Data van GGD, gemeente Groningen en #VeiligThuis in handen van de VS en Israël. ‘Dit is ernstig, echt een blunder’.

De sleutelposities van Kiteworks, worden ingenomen door voormalige leden van een elite-eenheid van het Israëlische leger. Vanwege deze overname, het vallen onder Amerikaanse wetgeving en de nauwe verwevenheid met de Israëlische spionage-elite-eenheid van het #IDF zouden alle alarmbellen in Nederland moeten afgaan.

"EFF works closely on issues like encryption to defend the right to private communications in Europe. For years, EFF fought hard against an EU proposal that, if it became law, would have pressured online services to abandon end-to-end encryption. We joined together with EU allies and urged people to sign the “Don’t Scan Me” petition. We lobbied EU lawmakers and urged them to protect their constituents’ human right to have a private conversation—backed up by strong encryption. Our message broke through, and a key EU committee adopted a position that bars the mass scanning of messages and protects end-to-end encryption. It also bars mandatory age verification whereby users would have had to show ID to get online. As Member States are still debating their position on the proposal, this fight is not over yet. But we are encouraged by the recent European Court of Human Rights ruling which confirmed that undermining encryption violates fundamental rights to privacy. EFF will continue to advocate for this to governments, and the corporations providing our messaging services.

As we’ve said many times, both in Europe and the U.S., there is no middle ground to content scanning and no “safe backdoor” if the internet is to remain free and private. Either all content is scanned and all actors—including authoritarian governments and rogue criminals—have access, or no one does. EFF will continue to advocate for the right to a private conversation, and hold the EU accountable to the international and European human rights protections that they are signatories to."

Bin ich übervorsichtig oder geht das jetzt nicht wirklich etwas weit?

Ich finde es schon nervig und unsicher, das viele Geräte danach fragen ob sie mein WLAN Passwort in der Cloud speichern sollen, was ich auch immer verneine. Nun habe ich entdeckt, dass man sich sich bei Samsung das WLAN Passwort als QR-Code ausgeben lassen kann. Lese ich diesen mit einem Scanner, steht da mein Passwort in Klartext. Finde ich sehr bedenklich, kann ich das verhindern?
Wie sichert ihr euer WLAN ab?
