Can someone please give me independent confirmation of this?

Excusing El Reg, I have no idea how much western coverage this is actually getting: piunikaweb.com/2018/04/17/tel…

My heart goes out to @telegram ; I still feel they are sketchy as hell, I don't trust their weird cryptography, bizarre approach to E2E provisions, nor am I a fan of @durov in general, but this is (a) important and (b) funny as hell, and I hope they keep it up.

1/ Applying this idea to WhatsApp, it would mean that—upon receiving a court order—the company would be required to convert a 1-on-1 conversation into a group chat, with the government as the third member of the chat. But that’s not all.
2/ In WhatsApp’s UX, users can verify the security of a conversation by comparing “security codes” within the app. So for the ghost to work, there would have to be a way of forcing both users’ clients to lie to them by showing a falsified security code, ...

THREAD: QUESTION FOR ALL SECURITY PEOPLE — in this day and age, would you buy a single-vendor IT security solution which advertised itself as "the gold standard" for data security protection?

Would you give that claim any credence whatsoever?
The infosec world has a long-established term for such glib claims: "Snake Oil" - this terminology goes back to the 1990s or earlier, for vendors who were selling sub-par cryptography as "military-grade" or other supposed but meaningless description interhack.net/people/cmcurti…
Particularly telling for "Snake Oil" are the words and phrases that are used to describe the security solution, process, or tool, its development, mechanism, or vendor:

* "Trust Us, We Know What We're Doing"
* "Unbreakability"
* "Military Grade"

@breenemachine @alexstamos 1/ Well, I've been doing this stuff to 30 years and still learn every day/week; that said, the generalities are several thousand years old and after a while you will see the same issues coming up in new clothes. But you can read around the topic in your own time. […]
@breenemachine @alexstamos 2/ Maybe half of the people I have worked with in infosec have been CS students. There is no barrier to entry. I have worked with chemists, physicists (me = astronomer), med students, linguists, performing arts students, english lit majors, and some have have no college degree.
@breenemachine @alexstamos 3/ There are 2x main paths to learning: 1 is to seek formal education - cyber-this, ethical-hacking-that - and it's fine. You'll learn, but if you only learn "security stuff" then you'll be a pentester, and I love pentesters but lord, we have enough already.

@RepMarkMeadows We will discuss the following article, knowing what we know now.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
@RepMarkMeadows It sure sounds like this is referring to George, and it is highly likely there are recordings. We should hear those recordings.

George wasn’t meeting with Russians, he was meeting with Western Intel assets.
@RepMarkMeadows This entire passage is incorrect.

Trump associates were intentionally targeted and there was no five eyes Intel.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Much of the gold stolen by the Nazis from Jews & others, then hidden during the end of World War Two, was presumably lost & never officially recovered.

"Raubgold", i.e. "robbery gold" or "rape gold", is the German colloquialism for metals thus seized.

Versunkene Schätze in Deutschland
Der Goldschatz der Nazis

Von Markus Brauer 03. August 2018 - 07:00 Uhr

"Sunken treasures in Germany

The gold treasure of the Nazis

By Markus Brauer 03. August 2018 - 07:00 o'clock"
"Before & during World War 2, the National Socialists robbed invaluable assets - money, gold, paintings. This robbery gold is not the only treasure in Germany around which myths are entwined."

"...Ostensibly, raubgold has been shipped via U-Boat to Argentina..."

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?
