IPVanish removes Russian VPN servers Moscow -

Russian data retention

As of July 12, VPN has IPVanish over a VPN server in the presence of Russia.

early last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a controversial anti-terrorism legislative package in the law of the land. Of the increase in mass surveillance powers is a new set of data retention laws, some of which are more stringent than we have seen to date.

The new data retention laws require VPN service providers such as ourselves to 1) store data on a user connects to a physical server located within the surveillance nation and 2 ) store it for a whole year. Specifically, the Russian government we (or worse) a fine for each time we refused to provide the following:

  • Personal user information (name, address (es) IP, information account)
  • user activity (data transfers, browser history, login timestamps)
  • user Content communications
  • decryption of data on request

because of unfair duties that the Russian authorities will force us to respect, we decided to promptly abandon their activities within the monitoring nation. As one of the few VPN services with an authentic political "zero-logs," we will never negotiate our values ​​for privacy for the good of many servers.

all VPN servers At July 12 , 2016 IPVanish has retired physically located in Russia, which will affect connections made in Moscow. the server lists in our applications will be updated automatically, but the devices manually connected to a Moscow server will require reconfiguration to elsewhere on our VPN server list.

to IPVanish We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause our friends that depend on those specific servers. We can explore adding VPN servers in new places around the nation for monitoring offset the difficulties, if any. However, it is important to remember that personal safety is more important than convenience.

For our users who reside in Russia, you have our support now more than ever. Our withdrawal from IPVanish equipment Monitoring nation does not affect our ability to protect and secure your data. We will continue to provide a safe haven for your online business and defend your right to digital privacy.

If questions or complications of this change on our behalf, please contact our customer support team.

Egypt to ban pornography -

During the Arab Spring last year, Egypt has tried to cut off Internet access to their citizens, and after Mubarak stepped down, you would think they would not try to do something similar so early, but it seems that the Egyptian government will ban internet porn.

In an attempt to "protect society and its values" the government is supposed to censor a website with pornographic content. It is yet to determine what the criteria is to "pornographic" which adds another layer to the way it will be difficult to enforce a ban of this kind.

I think I know where Rick Santorum is going on vacation this year.

Inject Hotel Ads Over WiFi -

Marriott Hotels came under fire recently after some of their most shady marketing tactics were exposed. As users connected to their WiFi network, they have been adding lines of code that would enable them to serve ads to you, which is an additional source of revenue for the hotel. Although it is common for some Internet service providers (ISPs), it is rare from a hotel.

Good news is that they have stopped for the moment. After the media got a hold of the story, Marriott quickly responded and gave up the practice. Yet they themselves have earned a bad PR. If you are not confident in the security of the wireless connection in a hotel, consider using a VPN to add another layer of security. Protect your connection and try IPVanish next time you travel.

This would create a level of coordination between enforcement agencies of the law and the companies trying to protect their unprecedented copyright. And the White House objected and issued a formal veto threat.

Approved ITU treaty amid concerns of Internet censorship -

The Treaty of ITU Conference Approved but end with many nations refusing to sign

After two weeks, ITU World Conference on international telecommunications is now complete and as predicted ended with the US and other countries that refuse to sign on the dotted line. According to Techdirt, the treaty has been distorted as it was promised to (a) not be on the Internet and (b) would be completed by consensus (not a majority vote.) Therefore, the United States was up to its promise that it would not support such a treaty by refusing to sign.

Bloomberg reports, "an update of agreement 24 years of United Nations telecommunications rules was approved against opposition from countries including the US and the UK, whose officials released negotiations on concerns about regulation and censorship of the Internet. "Treaty includes shares that would give countries the ability to block spam and the right to access to international telecommunications services.

After the United States, countries such as the UK, Canada, Denmark, Australia, Norway, Costa Rica, Greece, Finland and others have also refused to sign the new pact, arguing that it opens the door to censorship and government control over the Web.

disapproval

World Conference of the ITU gained because of its model of a country, one vote, ignoring the size of the population. Google among other Internet companies do not get a voice in negotiations either.

"what is clear from the ITU meeting in Dubai is that many governments want to increase regulation and censorship of the Internet," Google Inc. said in a statement. "We are with countries that refuse to sign the treaty and also with the millions of voices have joined us to support a free and open web."

the conference was held on 3 December and ends today. Head of the US delegation, Ambassador Terry Kramer said, has been the subject of delegation for the changes do not understand the language of Internet regulation. "The conference was really supposed to be focused on the telecommunications sector," said Kramer. "We believe that there was a bunch of proposals that have come from outside to divert the conference."

What is encryption and how does it protect you online?

What is encryption and how does it protect you online? -

A VPN protects your personal information with Encryption

Encryption is the application of an algorithm for a data block that makes intelligible to an unauthorized person. The most frequently used Web encryption is typed https protocol or HTTPS. HTTPS is encrypted HTTP Web traffic using secure protocols such as the Transportation Security Layer (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). As they are functionally identical, gurus lump together as safe "SSL / TLS."

How HTTPS works is that it establishes an encrypted connection between the Web browser you are using and the server that you have access. Data is encrypted before it is sent to the server on the Internet and only decrypted once it reaches the server safely. The same happens when information is sent from the server to your browser.

SLS and TLS encryption are good and more and more common, however, they can not protect the connection between your computer and a website. Many sites are also still using unencrypted HTTP. Using a virtual private network (VPN) protects all your traffic at a time.

A VPN service provides complete protection for your computer authenticates to a VPN server, making all traffic between your computer and the server encrypted. You can think of a VPN as a secure tunnel between your data from the rest of the data on the network, encrypting all your traffic instead of just part of it.

Reintroduced CISPA bill threatens Internet privacy

The sharing Act and the Cyber ​​Intelligence protection (CISPA) has been reintroduced on Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee. Bill is a controversial security law cyber-based information sharing that emerged in 2012. House Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich) wrote the bill with the Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md .) in an effort to facilitate the sharing of real-time data between government and the private sector. As a way to better defend against cyber attacks.

Last year, the bill died in the Senate when done in the House, despite strong opposition from the Obama administration and civil liberties groups. While most of Washington feels there is a need to share information, others thought the bill would give government too easy access to private information of Americans.

So it will succeed this time? According www.politico.com, "The American Civil Liberties Union and others have taken their sound alarms about the bill because it still lacks the language explicitly require companies to rob personally identifiable information from data exchanged through the program. "

spokesman for the White House, Caitlin Hayden told Politico, "Our conviction remains that the information sharing improvements are essential to the legislation, but must include the protection of privacy and appropriate civil liberties, strengthen the appropriate roles of civilian and intelligence agencies, and protections of responsibility

backers of CISPA are ready to defend their bill and will continue to visit the white House, the protecting groups personal information and others as they feel that their job is to educate people on what the bill. [1945006comprennentciblée"]

Internet privacy laws affect the way your information is collected and shared

The post today is the first four of a series that takes you four privacy laws on the Internet. These laws are either under discussion or may soon come to deliberation. These bills and efforts are to review existing laws that dictate how companies share digital information and what powers the federal government has an online data obtained

Electronic Communication Privacy Act personal information (ECPA) -. This law was passed in 1986 to expand and revise the federal wiretaps and wiretap provisions. Its purpose was seen as creating "a balance between the expectations of the citizens' privacy and the legitimate needs of law enforcement."

Since the ECPA has not changed to adapt to the dramatic changes in technology that has happened since the mid-eighties, electronic communication does not receive the same legal protection as physical documents . "A letter of paper sitting in your home or desk drawer has a significantly higher level of constitutional protection in relation to e-mail now," said Robert Holleyman, president of the Business Software Alliance, which supports the changes to ECPA to strengthen consumer and business privacy.

essentially, the ECPA allows the government to obtain access to digital communications, including email, Facebook messages, the information sits in the databases of your public cloud provider, and a variety of other files with only a subpoena and not a mandate once those items are older than 180 days

This table illustrates the different treatment contents of an e-mail at different times :.

ECPA2

as an example of how information companies return to government Google recently reported: July-December 2012 they received 21.389 US government requests for information on 33,634 users

Patrick Leahy, judiciary Committee chairman believes the ECPA is out of date and pushed the legislation. to revise it. "It will be a struggle. But I think people realize that they should not give up their ability to use the Internet while at the same time keep their freedom," Leahy said in a recent speech to the Georgetown University Law Center.

The authorities are lobbying successfully to make online communication America much easier to follow and with fewer legal obstacles that traditional modes of communication. This is due to their proclamation that the Internet is the realm of criminals.

The FBI claims that the law provides citizens have no expectation of privacy on the information provided, and that the old emails only requires a subpoena, an order signed by a district attorney and not an independent judge-as a mandate to force suppliers to hand over the data.

Privacy Is a Myth?

For anyone who chooses to use the Facebook app Home they are essentially agree to waive any last remaining parcel of privacy, since the application is still back- plan.

If we think of the days before Facebook, back to the famous mail "you have AOL" slogan, online privacy is much simpler. User names that were created simply to chat with others via the Internet, most likely did not reveal the name or anything else that would be considered "private", but rather served the individual legal "alias".

But then came Myspace and Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn and the list goes on and on social media sites that allow users to be searched by factors such as the name, email address , the age, size and even the state of the relationship.

We are always, always connected and not private. The thin line between private and public has disappeared what privacy we think it is still online is an illusion.

We all leave a light footprint online, resulting in everything we do to be followed.

Today, governments can learn about a person through a virtual research they can through a physical search of the house of this person.

NSA Utah Data Farm

As advocates of privacy and security experts debate the validity of massive data from the National security agency's collection, the agency puts the finishing touches to his even greater data firm.

the huge $ 1.2 billion complex to a base of the National Guard 26 miles south of Salt Lake City has 1.5 million square feet of top secret space. only high-performance computers NSA fill 100,000 square feet.

The Utah Data Center is a data farm will begin harvesting emails, phone records, text messages and other electronic data in September.

"the purpose of the NSA's foreign intelligence and foreign intelligence that goes on networks is what we talk about," said Harvey Davis, the director of the agency for installations and logistics .

The estimated power these computing resources in Utah is so massive that it requires the use of a little-known unit of storage space: the zettabyte. Cisco quantifies a zettabyte that the amount of data that would fill 250 billion DVDs.

Despite its capacity, the central Utah does not meet the NSA's data requirements. Last month, the agency broke ground on the neighboring farm data at its headquarters in Ft. Meade, Maryland, but this facility will be only two-thirds the size of the mega-complex in Utah

NSA Surveillance Program Deemed Unconstitutional

NSA Surveillance Program Deemed Unconstitutional -

According to an article published yesterday Techdirt, experts increasingly weigh legal in the NSA surveillance program . The last, Randy Barnett, professor of constitutional law at Georgetown, who wrote a whole book on the subject, is a very detailed explanation of how the NSA surveillance program is unconstitutional on several levels.

Barnett explains some of the history of the 4th Amendment, and how it was originally designed to allow citizens' juries to determine whether a search was reasonable, because the founders of the country not trust judges to "keep jealously liberties of the people." were, however, over time that is constantly moved, as enforcers of the law were made immune from civil lawsuits and more judges had more power over whether or not these searches were reasonable. In addition, he notes how hoovering up almost all metadata is quite similar to (I would say, in many respects worse than) the "general good" issued by the Britsh crown, which was trying to colonial America out of things like the 4th amendment.

continues to stress that the secret of these programs, it's all much worse, and unconstitutional to another level as well, where the government is supposed to serve the people, rather than the reverse.

It seems interesting to note that many of these reasons, and more reasons that others have presented well. Yet, to date, we have seen in person the government offers a serious justification for why the programs are constitutional in any way, other than a single 1979 Supreme Court decision about shaking the hand "doctrine third, "which requires a real exaggeration to claim that allowed the kind of dragnet surveillance requires today

the following example, presented by TechCrunch, has been proven by new revelations by the Guardian Newspaper and Glenn Greenwald, the government has again been avoiding the truth and Snowden was correct

Edward Snowden :. "I sat in my office [could] wiretap anyone, you or your accountant, to a federal or even the president judge, if I had a personal email [address]."

Rep. Mike Rogers: "He was lying […] It is impossible for him to do what he said he could do

An NSA program called xkeyscore provides the exact capacity that Snowden.. said Rep and Rogers denied is how xkeyscore allows the NSA to read your e-mail:.. an analyst without needing a warrant, must simply provide an email address or an IP address, a "justification "written and a time range. that's it.

Your smartphone automatically saves the location where the photos were taken, whether in a local park, day care center for your child, or even your own home.

Anyone can easily translate these geo-tags by browser add-ons that are completely free download. The add-ons or applications run geo-tags mapped in places to make it easier for human eyes to determine the location.

The legislation is insufficient to protect online privacy -

The law is insufficient to protect online privacy, according to a recent study ...

a recent study based on 792 Internet data and smartphone users conducted by Princeton survey Research Associates International found that 68% of people agree law is not sufficient to protect their privacy .

The study also indicated that the privacy of Americans is on the rise, which is no surprise - 50% of Internet users say there are concerned about the information available to them topic online, against 33% in 09. 86% of respondents have tried at least one technique, such as encryption to prevent their online activity to be tracked.

While trying to prevent eavesdropping in some circumstances has become common, the study participants have reason to do so. About a third try conceal their identity hackers or criminals , 28% want advertisers blocks while others want keep their private information spouses, family members, employers or government.

Mary Madden, senior Pew researcher said "These results reinforce the idea that privacy is not an all or nothing proposition for Internet users. People choose different strategies for different activities for different content, to hide different people at different times of their lives. They clearly want the power to decide who knows what about them "

Lynn Boyden, a Los Angeles college professor, who teaches Web design, said it has developed two online identities :. A public life for her professional and private that only a few close friends can access. She also thinks more could be done to protect consumer privacy. But because Internet is largely unregulated global business , it think it is probably more practical to start with educating people about basic steps they can take to protect themselves .

The group refers to current privacy laws as "outdated" in respect of rapidly changing technology and not to change the laws that protect users. He feels it is as if the government is to avoid updating privacy laws because it would mean risking the potential of the Internet.

The technology is part of everyday life , laptops and mobile phones features make it convenient to use the Internet for just about everything - investment, banking, paying bills, checking credit balances and personal communication. Why should simply enjoy the convenience of today's technology means consent to interruption of data and monitoring without government restriction ?

Of course, the creation of new laws to prevent government agencies and the complete redesign of the Internet and privacy policies telephone companies will not be accomplished with great effort and debate. A group of privacy, technology experts and civil rights created the "International Principles for the application of human rights monitoring communications" to help stakeholders determine whether the proposed monitoring respect the fundamental human right of privacy.

3 signs that you are being spied -

Do you know what is right to look at the line on you or what a stranger may you learn about social media sites you use? Here are three signs that you are being spied on and probably not by someone who makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

For example, in this video, the actor Jack Vale proves that some people do not know that what they post online is to read or can be used (in this case) for the panic !!

this video is warning sign # 1 that any fool could look at your life online. They are viewing photos of your pets, your children, the meal you had for dinner, your dad's birthday and they know when you are not at home or even in the country because you are marking yourself wherever you go!

Warning sign # 2 is the fact that the founder of Amazon.com Jeff Bezos wants to use drones to deliver Amazon purchases within 30 minutes of ordering. Drones! The mention of what caused the ears of skeptical of privacy to perk. They are concerned about data gathering and espionage capabilities of drones that lead to constantly suggest the FAA mandating each drone and consider the privacy issues with the same force that the safety rules.

Microsoft supports hundreds of thousands FBI for user data -

There is no mystery that government agencies require technology companies to give them (totally legal) access to user data. It is also very well known that high-tech companies charge the government for the trouble. We just never really knew how much until now

Long story short, Microsoft support the FBI (read: taxpayers). Hundreds of thousands of dollars per month for access to information about you. And their rates are rising. The Syrian Electronic Army said it hacked into super-secret digital Intercept Technology Unit of the FBI (Ditu), where they found the actual invoices from Microsoft detailing how each application data cost.

An invoice from December 2012 totals $ 145.100 which amounts to $ 100 per application. The rate has doubled in August 2013, when Microsoft asked the FBI $ 0 per application for a total of $ 352,0. The latest bill from $ 281,000 in November 2013. Remember: these are six figures (from taxpayers) are for the value of user data requests a month. This adds to millions of dollars per year.

Big Brother Warns about Big Brother, Inc. -

The Wire The Review summarizes Big Data and privacy, recently released by the White House as follows :. Yes, NSA. But you need to worry about you private sector collecting your data, too.

One of the oldest arguments most frequently used by President Obama in the debate on government oversight was a variation of the following: you voluntarily put on much more information to Facebook and advertisers that the government collects on American citizens. And this is true, but, in the words of Edward Snowden, Facebook does not have the ability to "warheads on the forehead," meaning that the ramifications of Facebook data collection are somewhat different.

The new report, titled "Big Data: Seizing opportunities, preservation of values," trying to expand what the private sector could be ramifications. Pointedly, like The New York Times noted in its coverage. The report is the White House "in hopes of advancing the national debate on privacy beyond the National Security Agency surveillance activities to business practices such as Google and Facebook," as the paper puts it .

to this end, the report proposes six policy proposals, including a bill consumer rights, a law requiring companies report data breaches, and limits on data collected from students. It also suggests new protections against one of the most subtle threats inherent in massive data warehouses :. the ability to distinguish subtle

"the detailed personal profiles held on many consumers, combined with automated algorithm-driven decision making, could lead intentionally or unintentionally discriminatory results, or what some are already calling "digital redlining," the report said. The term "redlining" is a reference to the formerly common practice to delineate areas of cities where companies would apply different rules and costs - usually because of the racial composition of these neighborhoods. "Lead Civil Rights Federal Government and consumer protection agencies," the proposal continues, "should expand their technical expertise in order to identify practices and results facilitated by big data analyzes that have a discriminatory effect protected categories, and develop a plan to study and resolve violations of law "

to be very clear. the white House is not wrong. The extent of the data collection is unprecedented, and companies are already exploring ways to maximize the profits of the data analysis. Earlier this week, ThinkProgress published an article about a woman who hid her online business to hide her pregnancy from data collection systems. Atlantic Alexis Madrigal, "which last year noticed that his family is still pregnant unexpectedly had already attracted the attention of marketers, compared the use of . "Big Brother" story of "Big data" in the title of the most frequent use of the implications of data collection, in other words, are already vaguely understood - and not always appreciated
