The CIA has been trying hijack Apple's encryption and developer tools

March 10, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 1 Comment



iSpy: The CIA Campaign to Steal Apple’s Secrets
Researchers working with the Central Intelligence Agency have conducted a multi-year, sustained effort to break the security of Apple’s iPhones and iPads.

The Central Intelligence Agency researchers have been waging a multi-year campaign to break the security systems used by Apple on its devices.

The Intercept claims to have received documents outlining methods the CIA has considered to access data on Apple products. The usual talk of decrypting and vulnerabilities is present, but there's one technique in particular that seems especially nefarious. Reportedly, the CIA went as far as creating a modified version of Xcode (an Apple tool that developers use to make apps). The hijacked Xcode would unwittingly include code in the final app without the developer knowing. The Intercept's sources also claim OS X's updater (that automatically installs the latest version of OS X) was targeted with a modification that would install a keylogger onto your Mac. Fun. No word on if they're already trying to get into the shiney new AppleWatch.

Hide your mac! bootkit for OS X can permanently backdoor Macs

January 8, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 32 Comments

 

Dubbed Thunderstrike, because it spreads through maliciously modified peripheral devices that connect to a Mac's Thunderbolt interface. When plugged into a Mac that's in the process of booting up, the device injects what's known as an Option ROM into the extensible firmware interface (EFI), the firmware responsible for starting a Mac's system management mode and enabling other low-level functions before loading the OS. The Option ROM replaces the RSA encryption key Macs use to ensure only authorized firmware is installed. From there, the Thunderbolt device can install malicious firmware that can't easily be removed by anyone who doesn't have the new key.

Do not try and bend the iPhone. That's impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth

October 3, 2014 by Paul Spoerry 4 Comments

Boy: "Do not try and bend the iPhone. That's impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth."

Neo: "What truth?"

Boy: "There is no iPhone."

Neo: "There is no iPhone?"

Boy: "Then you'll see, that it is not the iPhone that bends, CRACK! Crap I broke another one ."

You take the Apple flavored blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the Android pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
