Gogo, the inflight Wi-Fi provider, is used by millions of airline passengers each year to stay connected while flying the friendly skies. But if you think the long arm of government surveillance doesn't have a vertical reach, think again. According to a letter Gogo submitted to the Federal Communications Commission, the company voluntarily exceeded the requirements of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, by adding capabilities to its service at the request of law enforcement. The revelation alarms civil liberties groups, which say companies should not be cutting deals with the government that may enhance the ability to monitor or track users. “CALEA itself is a massive infringement on user’s rights,” says Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “Having ISP’s [now] that say that CALEA isn’t enough, we’re going to be even more intrusive in what we collect on people is, honestly, scandalous.” Gogo provides inflight Wi-Fi and digital entertainment to Delta, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Virgin America, US Airways and others using a dedicated air-to-ground network that GoGo says it designed in consultation with law enforcement.

You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry—you’d better not use that public Wi-Fi. The holiday season is upon us and in addition to more flash sales, baked goods, and travel time—this meansmore online scams. A recent survey of American travelers revealed that the majority of us are not taking measures to protect ourselves when using public Wi-Fi. Numerous forms of malware can be delivered over unsecured connections, so when traveling for the holidays you’re more vulnerable than ever to a cyber break in.
That’s why on the road, in the air, or otherwise on the go this holiday season, it’s more important than ever that you watch where you connect.

Une récente étude montre qu'en Grande-Bretagne, les salariés exposent très facilement les données de leurs entreprises sur les réseaux Wi-Fi publics (hotspots).
L'étude de GFI ne concerne malheureusement pas les travailleurs français, mais la problématique de la sécurité des données des entreprises est aujourd'hui la même dans tous les pays : les données numériques sont à la fois volatiles et précieuses. Cela dit, les informations personnelles valent aussi de l'or ! Prudence donc sur les hotspots Wi-Fi…

It’s summer holiday season, when people pack up their smartphones and tablets, sunscreen and tank tops and set off for a change of pace. With connected devices it’s never been easier to find one’s way around, record memories, and stay in touch with friends back home.
But while technology makes traveling easier, a recent F-Secure survey pinpointed digital areas that need special consideration while on the road.

Serious vulnerabilities have been reported in popular home wireless routers that would enable an attacker to gain remote access to the device, modify firmware and launch attacks.
Gust MEES's insight:
“I hooked it up and spent maybe 30 minutes testing the security of the embedded website used to manage the device, then never used it again,” Purviance wrote on his blog of the EA2700. “What I found was so terrible, awful, and completely inexcusable! It only took 30 minutes to come to the conclusion that ==> any network with an EA2700 router on it is an insecure network!” <==

Late last month, a Siamese cat named Coco went wandering in his suburban Washington, DC neighborhood. He spent three hours exploring nearby backyards. He killed a mouse, whose carcass he thoughtfully brought home to his octogenarian owner, Nancy. And while he was out, Coco mapped dozens of his neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks, identifying four routers that used an old, easily-broken form of encryption and another four that were left entirely unprotected.
