Apple and Google say they’re workinig on new contact tracing tech to fight the pandemic. First will come an app-based solution, followed by a deeper, OS-level implementation that relies on Bluetooth LE. https://t.co/JSGni39trP https://t.co/pINezihwV5 https://t.co/WAfo6mpfgC — PolitiTweet.org

Zoom says these were the vulnerabilities fixed on April 1. Full statement: https://t.co/KvNeYp4zmp — PolitiTweet.org

Particularly now, Amazon has revealed itself to be an essential service to so many people, not just in e-commerce but in a range of other areas. That says a lot about the value it provides! But also a lot about the enormous hold it has on many of us. https://t.co/NhFKapILJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

All that time at home means more curling up with your Kindle e-reader, or talking to your Amazon Echo, or watching Amazon Originals on Prime Video. All these activities, by the way, are creating valuable data for Amazon services. Its reach knows no bounds. https://t.co/NhFKapILJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Before the pandemic, Amazon’s Twitch was already one of the top 10 video streaming sites on the entire internet. Now it’s become a place where you can find pro athletes streaming themselves gaming. https://t.co/NhFKapILJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon owns Audible, which told me that since it launched a special site with free audiobooks as a response to COVID-19, the site has gotten “millions of daily visitors.” https://t.co/NhFKaq0mAB — PolitiTweet.org

We all know demand for packages from Amazon is booming. But Amazon’s reach is vast. It makes most of its profit from Amazon Web Services, whose customers include Zoom and Netflix. A boost in usage for them means more revenue for Amazon. https://t.co/NhFKapILJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

I took a look at how, amid the pandemic, our growing reliance on Amazon could further entrench its dominance. As James Bailey, a GWU business school professor, put it: "Every crisis creates a void. And whatever force fills that void, inherits power.” https://t.co/NhFKapILJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

The third flaw enables social engineering attacks. Per SAA, Zoom automatically converts URLs into clickable hyperlinks, which makes it easier to conduct phishing attempts. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
That flaw depends on an attacker running malware within Zoom’s process space that “inherits” all of Zoom’s access privileges, according to the SAA. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
A second flaw, per SAA, could allow attackers to remotely activate a device’s microphone and webcam without the owner’s consent. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The SAA advisory said that as of April 2, Zoom had only patched one of the vulnerabilities, which were described as 0-days. The first flaw hinges on physical access of the device and takes advantage of Zoom’s “AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges” function to gain system access. — PolitiTweet.org

@SunlenSerfaty Whoops, typo earlier — I meant to say the alert highlights *three* flaws and not two. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, House officials are reevaluating the FedRAMP version of Zoom, an aide told @SunlenSerfaty. — PolitiTweet.org

AFAIK this may be the highest-level government advisory yet highlighting Zoom security. "Users are reminded and encouraged to use SAA provided devices and resources, such as email, SharePoint and other provided applications,” per the alert, a copy of which I’ve seen and read. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate sergeant at arms has warned lawmakers' offices to avoid using Zoom over security concerns. The advisory, dated April 2 and reviewed by CNN, cited two flaws in Zoom and urged Senate staff to use "preferred and supported” software such as Skype for Business. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook’s newest app — a messaging tool for couples — is another example of how the tech industry has slowly privatized communication that once took place on open, unsiloed protocols. https://t.co/IcNR71EmIG — PolitiTweet.org
