  9. How to Stop Apple From Snooping on Your OS X Yosemite Searches Today’s web users have grudgingly accepted that search terms they type into Google are far from private. But over the weekend, users of Apple’s latest operating system discovered OS X Yosemite pushes the limits of data collection tolerance one step further: its desktop search tool Spotlight uploads your search terms in real time to Apple’s remote servers, by default. Fortunately for Apple’s angry users, however, this is one privacy invasion that’s easy to cut short. Apple describes the new “feature” as an effort to include search results in Spotlight from iTunes, its App Store, and the Internet. If the user has enabled “Location Services” on his or her Mac, the computer’s location will be siphoned up to Apple, too, “to make suggestions more relevant to you.” And Apple notes on a Spotlight preferences description that the search terms will also be shared with Microsoft’s Bing search engine, an even more surprising destination for queries that Mac users likely believed they were typing in the privacy of their own computer. “This is a very disappointing move for Apple,” said Runa Sandvik, a privacy-focused developer for the Freedom of the Press Foundation and a former developer for the anonymity software Tor. Why is this such a problem? She points to the hypothetical example of a journalist searching for sensitive files on his or her own computer, words which would then be shared with both Apple and Microsoft. Sandvik notes that Apple doesn’t collect the private results of those desktop searches, and that Microsoft receives only common search terms from Spotlight without any personally identifying information about users. But given that Yosemite’s search-term-sucking setting is enabled by default, many users won’t even be aware of it. “For Apple to automatically learn about your location and your search terms when you’re using your computer normally isn’t something a lot of people would approve of if they knew about it,” A screenshot of the Spotlight settings. Turning off functions 19, 20 and 21 will prevent Spotlight search terms from being shared with Apple and Microsoft. Luckily, Yosemite’s search-snooping can be switched off in seconds. In Mac OS X’s System Preferences, the functions can be found under “Spotlight” and then “Search Results.” From there you need to disable “Spotlight Suggestions,” “Bookmarks and History,” and “Bing Web Searches.” If you use Safari you will then need to disable the same “Spotlight Suggestions” function in the browser (under “Preferences” and then “Search”) to avoid having terms you type into its address bar shared with Apple by default too. To make that privacy fix even simpler, developer Landon Fuller has written it into a simple Python script that he calls “Fix-MacOSX,” which he’s made available for download. “Mac OS X has always respected user privacy by default, and Mac OS X Yosemite should too,” the site reads. “Since it doesn’t, you can use the code to the left to disable the parts of Mac OS X which are invasive to your privacy.” The script is only the first step in what Fuller describes as a continuing project to identify ways that Yosemite “phones home” to Apple and to plug those privacy leaks. As easy as the fix for Apple’s new Spotlight leaks may be, it’s unlikely most people will change their default settings, says Sandvik. That could potentially make their search and location data available to marketers or even law enforcement. She contrasts Apple’s aggressive new desktop data collection with its move to encrypt iOS devices so that even police with a warrant can’t force Apple to unlock them—a change widely applauded by privacy advocates. “Apple is talking about encryption in iOS on the one hand, and then they make this move with OS X, to enable al this logging and tracking by default,” she says. “It’s something not a lot of users are going to be aware of.”
  10. Whatsapp Just Switched on End-to-End Encryption Growing up in Soviet Ukraine in the 1980s, Whatsapp founder Jan Koum learned to distrust the government and detest its surveillance. After he emigrated to the U.S. and created his ultra-popular messaging system decades later, he vowed that Whatsapp would never make eavesdropping easy for anyone. Now, Whatsapp is following through on that anti-snooping promise at an unprecedented scale. Whatsapp announced that it’s implementing end-to-end encryption, an upgrade to its privacy protections that makes it nearly impossible for anyone to read users’ messages—even the company itself. Whatsapp will integrate the open-source software Textsecure, created by privacy-focused non-profit Open Whisper Systems, which scrambles messages with a cryptographic key that only the user can access and never leaves his or her device. The result is practically uncrackable encryption for hundreds of millions of phones and tablets that have Whatsapp installed—by some measures the world’s largest-ever implementation of this standard of encryption in a messaging service. Textsecure has actually already been quietly encrypting Whatsapp messages between Android devices for a week. The new encryption scheme means Whatsapp messages will now travel all the way to the recipients’ device before being decrypted, rather than merely being encrypted between the user’s device and Whatsapp’s server. The change is nearly invisible, though Marlinspike says Whatsapp will soon add a feature to allow users to verify each others’ identities based on their cryptographic key, a defense against man-in-the-middle attacks that intercept conversations. “Ordinary users won’t know the difference,” says Marlinspike. “It’s totally frictionless.” “THIS IS THE LARGEST DEPLOYMENT OF END-TO-END ENCRYPTION EVER.” In its initial phase, though, Whatsapp’s messaging encryption is limited to Android, and doesn’t yet apply to group messages, photos or video messages. Marlinspike says that Whatsapp plans to expand its Textsecure rollout into those other features and other platforms, including Apple’s iOS, soon. He wouldn’t specify an exact time frame, and Whatsapp staffers declined to comment on the new encryption features. Marlinspike says the Textsecure implementation has been in the works for six months, since shortly after Whatsapp was acquired by Facebook last February. Whatsapp’s Android users alone represent a massive new user base for end-to-end encrypted messaging: Whatsapp’s page in the Google Play store lists more than 500 million downloads. Textsecure had previously been installed on only around 10 million gadgets running the Cyanogen mod variant of Android and about 500,000 other devices. The only encrypted messaging system that compares in size is Apple’s iMessage, which also claims to use a version of end-to-end encryption. Compared with Textsecure, however, Apple’s iMessage security has some serious shortcomings. iMessage doesn’t track which devices’ cryptographic keys are associated with a certain user, so Apple could simply create a new key the user wasn’t aware of to start intercepting his or her messages. Additionally, many users unwittingly back up their stored iMessages to Apple’s iCloud, which renders any end-to-end encryption moot. Plus, unlike Textsecure, iMessage doesn’t use a feature called “forward secrecy” that creates a new encryption key for each message sent. This means that anyone who collects a user’s encrypted messages and successfully cracks a user’s key can decrypt all their communications, not just the one message that uses that key. Whatsapp’s rollout of strong encryption to hundreds of millions of users may be an unpopular move among governments around the world, whose surveillance it could make far more difficult. Whatsapp’s user base is highly international, with large populations of users in Europe and India. But Whatsapp founder Jan Koum has been vocal about his opposition to cooperating with government snooping. “I grew up in a society where everything you did was eavesdropped on, recorded, snitched on,”
