The FBI Can Now Search Your Browser History

May 21, 2020 11:00 - 45 minutes - 62.1 MB

Since the dawn of the Patriot Act, a sweeping surveillance bill enacted shortly after 9/11, it’s been both the bane of privacy hawks and the favourite tool of the Intelligence Community. But lately, the Senate, courtesy of Mitch McConnell, helped the IC by giving agencies like the FBI the power to warrantlessly search the browser history of American citizens. That’s terrifying and today we’ve got Motherboard editor/reporter Janus Rose on to breakdown how this happened and what’s next. Hoste...

May 14, 2020 11:00 - 41 minutes - 56.5 MB

On the show, we talk a lot about the state of Orwellian world we’ve found ourselves in: big data, corporate and governmental surveillance. You know, Big Brother. But where did it come from? What’s it’s historical context?

The Senator Who Believes in UFOs

May 07, 2020 11:00 - 33 minutes - 46.3 MB

In 2017, amidst the backdrop of the Mueller investigation and Russian spy paranoia, the world learned, via a New York Times bombshell, that the Pentagon had a top secret UFO program. The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, AATIP for short, had a $22 million dollar black budget and looked into an aerial threat nobody could understand: UFOs. The details were terrifying, US fighter jet pilots regularly came into contact with other worldly flying objects that nobody understood. T...

NSO Employee Abused Phone Hacking Tech to Target a Love Interest

April 30, 2020 11:00 - 28 minutes - 39.8 MB

Back in 2013, between the many revelations on mass surveillance abuses by the NSA coming from the trove of Snowden leaks, Americans also learned agents at the signals intelligence agency were snooping on their love interests. Dubbed LOVEINT (a play on ‘Love-Intelligence,’ apparently), a number of agents around the world were caught spying on their love interests using the godlike spy tools of the NSA.  Now an employee from an infamous surveillance company was caught trying to do the exact s...

Russian Spies And The Media

April 23, 2020 11:00 - 44 minutes - 61.4 MB

The DNC hack. It was a tale of espionage and intrigue. But behind closed doors, Russian intelligence knew just how to play the media in a liberal democracy. And that is a tale as old as time. Thomas Rid, a world renowned academic on national security and intelligence, wrote a new book called Active Measures tracing secret history psychological warfare over a century. On this week’s episode we have him on the show.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why the United States Isn't Ready for Online Voting

April 16, 2020 11:00 - 33 minutes - 46 MB

The mechanics of voting really hasn’t changed since the dawn of democracy. People line up, mark a ballot for their candidate and then leave. But in today’s pandemic, the lines for the Wisconsin primary illustrated the legitimate dangers of having thousands of people line up with one another to vote. Likewise, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo delayed his state’s primaries from April to June for the same reason. All of this forces us to ask the question: In an age where everything is done onli...

The Cyber Mercenaries Who Can’t Stay Out Of Bad News

April 09, 2020 11:00 - 29 minutes - 40.8 MB

It was implicated in the hacking and spying of activists in Mexico. It may have helped the Saudis kill and behead Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, it’s inserting itself into the pandemic news as if it needed more bad press. NSO Group, the infamous Israeli spyware company with links to intelligence agencies, developed software tracking coronavirus-infected citizens. But, as our Motherboard reporter Lorenzo Franceschi Bicchierai tells us, that’s likely just a way for it to exp...

Zoom's Boom In Popularity Reveals Privacy Issues

April 02, 2020 11:00 - 28 minutes - 39.8 MB

This time of pandemic and social isolation is introducing a lot of new normals to us all. While we’re all holed up in our apartments, the need to interact with our friends and the outside world hasn’t just suddenly ended. In fact, people are FaceTiming and setting up Google Hangouts just to feel normal. But one app, that I never even heard of until now, seems to be coming out on top as the choice video conferencing platform: Zoom.  And its services have allowed us all to have chaotic Zoom ...

How Amazon Has Continued To Exploit Its Workers During the Pandemic

March 26, 2020 11:00 - 29 minutes - 40.4 MB

Right now, many people are sitting indoors quarantined from the world, stocked up on supplies and watching way too much Netflix. Some might even feel the impulse to order goods to their doorstep. So they fire up their Amazon Prime accounts and order some quarantine trinkets.  Before this plague happened that whole process seemed completely normal. But behind that push of a button an entire workforce of Amazon workers, some with no health insurance or a union protecting their employment, are...

How Governments Might Use Coronavirus to Chip Away At Our Privacy

March 19, 2020 11:00 - 24 minutes - 33.2 MB

Yes, friends, this week’s CYBER podcast was recorded from the comfort of our apartments. Because, well, the global pandemic.  Today on the show, we thought it would be important to discuss how coronavirus will affect state and corporate surveillance. Yes, because, like 9/11 and the quick enactment of the Patriot Act, there is already evidence of a boom for the spy industry. One company is advertising tech that leverages video surveillance software it says can spot people who have a fever, w...

This Small Company Has Turned Utah Into a Surveillance Panopticon

March 12, 2020 12:39 - 43 minutes - 59.5 MB

It’s cliche to say it, but it’s true, we’re living in a frighteningly similar world to George Orwell’s 1984. Where it’s not just people that are spies, but everything can be a spy. And people are making money off of it to fuel this Big Brother world. It’s a panopticon of mass surveillance and here at Motherboard, Jason Koebler and Emanuel Maiberg broke the news of yet another company hawking its dystopian services. Hosted on Acast.

North Korea's Hackers Are Still Active, and What Data Clearview AI Has on You

March 05, 2020 12:00 - 29 minutes - 39.9 MB

In late 2014, North Korean hackers made their blockbuster debut in popular culture after the infamous Sony hack. It was one of those watershed cybersecurity moments when a hacking story finally dominated news headlines with a made for Hollywood plot: A Seth Rogen stoner comedy catching the ire of the Hermit Kingdom so much so that Kim Jong Un deployed his team of skillful hackers to embarrass the movie company that made the film.  Even when the NSA confirmed North Korea was the culprit, peo...

How Cameo’s Private Celebrity Videos Were Open to the World

February 27, 2020 12:00 - 30 minutes - 41.9 MB

It used to be that if you wanted to interact with your favourite celebrity you’d have to do elaborate things like camp out near a red carpet in Hollywood, lying in wait, until you finally got the chance to scream-ask Queen Bey for her autograph amongst a gaggle of other fans. Well, in 2020, like everything else in this world, including our dating lives, our health, and voting there’s an app for paying celebrities to give you personalized shoutout videos. That’s right, the app Cameo provides...

Jeff Bezos’ Meteoric Rise, and Kickstarter’s Historic New Union

February 20, 2020 12:00 - 42 minutes - 57.9 MB

When we think of the titans of industry, we used to think of names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt. But today, in 2020, we have new names that dominate the world economy: Zuckerberg, Cook, Musk, and Thiel. Above them stands one man: Jeff Bezos. Although those names control industries that are less obvious than the sprouting giant steel bridges or skyscrapers of the Second Industrial Revolution, their products arguably have just as big of an impact on our lives. Silicon Valley has...

Stealing Luxury Cars Has Never Looked So Easy

February 13, 2020 12:00 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MB

Luxury cars, like everything else in this entire world, including sex toys, pacemakers, firearms, the electric grid, and ISIS, can be hacked. But most people aren't hackers, which is why a device that can automatically hack a keyless entry vehicle by the push of a button is quite useful for car thieves The so-called “relay attack” is ideal for the era of increasingly digitized vehicles, requires something called a “keyless repeater” to fake the signal of the keys to a targeted car and ultim...

The Truths Behind UFOs, and The App That Blew Up The Iowa Caucus

February 06, 2020 12:00 - 42 minutes - 57.7 MB

Drugs, Cannibals, and Identity Theft: The Truth Behind The Dark Web

January 30, 2020 12:00 - 36 minutes - 49.6 MB

The Dark Web has been around for as long as the internet has existed, but most people still don't know what it actually is.

On this week's Cyber, we've invited VP of Research at Terbium Labs and Dark Web expert Emily Wilson to talk us through what the Dark Web actually is, a few of its most infamous websites, and how it's a part of more p...

Jeff Bezos Is Hacked and Uber Is Capitalism at its Worst

January 23, 2020 12:00 - 33 minutes - 45.8 MB

In a special breaking edition of Cyber Cipher, Joseph Cox sits down with us to go over the alleged hacking of Jeff Bezos' phone by Saudi Arabia. After the break we have one of Motherboard’s newest reporters on the Uber beat, Edward Ongweso Jr., to tell us all about Uber and its troubles. When Uber truly came onto the scene in the mid-2010s it completely up ended an entire, century-old cab industry. And revolutionized the way we pay for taxis, how we hail them and how we interact with them. Bu...

Whatever Happened To Anonymous?

January 16, 2020 12:00 - 46 minutes - 63.2 MB

At its height, the hacktivist collective known as Anonymous was the bane of Scientologists, the FBI, CIA, Mastercard, Paypal, Middle Eastern dictatorships, and in its latest effective iterations, even ISIS. But in recent years, Anonymous has all but disappeared. It leaves a legacy: It single-handedly brought back the Guy Fawkes mask as a true symbol of civil disobedience, was the obvious inspiration for the hit TV show Mr. Robot, and is also associated with all sorts of more nefarious and n...

Iranian Hacker Hysteria

January 09, 2020 12:00 - 28 minutes - 39.5 MB

If you’re at all plugged into the global news cycle, you’ll know the U.S. assassinated Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani, a commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and leader of the secretive Quds Force. Since that night, experts have been wondering what the blowback from Tehran will be. Naturally, in the age of cyberwarfare, people are getting pretty worried about the threat of Iranian hackers, who, if you were to believe some newscasts, are practically hiding in your modem...

Trolls, Hackers, Spies: The Cyber Decade

December 26, 2019 12:00 - 46 minutes - 63.6 MB

It occurred to us at Motherboard that for this final episode of CYBER in the 2010s we could recount the year in stories that we’ve done. The real scoops, traffic hogs, and think pieces. But then again, this is the decade that changed infosec. This was the decade that made hackers critical players on the world stage, our personal digital information sacred, and our political systems fixed into some strange, social media hellscape.  Since its founding in 2009, Motherboard has seen it all with...

The Hacker In My Ring Camera: A Tale of Trolls And A Podcast

December 19, 2019 10:14 - 31 minutes - 71.3 MB

Imagine installing security cameras in your house to protect your family. Then one day those cameras start talking to you. Trolling you, in fact. After last week when the news broke that Amazon’s super sketchy security camera company Ring, had its products compromised, Motherboard got even more scoop: There’s a livestream-podcast over a Discord channel where hackers take over people's Ring cameras and use their speakers to troll its owners in the comfort of their own homes. Then Motherboar...

How Scary Is Critical Infrastructure Hacking?

November 14, 2019 21:00 - 35 minutes - 82.1 MB

Some of the most fascinating hacks are the types that don’t just pwn a shady malware company, the trade secrets of America or embarass the Democratic National Committee, but the kinds that target water systems, nuclear power plants and the oil and gas sector. Critical infrastructure hacking was brought into the public psyche by former Secretary of State and CIA director, Leon Panetta, in a much taunted 2012 speech where he warns of a coming “Cyber Pearl Harbour.”  On this week’s CYBER we h...

How Google Torpedoed A Cybersecurity Rising Star

November 07, 2019 05:00 - 33 minutes - 76.8 MB

Originally a spawn of the Alphabet company—Google’s parent umbrella—Chronicle was a cybersecurity startup considered by many to be a game changer: it was going to leverage machine learning and Alphabet’s endless supply of malware samples and technical data via Google, and fuse it into an over the counter product that infosec units in companies all over the world could...

The Assassination of Blogger Martin Kok

October 31, 2019 09:10 - 27 minutes - 64 MB

The tale started with an encrypted phone company, Morroccan gangsters, the Scottish mafia, and a blogger. It ended with an assassination outside of a sex club in Amsterdam. Last week, Motherboard reporter Joseph Cox broke the news that MPC—a Scottish company that hawked special encrypted phones that could evade police surveillance—had been connected to the murder of crime blogger Martin Kok.

Inside the U.S. Cyber Army

October 24, 2019 09:00 - 49 minutes - 114 MB

The U.S. military prides itself on being one of the most powerful militaries on the face of the earth. The best trained, the best equipped with the latest wartech, the most mobile, with a power projection around the world. It’s why, sadly, as the Bureau of Investigative Journalism—which tracks U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Somalia—maintains that the American military has killed as many as over 12,000 people in targeted strikes since 2004. Of those numbers, close to ...

They have even used famous jihadist images of Osama bin Laden in their propaganda and glorify ISIS videos. After a spate of high-pr...

Lyft and Uber Are Having a Terrible, Awful, No-Good Time

October 04, 2019 09:00 - 28 minutes - 64.2 MB

The last few months have been decidedly horrible for rideshare apps Uber and Lyft, which were once the darlings of Wall Street investors who contributed billions of dollars in venture capital to help them disrupt an entire industry.   Now, there’s trouble on the horizon.   Lyft has been sued for sexual assault by at least 26 passengers in recent months. One driver was allowed to continue operating on the platform after a truly horrifying incident: He and several other men allegedly took ...

The Spy Who (Allegedly) Screwed Us

September 26, 2019 09:00 - 36 minutes - 82.6 MB

Catch the rat. Find the mole. It’s the classic scenario of a spy thriller.  Recently, a top spy in the Five Eyes collective—the secretive espionage and intel sharing alliance between agencies in the U.S., U.K., Canada, New Zealand and Australia—was caught trying to sell top secret information.

The Biggest iPhone Hack In History, Explained

September 12, 2019 09:00 - 26 minutes - 60 MB

At the end of August, researchers at Google dropped a bombshell: they had discovered malicious websites that they said were indiscriminately spreading iPhone malware for years. At certain points the websites were even using zero day exploits; attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities that Apple is not aware of.  Apple subsequently confirmed what various media reports found: that the malicious sites were particularly geared towards hacking Uighur muslims, many of whom live in Western Ch...

The Cyberwar In Yemen

September 05, 2019 09:00 - 24 minutes - 34.3 MB

By most accounts, the war in Yemen is a brutal and lethal tragedy of the modern world that has claimed the lives of thousands of people.  With the backing of western military industrial power, the Saudi-led coalition has undertaken a relentless bombing campaign against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels that ousted President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and his regime from the capital Sanaa in 2015. Human rights watchers have accused the Saudis and its allies of war-crimes and a string of attacks aga...

How to Track Malware

August 29, 2019 09:00 - 28 minutes - 65.9 MB

We’ve all heard of high profile hacks, like Stuxnet which basically took out the Iranian nuclear program, or that time when Seth Rogen’s stoner comedy made North Korea really, really pissed off and they hacked Sony. And the key to all of these hacks is malware, or software specifically and intentionally designed to damage computer systems.  But one thing some people often ask themselves is: what is malware, exactly? Well, ultimately just some lines of code. On this week’s CYBER we have som...

One of the World’s Most Wanted Hackers Speaks

July 25, 2019 11:00 - 16 minutes - 38.8 MB

The last time Phineas Fisher agreed to an interview with Motherboard, they made us recreate the whole thing with a puppet.  This time around, Phineas Fisher—one of the world’s most wanted hackers—wanted to make a statement on CYBER to deny he’s an agent of the Kremlin.
