user interface looks like a basic computer program built in the early 2000s, and you have to manually transfer your passwords between your devices (such as your computer to your phone), which is easy for anyone to learn to do in a matter of minutes. In fact most privacy and security experts prefer the fact that you have to manually sync your passwords between devices with KeePass because it reduces the chance that passwords may somehow be exposed during the syncing process, and it allows you to only sync the few passwords you might actually need on the device rather than copying the entire database (multiple copies of the database increases the number of opportunities to steal the data and mobile phones are often much less secure that desktop computers). 1Password works in essentially the same way as KeePass – all the encryption and data storage take place on your computer and not in the cloud – but is a proprietary software that requires a monthly subscription. So why would anyone pay every month for 1Password when KeePass is free? In a word: convenience. 1Password has a nice user interface, extensions that build password management into all the popular browsers on the market, and well supported mobile apps on both the iPhone and Android. And it will automatically sync to all these locations through Dropbox, which most people are already familiar with using. I have to admit that I still use 1Password because I bought a lifetime license before it switched to a subscription model and because it works in the Brave web browser, which I love. My only plea is: pick the password manager that is right for you and actually use it.

| title | Congress Is About To Give Away Our Privacy |
| body |  I hate to ambush you with a request first thing on a Monday morning, but Congress and corporate lobbyists are trying steal your digital privacy once again! Please call your House of Representative member immediately and tell him or her to vote NO on H.R.-1430, which would repeal internet privacy rules and allow your internet service provider (ISP) to sell your personal information to other corporations without your permission or your notification. Today at 5pm E.S.T, the House is scheduled to vote on H.R.-1430; so, this is the time to let our representatives know, loud and clear, that we take our privacy seriously. Unfortunately, the Senate already voted 50-48 last Thursday to eliminate the privacy rules that currently prevent ISPs from selling your information. This is our last chance, from a political perspective, to stop this loss of privacy (fortunately, there is a crypto tech solution that doesn’t require any government permission – more about that in a moment). Here is a link to lookup your Representative based on your zip code: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ And here is a great article by Ars Technica explaining the bill in detail: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/how-isps-can-sell-your-web-history-and-how-to-stop-them/ For those of you have been following me for a while, even before I started www.CryptoTech.Solutions late last year, you know that, while I believe it is important for us to influence laws toward greater digital privacy, I don’t have a lot of faith that the American political system, as it stands today, can be counted on to protect our rights. That’s why encryption technology is so revolutionary; it frees us from needing anyone’s permission to take back our digital privacy. If you want to protect your internet usage so that even your ISP can’t see the websites you visit, you have to use a virtual private network (VPN). VPNs also provide the added benefit of adding an extra layer of security to your laptop or cell phone if you’re connecting untrusted networks such as public wifi. The trick, however, is finding a VPN you can trust. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to use a VPN if you are simply trading being spied on by your ISP for being spied on by your VPN. That’s why you should follow the following rules when selecting a VPN provider: 1. Do Not use a free VPN service. If someone tries to give you something for free, there is a good chance you aren’t their customer – you’re their product and they’re selling your information to the highest bidder. 2. Do use a VPN service that is has a sterling reputation in the digital privacy and security community. Good references to judge a VPN’s quality can be found at http://www.privacytools.io/ and https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ 3. Do use a VPN service that doesn’t require any personal information (name, address, phone number, credit card number, etc.) to setup an account or establish service. VPN providers that understand privacy don’t log any of their server traffic so there is no record of usage, but the best VPN providers will simply give you a random account number or will you to sign up for an account with a made-up e-mail address so that they don’t even know who you are in the first place. 4. Do use a VPN provider that will allow you to pay anonymously using Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to avoid registering your personal information with a VPN provider if you are just going to turnaround and give them your credit card for billing. Cryptocurrencies allow you to purchase goods and services over the internet anonymously, just like if you were using cash in person. My personal favorite VPN service at the moment is Nord VPN. Nord meets all four of the above criteria; plus it is easy to use, it’s available on any platform, and it has some of the fastest and most reliable service I’ve seen. And if you signup now using the link www.CryptoTech.Solutions/Nord, Nord is offering 72% off of 2-years of VPN service – that’s VPN service for only $3.29 per month (over $207.80 savings from their regularly offered price)!  |

This is our last chance, from a political perspective, to stop this loss of privacy (fortunately, there is a crypto tech solution that doesn’t require any government permission – more about that in a moment).\nHere is a link to lookup your Representative based on your zip code: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/\n \nAnd here is a great article by Ars Technica explaining the bill in detail: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/how-isps-can-sell-your-web-history-and-how-to-stop-them/\n \nFor those of you have been following me for a while, even before I started www.CryptoTech.Solutions late last year, you know that, while I believe it is important for us to influence laws toward greater digital privacy, I don’t have a lot of faith that the American political system, as it stands today, can be counted on to protect our rights. That’s why encryption technology is so revolutionary; it frees us from needing anyone’s permission to take back our digital privacy.\n \nIf you want to protect your internet usage so that even your ISP can’t see the websites you visit, you have to use a virtual private network (VPN). VPNs also provide the added benefit of adding an extra layer of security to your laptop or cell phone if you’re connecting untrusted networks such as public wifi.\n \nThe trick, however, is finding a VPN you can trust. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to use a VPN if you are simply trading being spied on by your ISP for being spied on by your VPN. That’s why you should follow the following rules when selecting a VPN provider:\n1.\tDo Not use a free VPN service. If someone tries to give you something for free, there is a good chance you aren’t their customer – you’re their product and they’re selling your information to the highest bidder.\n2.\tDo use a VPN service that is has a sterling reputation in the digital privacy and security community. Good references to judge a VPN’s quality can be found at http://www.privacytools.io/ and https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/\n3.\tDo use a VPN service that doesn’t require any personal information (name, address, phone number, credit card number, etc.) to setup an account or establish service. VPN providers that understand privacy don’t log any of their server traffic so there is no record of usage, but the best VPN providers will simply give you a random account number or will you to sign up for an account with a made-up e-mail address so that they don’t even know who you are in the first place.\n4.\tDo use a VPN provider that will allow you to pay anonymously using Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to avoid registering your personal information with a VPN provider if you are just going to turnaround and give them your credit card for billing. Cryptocurrencies allow you to purchase goods and services over the internet anonymously, just like if you were using cash in person.\n \nMy personal favorite VPN service at the moment is Nord VPN. Nord meets all four of the above criteria; plus it is easy to use, it’s available on any platform, and it has some of the fastest and most reliable service I’ve seen. And if you signup now using the link www.CryptoTech.Solutions/Nord, Nord is offering 72% off of 2-years of VPN service – that’s VPN service for only $3.29 per month (over $207.80 savings from their regularly offered price)!\n\n\n",

| title | Video - Purism VS Vault 7, Interview with Todd Weaver - Founder & CEO |
| body | <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z3q6qPEtiYE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> In today's show, I interview CEO/founder Todd Weaver about his computer company Purism and how they were fixing Vault 7 exploits before it was cool. As anyone watching this show probably already knows, Vault 7 is an archive of documents released by WiliLeaks that prove the CIA recently lost control of a suite of hacking tools, including malware, viruses, trojans, and un-patched “zero day” exploits, which allow an attacker to subvert most common operating systems and take control of the target’s device. Unfortunately, many of the vulnerabilities “exposed” in Vault 7 have been known to the privacy and security community for a number of years, but device and software manufactures have not addressed these exploits because: 1) up to this point, most customers don’t seem to care about digital privacy and security; and 2) fixing many of them would reduce the manufacturing company’s own ability to gather lucrative data on its customers. Thankfully not all companies think this way – Enter Purism. For the last three years, Purism has been producing high-quality privacy, security, and freedom focused computers and software. In this interview, Todd discuss how the privacy, security, and freedom philosophy influences Purism’s hardware design choices (Purism is the first company to introduce physical kill switches for device microphones, cameras, and transmitters – which should be an industry standard in my opinion), software development, and even the corporate structure of the company. During the interview, Todd also gave us a look behind the curtain on Purism’s development of a privacy and security focused mobile phone, which goes on pre-order in 3Q2017 and is set to be released in 2Q2018! Overall, it was a great interview from a solid company that is leading the industry on privacy, security, and freedom. Enjoy!

| title | Bitcoin Scaling Twitter Debate with Tone Vays |
| body |  I had my own mini Bitcoin-scaling debate with <a href="https://twitter.com/ToneVays">@ToneVays</a> on twitter last week. I've been so busy trying to get my website to a somewhat presentable state that I haven't had any time to blog about it yet. But, I've finally come up for air; so I thought I'd take a minute to lay it out. Tone's basic argument, as I understand it, is that any hard fork in Bitcoin is bad because a hard fork has the potential for splitting the network into two chains. Tone and I agree that splitting the network would be damaging to many users, and this is the "moral hazard" to which he refers. Unfortunately, what Tone refuses to acknowledge is that not all hard forks are created equally. Bitcoin, and many other cryptocurrencies, have employed hard forks to upgrade their networks in the past without causing currency splits because these upgrades were recognized as beneficial to the system. Tone incorrectly asserts that any hard fork to increase Bitcoin's block size, at this moment, will result in a 100% chance of a split in the network, but that simply can't be true. Given a moments thought, it's easy to see that a modest block increase to 2MB, while contentious, would have to be <strong>less contentious</strong> than the Bitcoin Unlimited proposal to let the network participants change the block size on the fly through dynamic consensus, which incentivizes sophisticated miners to mine increasingly larger and larger blocks. So if the probability of a split under a 2MB increase is something less than the probability of a split under a hostile implementation of Bitcoin Unlimited, then it's also less than 100%, absolute certainty. What people on <strong>both sides</strong> of this debate fail to recognizes is that, like it or not, Bitcoin is first-and-foremost a network of people, which means that politics, diplomacy, and compromise are necessary to growth, not impediments to growth. In my mind, the only way to ensure a 100% likelihood of splitting the network is to completely ignore and refuse to compromise with a pissed-off (and growing) minority in the community. Even if segwit is eventually passed, if the concerns of those who want bigger blocks are not actively addressed in good faith, then many of those folks will split off from Bitcoin or abandon it for another network where they have a voice. The whole conversation is embedded on my site; so of course, everyone is encouraged to form their own opinion. https://www.cryptotech.solutions/bitcoin-scaling-twitter-debate-with-tone-vays/ |

| title | Podcast - Burner Phones Go Blackmarket in Poland |
| body | <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/anfHOY6-N74" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> In today's episode I wanted to cover a blog post I wrote back on Jan 31st titled "Burner Phones Go Black Market in Poland." The blog post was inspired by an article on Lodzpost.com, and you can find a link to the original article in today's show notes page. So back at the beginning of this year Poland put a new law into effect requiring retailers there in Poland to record and report the identity of every customers buying "pre-paid" Sim cards, or "Burner Phones" if you want to call them by their more sensational name. So according to this new law, every customer has to present a government issued ID, and the store has to record their name and national identification number. I've got a problem with this for a number of reasons, but before I get into that, let's remind people what a SIM card is. A SIM card is the little, removable chip that allows your phone to talk to your cellular carrier's network. It holds unique information such as your telephone number, but also your personal security keys and network authorization data. And if your real-life identity is registered to that SIM card, then your name is associated with every call that phone makes. But if these SIM cards are purchased with cash, or Bitcoin, and no information is required to activate them, then it can be very difficult to track who is using the phone to make calls. So it's obvious why governments would want every SIM card to be registered - it makes it easier for them to conduct mass surveillance on everyone's phone calls rather than conduct targeted investigations of persons or cell phone numbers under suspicion of an actual crime. Of course that's not what they're going to tell you; so what's their argument? They say, "only a criminal would need to use a burner phone; so if you have nothing to hide, why would you oppose registering your information?" Good question, so why do I oppose registration? Well, first off, and I shouldn't have to say this, but I do, so here I go…Privacy is an inherent human right that needs no justification. Just like you don't have to justify why you have the right to free speech or justify why you have the right to practice the religion of your choice, you don't have to justify why you need privacy. Glenn Greenwald has a really great line he uses whenever somebody trots out "I don't care if the government violates my privacy because I have nothing to hide." Usually this is in relation to e-mail so he says, "Oh yeah, well give the username and passwords to every e-mail account you ever used so that I can go back and read every word you've ever written and report on it in my newspaper." Glenn says that, so far, no one has taken him up on it, and the same thing could be said about this cell phone issue. If someone is in the "I have nothing to hide camp," they why don't they just post their full name and cell phone number online. Forget about the tella-marketers, can you imagine the non-stop calls and text messages from all the trolls on the internet. But of course that argument isn't going to convince everyone; so let's go over my reasons. My first reason is going to seem thin to a lot of people who aren't freedom and privacy loving wierdos like myself, but what if you don't have a government issued ID? If people really are free, why should they be forced to be tagged and tracked in a government database? In my opinion, people should be able to completely live their lives and conduct normal daily commerce without being asked "Papers Please" like we live in some fascist state. My second reason is also going to seem thin to a lot of people, but it shouldn't! My second problem with a policy like this is that it forces the retailer to become an agent of the government, whether they agree with the policy or not, and without compensation. It may seem trivial, but it is a real cost to retailers to gather this information, store this information, and report this information to government. It will definitely hurt their sales and will likely hurt the relationship with their customers. These retailers aren't slaves to be ordered around, and if the government wants people to register their SIM cards, which is still a bad idea, they should at least gather the information themselves. Of course, they know that people, if given the choice, like won't register and the policy won't work. So they force the retailer to do it. But since storing and reporting this information puts a real cost on the retailer, it's likely that they won't put a lot of effort into it and won't do it very securely. Which leads me to my third gripe about this kind of policy, it creates a data security nightmare. Pretend for just a minute that this was in the US, and we'll talk more about that in a bit but for right now just pretend, can you imagine being at Wal-Mart or your grocery store and being asked to give your Social-Security-Number, probably the most sensitive piece of information about you, to the random stranger behind the counter? Identity theft, which is already a huge problem, will go through the roof. Even if the store employees don't take your information, and some of them definitely will, there is a good chance that the company will sell your information to the highest bidder (lots companies do this all the time), and now you've created a huge honeypot for hackers, and we've seen big retailers get hacked before. Remember the Target hack? Let's just look at the claim that only criminals purchase pre-paid SIM cards. According to the technology publication, Arstechnica, 25% of the population in America uses pre-paid mobile phones, and that number jumps to 70% in Western Europe and China, 95% in India, and 99% in Africa. Are you telling me that a vast, vast majority of the world's population are drug dealers and terrorist? Criminals are a drop in the bucket, we're talking 1% or less of the population. The people using pre-paid SIM cards are honest, ordinary people just trying to live their lives. You want to know who these people are? They are the people who are too poor to buy a $900 iPhone or they don't have good enough credit for one of the major carriers to lease them one, which is really the only reason why a carrier needs to gather a bunch of personal information about you - well that and to lock you into an annual contract. And the pre-paid plans, in addition to being more private, are usually much, much more affordable. That's the people this kind of policy is going to hurt, but it definitely won't be the criminals because the criminals, they'll just switch tactics. They'll start a black market for SIM cards from another country, or they'll use stolen phones, or they'll clone the legit SIM cards of innocent people, or they'll switch entirely to encrypted Voice over IP calls, or they'll switch to some new technology that we haven't even heard of yet. The point is, they aren't going to stop and they definitely aren't going to just hand over their information and get caught. So, like most government policies, this will backfire. All Poland has done is create a nice new black market and compromise the private, personal information of most of their citizens. But this could never happen in the US, right? Well, one lawmaker has already tried to make it happen. In March 2016, House Representative Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo) [I probably butchered her name but she's trying to butcher our privacy so I guess we're even] introduced the Pre-Paid Mobile Device Security Gap Act of 2016, which would have required similar identification requirements as the Polish law. Luckily, the bill didn't go to a vote, but I wouldn't put it past some future Congress to take it up again because these things never die, they have a way of just coming back again and again until they finally pass. I don't know, what do you guys think. Are burner phones a basic human right? Hit me up on Twitter @CrypTecSolution or on Facebook to let me know what you think. What some legitimate reasons why ordinary people would want to use a temporary, private phone number? I think the reasons can be as trivial as selling a couch on Craigslist to as consequential as trying to hide your conversations with a divorce lawyer from an abusive spouse, but I'm interested to hear what you guys think. One of the major reasons why I use pre-paid SIM card is to have a dedicated, private phone for buying Bitcoin peer-to-peer. And one of the best places to buy Bitcoin peer-to-peer over the internet is Paxful.com. With Paxful, you don't have to go through some exchange with KYC, or know your customer regulations, that require you to give up personal information. On Paxful, you get to decide how much information you want to share. There are over 300 ways to buy Bitcoin. If privacy is not your main concern, you can use your Paypal account or a debit card. And if privacy is important to you, you can buy your Bitcoin for cash by anonymously depositing it at a vendor's local bank branch. Paxful even makes buying Bitcoin so easy, you can use old gift cards. If you're looking to buy Bitcoin, use the link in today's show notes page to helps support CryptoTech Solutions at no additional cost to you. And that wraps up today's show. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Don't forget to subscribe to the show on Itunes and consider leaving us a review.

"title": "Podcast - Burner Phones Go Blackmarket in Poland",
"body": "<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/anfHOY6-N74\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nIn today's episode I wanted to cover a blog post I wrote back on Jan 31st titled \"Burner Phones Go Black Market in Poland.\"\n\n\nThe blog post was inspired by an article on Lodzpost.com, and you can find a link to the original article in today's show notes page.\n\n\nSo back at the beginning of this year Poland put a new law into effect requiring retailers there in Poland to record and report the identity of every customers buying \"pre-paid\" Sim cards, or \"Burner Phones\" if you want to call them by their more sensational name. So according to this new law, every customer has to present a government issued ID, and the store has to record their name and national identification number.\n\n\nI've got a problem with this for a number of reasons, but before I get into that, let's remind people what a SIM card is. A SIM card is the little, removable chip that allows your phone to talk to your cellular carrier's network. It holds unique information such as your telephone number, but also your personal security keys and network authorization data. And if your real-life identity is registered to that SIM card, then your name is associated with every call that phone makes. But if these SIM cards are purchased with cash, or Bitcoin, and no information is required to activate them, then it can be very difficult to track who is using the phone to make calls.\n\n\nSo it's obvious why governments would want every SIM card to be registered - it makes it easier for them to conduct mass surveillance on everyone's phone calls rather than conduct targeted investigations of persons or cell phone numbers under suspicion of an actual crime. Of course that's not what they're going to tell you; so what's their argument? They say, \"only a criminal would need to use a burner phone; so if you have nothing to hide, why would you oppose registering your information?\"\n\n\nGood question, so why do I oppose registration?\n\n\nWell, first off, and I shouldn't have to say this, but I do, so here I go…Privacy is an inherent human right that needs no justification. Just like you don't have to justify why you have the right to free speech or justify why you have the right to practice the religion of your choice, you don't have to justify why you need privacy.\n\n\nGlenn Greenwald has a really great line he uses whenever somebody trots out \"I don't care if the government violates my privacy because I have nothing to hide.\" Usually this is in relation to e-mail so he says, \"Oh yeah, well give the username and passwords to every e-mail account you ever used so that I can go back and read every word you've ever written and report on it in my newspaper.\" Glenn says that, so far, no one has taken him up on it, and the same thing could be said about this cell phone issue. If someone is in the \"I have nothing to hide camp,\" they why don't they just post their full name and cell phone number online. Forget about the tella-marketers, can you imagine the non-stop calls and text messages from all the trolls on the internet.\n\n\nBut of course that argument isn't going to convince everyone; so let's go over my reasons.\n\n\nMy first reason is going to seem thin to a lot of people who aren't freedom and privacy loving wierdos like myself, but what if you don't have a government issued ID? If people really are free, why should they be forced to be tagged and tracked in a government database? In my opinion, people should be able to completely live their lives and conduct normal daily commerce without being asked \"Papers Please\" like we live in some fascist state.\n\n\nMy second reason is also going to seem thin to a lot of people, but it shouldn't! My second problem with a policy like this is that it forces the retailer to become an agent of the government, whether they agree with the policy or not, and without compensation. It may seem trivial, but it is a real cost to retailers to gather this information, store this information, and report this information to government. It will definitely hurt their sales and will likely hurt the relationship with their customers. These retailers aren't slaves to be ordered around, and if the government wants people to register their SIM cards, which is still a bad idea, they should at least gather the information themselves. Of course, they know that people, if given the choice, like won't register and the policy won't work. So they force the retailer to do it. But since storing and reporting this information puts a real cost on the retailer, it's likely that they won't put a lot of effort into it and won't do it very securely.\n\n\nWhich leads me to my third gripe about this kind of policy, it creates a data security nightmare. Pretend for just a minute that this was in the US, and we'll talk more about that in a bit but for right now just pretend, can you imagine being at Wal-Mart or your grocery store and being asked to give your Social-Security-Number, probably the most sensitive piece of information about you, to the random stranger behind the counter? Identity theft, which is already a huge problem, will go through the roof. Even if the store employees don't take your information, and some of them definitely will, there is a good chance that the company will sell your information to the highest bidder (lots companies do this all the time), and now you've created a huge honeypot for hackers, and we've seen big retailers get hacked before. Remember the Target hack?\n\n\nLet's just look at the claim that only criminals purchase pre-paid SIM cards. According to the technology publication, Arstechnica, 25% of the population in America uses pre-paid mobile phones, and that number jumps to 70% in Western Europe and China, 95% in India, and 99% in Africa. Are you telling me that a vast, vast majority of the world's population are drug dealers and terrorist? Criminals are a drop in the bucket, we're talking 1% or less of the population. The people using pre-paid SIM cards are honest, ordinary people just trying to live their lives.\n\n\nYou want to know who these people are? They are the people who are too poor to buy a $900 iPhone or they don't have good enough credit for one of the major carriers to lease them one, which is really the only reason why a carrier needs to gather a bunch of personal information about you - well that and to lock you into an annual contract. And the pre-paid plans, in addition to being more private, are usually much, much more affordable.\n\n\nThat's the people this kind of policy is going to hurt, but it definitely won't be the criminals because the criminals, they'll just switch tactics. They'll start a black market for SIM cards from another country, or they'll use stolen phones, or they'll clone the legit SIM cards of innocent people, or they'll switch entirely to encrypted Voice over IP calls, or they'll switch to some new technology that we haven't even heard of yet. The point is, they aren't going to stop and they definitely aren't going to just hand over their information and get caught.\n\n\nSo, like most government policies, this will backfire. All Poland has done is create a nice new black market and compromise the private, personal information of most of their citizens. But this could never happen in the US, right?\n\n\nWell, one lawmaker has already tried to make it happen. In March 2016, House Representative Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo) [I probably butchered her name but she's trying to butcher our privacy so I guess we're even] introduced the Pre-Paid Mobile Device Security Gap Act of 2016, which would have required similar identification requirements as the Polish law. Luckily, the bill didn't go to a vote, but I wouldn't put it past some future Congress to take it up again because these things never die, they have a way of just coming back again and again until they finally pass.\n\n\nI don't know, what do you guys think. Are burner phones a basic human right? Hit me up on Twitter @CrypTecSolution or on Facebook to let me know what you think.\n\n\nWhat some legitimate reasons why ordinary people would want to use a temporary, private phone number?

| title | Most Android VPN Apps Don’t Protect Their Users |
| body |  Check out this extremely thought provoking article from Ars Technica about a study VPN apps offered in the Goggle Play marketplace. https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/01/majority-of-android-vpns-cant-be-trusted-to-make-users-more-secure/ According to the study, which analyzed the source code and network behavior of 300 Android VPN apps (link to study below): • 82% unnecessarily accessed sensitive information on the user’s phone such as user accounts and text messages • 38% contained known malicious code • 18% did NOT encrypt traffic, leaving users open to man-in-the-middle attacks when connected to Wi-Fi hotspots or other types of unsecured networks • 84% leaked IPv6 traffic data • 66% leak DNS request data • 4 of the 300 apps installed digital certificates that caused the apps to intercept and decrypt transport layer security traffic sent between the phones and encrypted websites • 16% injected ads or tracking code into users' Web traffic • Of the 67% of VPN products that specifically listed enhanced privacy as a benefit, 75% of them used third-party tracking libraries to monitor users' online activities Unfortunately, the study concludes that it is difficult, even for tech-savvy users, to personally audit the performance and effectiveness of your VPN service. However, after reading the study, I noticed two things: most of the offending apps were “free” in the Google Play store, and they were all offered by companies/developers that have ZERO reputation credit within the digital privacy community.

"body": "\n\nCheck out this extremely thought provoking article from Ars Technica about a study VPN apps offered in the Goggle Play marketplace.\n\nhttps://arstechnica.com/security/2017/01/majority-of-android-vpns-cant-be-trusted-to-make-users-more-secure/\n\nAccording to the study, which analyzed the source code and network behavior of 300 Android VPN apps (link to study below):\n•\t82% unnecessarily accessed sensitive information on the user’s phone such as user accounts and text messages \n•\t38% contained known malicious code \n•\t18% did NOT encrypt traffic, leaving users open to man-in-the-middle attacks when connected to Wi-Fi hotspots or other types of unsecured networks\n•\t84% leaked IPv6 traffic data\n•\t66% leak DNS request data\n•\t4 of the 300 apps installed digital certificates that caused the apps to intercept and decrypt transport layer security traffic sent between the phones and encrypted websites\n•\t16% injected ads or tracking code into users' Web traffic \n•\tOf the 67% of VPN products that specifically listed enhanced privacy as a benefit, 75% of them used third-party tracking libraries to monitor users' online activities \n\nUnfortunately, the study concludes that it is difficult, even for tech-savvy users, to personally audit the performance and effectiveness of your VPN service. However, after reading the study, I noticed two things: most of the offending apps were “free” in the Google Play store, and they were all offered by companies/developers that have ZERO reputation credit within the digital privacy community. If you want to pick a legit VPN service, you should go with a company that has recognition within the digital privacy community as being safe and effective, and you have to recognize that you “pay for what you get.” Avoid free VPNs like the plague!\n\nCheck out https://www.privacytools.io/#vpn for an excellent list of VPN providers that are trusted in the digital privacy community.

| title | FBI Quietly Expands Power To Remotely Hack Your Computer |
| body |  As of December 1 of 2016, the FBI’s ability to remotely hack your computer got a lot easier, and unless you are extremely plugged into the digital privacy realm, you probably heard nothing about it. The FBI has had the authority to remotely hack computers for the purpose of criminal investigation for years under Federal Rule for Criminal Procedures 41. In its previous iteration, Rule 41 required the FBI to obtain a warrant from the actual jurisdiction in which the computer is physically located. If a case involved, say, a hacker’s installation of botware on computers via the internet, this could mean obtaining thousands of warrants for machines in numerous jurisdictions, assuming the investigators even know where the computers are physically located. So, in the name of expediency, the Department of Justice petitioned the Supreme Court for a change to Rule 41 in April of 2016, and, unfortunately, they got it. The revision to Rule 41 permits the FBI to obtain a single warrant for multiple computers and to obtain the warrant in ANY jurisdiction if “technological means” have been used to conceal the machine’s physical location. This may seem innocuous at first glance, but Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Chris Coons, D-Del., and Steve Daines, R-Mont. believed this expansion in authority will be extremely damaging to American’s privacy. Wyden released a statement that read, “These amendments will have significant consequences for Americans’ privacy and the scope of the government’s powers to conduct remote surveillance and searches of electronic devices. Under the proposed rules, the government would now be able to obtain a single warrant to access and search thousands or millions of computers at once; and the vast majority of the effected computers would belong to the victims, not the perpetrators, of a cybercrime.” The senators introduced bills to prevent or delay enacting the revisions to Rule 41 in November 2016, but Senate did not even hold a hearing to discuss the merits of the bills, let alone vote on them. The senators were not alone in their fears that this subtle rule change could have a large impact on the privacy of ordinary, law-abiding Americans. Google, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) all filed letters with the Supreme Court urging the justices to deny the rule change. Privacy groups fear that as victims of cybercrimes computers are scoured for evidence without their knowledge, personally embarrassing or incriminating items unrelated to the original crime will be revealed. Worse still, some fear that the revised rule’s specific reference to the use of “technological means” for concealing a computer’s location will be used as a pretense for the FBI to actively target TOR or VPNs users for unannounced, remote searches. Needless to say, there are numerous of legitimate reasons to want to use TOR or a VPN service, and far more legitimate users than criminals will be rounded up if those services are used as targeting parameters. The Department of Justice has attempted to reassure us that revision does “not purport” to expand the scope of Rule 41, but that is a weak comfort. Even of the author of the Patriot Act, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin), said that Section 215 was never intended to authorize the mass surveillance of American’s phone calls….but that hasn’t stopped the NSA. Keep an eye on this. And don’t let this stop you from using essential digital privacy and security tools, like VPNs. I recommend Nord VPN or Mullvad VPN. You can pay for either one privately with Bitcoin!

| title | Burner Phones Go Black Market in Poland |
| body |  As of January 2017, all pre-paid SIM cards in Poland have to be registered to a verified, real-life identity. Customers attempting to purchase a SIM card will have to provide their real name, their national identification number, and produce government-approved identification documents. Service provides must verify the identities of existing customers or shut-off their phone service. SIM cards are the interchangeable chips which allow your phone to communicate with your cellular service provider, by storing unique information such as your telephone number, personal security keys, and network authorization data. In many, if not most, countries around the world, SIM cards can be purchased in cash and activated without providing any information as to your real-life identity. These are so called “Burner Phones,” and they popular among criminals for obvious reasons. However, there are plenty of legitimate reasons a person may want a temporary, private phone number – reasons that range from selling old furniture on Craigslist, to hiding from an abusive Ex or becoming a government/corporate whistle-blower. It should go without stating, but as a reminder: Privacy is an inherent human right that needs no justification. Unfortunately, government is often willing to sacrifice its citizens’ privacy for greater authority and the appearance of security. In March 2016, House Representative Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo) introduced the Pre-Paid Mobile Device Security Gap Act of 2016, which would introduce similar identification requirements as the Polish law – though. According to the House’s website, the bill never moved beyond being introduced, and hopeful, Congress will not take it up again in future sessions. Beyond being a fundamental invasion of people’s privacy, gathering information about the real-life identities of people purchasing pre-paid cellular service is, like most government efforts to restrict human behavior, futile and will only injure the innocent. Innocent people, those too poor or with credit too bad to get a phone plan with a traditional carrier, will comply with the law and provide a trove of personal information to pre-paid cellular providers who, given the long history of data hacks, will likely do a poor job of securing their customer’s information. They may even sell the data off themselves. All of which will result in increased cases of identity theft and abuse. Criminals, on the other hand, will switch tactics and technologies. A black market in SIM cards will grow. SIM card theft and cloning will increase. Criminals will use encrypted VOIP more often, or they’ll switch to some emerging new technology we haven’t even heard yet. The point is, they won’t simply hand their information over to the government to willingly, sheepishly, be caught. http://lodzpost.com/polishnews/prepaid-sim-cards-poland-registration-mandatory/ http://gizmodo.com/house-lawmaker-want-to-require-personal-information-to-1767368371 https://www.cryptotech.solutions/burner-phones-go-black-market-in-poland/ |

| title | FetLife Censored By Payment Processor |
| body |  FetLife, the sexually-explicit social networking site where users share their kinks with each other, has been reduced to removing hundreds of fetish categories and, potentially, some associated user content because of threats from credit card payment processor(s) that the site's account(s) would be closed due to "Illegal or Immoral" activities. Of course, cryptocurrencies are the perfect financial tool for people/groups/industries marginalized by society because, like cash, they don't require any third-party's permission for use. We've seen this same scenario played out when credit card payment processors shutoff WikiLeaks and, later, Backpages.com. Bitcoin was the only way either group could receive funds, and it arguably saved their organizations. Sarah Lewis wrote a fantastic post breaking the news on this story. In the second half of the post, she highlights FetLife's earlier attempts, and failure, to incorporate Bitcoin as a payment method. Coinbase, the USA's largest Bitcoin exchange/bank, refused to do business with FetLife because of the social-network's sexually-explicit nature, and once Bitcoin use had finally been incorporated, it only accounted for 0.1% of their transactions. Lewis writes, "This was nowhere near enough needed to reduce their dependency on credit card companies." That's fair enough. People are constantly saying that cryptocurrencies will never reach mass adoption because there is no use case – traditional payment methods are just too reliable, too convenient. FetLife didn’t have a need for Bitcoin…right up until it did. https://mascherari.press/financial-censorship-when-banks-d…/ https://www.cryptotech.solutions/1-25-17-fetlife-censored-by-payment-processor/ |
