German researchers at the Horst Gortz Institute for IT-Security (HGI) at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) have cracked the encryption algorithms of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which is used globally for satellite telephones, and revealed significant weaknesses. In less than an hour, and with simple equipment, they found the crypto key which is needed to intercept telephone conversations. Using open-source software and building on their previous research results, they were able to exploit the security weaknesses. http://phys.org/news247917956.html Technology Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:06:13 EST news247917956 (AP) -- A federal judge on Wednesday tossed out more than three dozen lawsuits filed against the nation's telecommunications companies for allegedly taking part in the government's e-mail and telephone eavesdropping program that was done without court approval. http://phys.org/news163272274.html Technology Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:25:10 EST news163272274 Plans by Internet service providers to deliver targeted adverts to consumers based on their Web searches threaten online privacy and should be opposed, the founder of the Web said Wednesday. http://phys.org/news159623208.html Technology Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:47:18 EST news159623208
