I'm betting POTUS has been a CI all along.

Got in close to major players, dropping intel the whole way, planting seeds of maybe running for office one day.

Amazing Movie.

This entire operation will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time.

What a time to be Alive.

Hackers Scam Android Phone Makers to Install 'Triada' Adware

Hackers masqueraded as a software vendor that phone makers believed would help them add features to the standard Android OS. Instead, they installed adware known as Triada.

 

Google this week detailed a disturbing case of hackers loading up Android devices with adware by tampering with pre-installed software.

 

The mysterious hackers masqueraded as a software vendor that phone makers believed would help them add features to the standard Android OS. "Sometimes OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) want to include features that aren't part of the Android Open Source Project, such as face unlock," Google security engineer Lukasz Siewierski said in a Thursday blog post. "The OEM might partner with a third party that can develop the desired feature and send the whole system image to that vendor for development."

 

Those desired features, however, came with a side of adware known as Triada.

 

Google has not revealed which product models were affected. But the hackers appear to frequently use the Chinese language, and went by the vendor name "Yehuo" or "Blazefire."

 

"The Triada case is a good example of how Android malware authors are becoming more adept," Siewierski wrote.

 

Google says it coordinated with the affected products to send out software updates, which removed the adware. In 2018, "Google identified all Triada variants, including new ones, and all devices infected with Triada," the company said in March.

 

But on Thursday, Germany's information security agency warned about firmware-based malicious software circulating on several Android smartphone models, including the Doogee BL7000, the M Horse Pure 1, and the Keecoo P11. It isn't clear if the phones were affected by the same Triada adware or a different malware family. But German authorities have detected more than 20,000 affected devices in the country alone.

 

In the Triada case, the hackers hid the adware, which was capable of communicating with a command and control server on the internet, on the system images as a backdoor. The mysterious culprits then leveraged the backdoor to install unwanted apps on the affected devices to display ads.

More Trouble for Huawei: No More Facebook on New Phones

 

Just when it seemed that things couldn't get much worse for Huawei, it may soon not be able to sell phones with the worldโ€™s most popular social networks. Facebook will reportedly no longer allow the Chinese telecom giant to preinstall Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram apps on its phones.

 

According to Reuters, if you already have a Huawei phone you should be able to continue receiving updates to Facebook-owned apps. The change will only affect new phones. Facebook and Huawei did not respond to requests for comment.

 

Facebook's decision is the latest fallout from the US government's decision last month to add Huawei to a list of companies that, due to national security concerns, must get permission to buy US-made technology, including software. US companies are now refusing to sell microchips and other components to Huawei. Google has revoked licenses for Huawei to install its software, such as the Google Play app store and Gmail, on its phones.

 

Huawei, the second largest maker of smartphones worldwide according to IDC, is still allowed to use the freely available, open source version of the Android operating system on its new phones. Users of those phones should still be able to access Facebook through the web and install WhatsApp by downloading the app directly from the WhatsApp website. Installers for other apps, such as Facebook Messenger and Instagram, are also available from third parties on the web. But without official support from companies like Google and Facebook, it's possible that some apps might not work as expected.

 

In China, where Facebook and Google are banned and alternatives like the search engine Baidu and the messaging app WeChat dominate, that might not be a big deal. But for users in other countries, such as Europe, the lack of popular US-owned applications could make Huawei phones less attractive.

 

The US has long worried that Huawei could use its telecom equipment to spy for the Chinese government. Huawei denies that it has ever, or would ever, spy on its customers and is suing the US government over a law banning government agencies from doing business with companies that use technology from Huawei and ZTE. Huawei has also argued that Chinese law does not require it to spy for the Chinese government, though legal scholars aren't convinced by the companyโ€™s logic.

 

Some non-US companies, including UK chipmaker Arm, are cutting ties with Huawei because some of their technology is developed in the US. Analysts say the company has stockpiles of chips, and Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in a media statement last month that it will be able to make its own chips to replace those of US chipmakers. Indeed, the US sanctions give Chinese companies all the more reason to stop relying on foreign-made technologies. But it could take years for Huawei and other Chinese companies to divorce themselves from US suppliers.
