…the recovered data included user SMS and voice call contents, user internet traffic, and cellular network signaling protocols… the team was able to collect unencrypted satellite data “from sea vessels owned by the US military,” along with traffic from multiple organizations within the Mexican government and military, including personnel records, narcotics activity, and military asset tracking…
Yes, we have stuff like HTTPS nowadays, but I think that given a certain importance of an application, transfered data should be encrypted on the application level as well.
https doesn’t hide metadata!
Steadily improving. I set up my webserver with ech which is the next step, hiding even the domain. A solid chunk of the internet uses cloudflare as an intermediary, which also has ech and only leaves “someone connected to some cloudflare page at this time for that amount of data”.
As more places roll out deep package inspection, I’m sure in due time more randomization for package sizes will follow, making even the amount of data uncertain.
Most web metadata is at the http layer anyway and has always been hidden by https.
So, they only encrypted what was being intercepted by the masses, that is, TV? Sounds right.
I suppose there are people around the world who still have one of those big dishes in their backyard and are listening in on everything.
Shoutout Save It For Parts on Youtube who has been decoding all sorts of satellite data for years.
Yeah. Everybody already knows this but also it’s fine because it’s mostly just weather satellites. It’s not as if spice satellites are unencrypted.
spice satellites
The spice must flow.
