New Whiffy Recon #malware uses #WiFi to triangulate your location
If the WLAN service is running, the malware scans every minute and sends requests to Google's geolocation #API. Can enable tracking of an infected device in real time.
@sec_yote_agenda yeah, that's very sad and I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone - whether they just wasted time waiting or even took money and ran...
Granted I'm more used in #IT and espechally #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec and #ComSec where a minor fuckup will ruin decades of reputation-building in seconds and it's more or less impossible to recover from that...

„Despite being widely used and relying on secret cryptography, TETRA had never been subjected to in-depth public security research in its 20+ year history as a result of this secrecy.“
Also like any #cellular#radio system, #TETRA devices constantly transmit data, making it trivial to locate and track any radio through passive #SIGINT.
The same way LEAs track peoples' mobile phones.
Likewise this is systemic per design and thus unfixable!
So basically the #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec and thanks to #Windows the #ITsec of LEAs are f**ked and the correct fix is in between "impossible" and "painful to implement over more than a year"...
