We all know the APT numbers for #FancyBear and #CozyBear β€” #APT28 and #APT29. Both are attributed to Russian #intelligence. #APT1 through 27 are all from #China. Only the #EquationGroup doesn’t have an official APT number? Wake up, you sleeping sheepβ€”we’re being thoroughly taken for a ride here. The Equation Groupβ€”run by the #NSA or #CIA β€” is probably the most dangerous group in the world, and yet it’s the one that doesn’t appear under any number on the #APT list? Who are you trying to fool here when it comes to #cybersecurity?

ο½’ This deal was always built on sand, but the EU business lobby and the European Commission wanted it anyways. Instead of stable legal limitations, the EU agreed to executive promises that can be overturned in seconds. Now that the first Trump waves hit this deal, it quickly throws many EU businesses into a legal limbo ο½£

#EU #PressFreedom #MediaLaw #Surveillance #Journalism #Spyware: "EU governments want to allow state surveillance of journalists and their interlocutors, including the use of spyware, if security authorities deem it necessary. This is according to documents from the ongoing EU negotiations on the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), seen by Investigate Europe, netzpolitik.org and Follow the Money.

The EU media law, proposed by the European Commission last September, intends to protect journalists and the media against political control by governments and owners. These are visibly endangering freedom of expression and media diversity in several EU countries, most notably in Poland and Hungary but also elsewhere, as experts like the authors of the annual Media Pluralism Monitor report at the European University Institute in Florence, have warned for years."
