On Monday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he
delivered a letter to President Biden last week where he pleaded for
the US not to prosecute Julian Assange and renewed an offer to grant
asylum to the WikiLeaks founder.

Lopez Obrador said he explained in the letter that Assange "did not
cause anyone’s death, did not violate any human rights and that he
exercised his freedom, and that arresting him would mean a permanent
affront to freedom of expression."

The Mexican leader said that he previously offered asylum to Assange
in a letter to President Trump at the end of his term and again at the
beginning of the Biden administration. Last month, Lopez Obrador
called Assange "the best journalist of our time."

Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for exposing US war crimes by
publishing documents he received from whistleblower and former Army
soldier Chelsea Manning. Lopez Obrador said earlier this month that if
Assange is sentenced to life in prison, there should be a campaign to
dismantle the statue of liberty.

"If they bring him to the US and sentence to the ultimate penalty, to
death in prison, then we will have to initiate a campaign for
dismantling the Statue of Liberty, presented by the French, because it
will no longer be a symbol of liberty," he said.

While Lopez Obrador is outspoken in his support for Assange, who is an
Australian citizen, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is not.
Albanese has rejected calls for him to demand that Washington drop its
extradition request.

Assange is currently being held in London’s Belmarsh Prison. British
Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved the extradition of Assange to
the US, and the WikiLeaks founder’s legal team lodged an appeal to her
ruling on July 1.

President López Obrador of Mexico delivered letter on Assange to
Biden at their presidential meeting last week https://t.co/PN66oVi28F
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 19, 2022

Assange is indicted on 17 counts of espionage and one count of
conspiracy to commit a computer crime for his role in obtaining and
publishing the leaks provided by Manning. But Assange used standard
journalistic practices to obtain the information, something many human
rights groups, journalist organizations, and UN officials have pointed
out.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared to pretend she was handcuffed
on Tuesday as police escorted the Democratic socialist and several
other lawmakers from a protest outside the Supreme Court.

As the Daily Mail notes, "Ocasio-Cortez was seen walking escorted away
by police with her hands crossed behind her back, as if she were in
handcuffs, but she was not. At one point she uncrossed her hands and
raised her fists to the other protesters."

the system partition is inside the extended super partition

it has secure boot enabled, so there are more hoops to navigate

Re: [ot][spam] log: trying to take control of my free government phone

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

the 'super' partition had about the same size and i tried to flash it.
this made it bootloop into fastboot.

it turns, websearching, that 'super' is an extended partition, that
contains 'system' inside it as a logical partition.

i reflashed my imaged super and the phone works again, AND ! it gives
the boot message that my bootloader is unlocked :D

it sounds like new versions of fastboot know to look inside the super
partition, even if mtkclient doesn't immediately do that

A quantum homomorphic encryption scheme for polynomial-sized circuits

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

Quantum homomorphic encryption (QHE) is an encryption method that allows 
quantum computation to be performed on one party's private data with the 
program provided by another party, without revealing much information about the 
data nor about the program to the opposite party.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.01166

The impossible science of quantum-decryption could start with recognition that 
much of our surrounding reality exists in a virtual homomorphic databank.

You find that one-armed man.

enticing rocking posts from jim bell via tracking links

i looked for the quantum programming book in library genesis but it's
not there yet. there are older books, though, you could just look up
how to gain access to quantum computers to try things out

the SATAn paper is https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.07413 . the attack is
not very new as far as i know.

This paper introduces a new type of attack on isolated, air-gapped
workstations. Although air-gap computers have no wireless
connectivity, we show that attackers can use the SATA cable as a
wireless antenna to transfer radio signals at the 6 GHz frequency
band. The Serial ATA (SATA) is a bus interface widely used in modern
computers and connects the host bus to mass storage devices such as
hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives. The
prevalence of the SATA interface makes this attack highly available to
attackers in a wide range of computer systems and IT environments. We
discuss related work on this topic and provide technical background.
We show the design of the transmitter and receiver and present the
implementation of these components. We also demonstrate the attack on
different computers and provide the evaluation. The results show that
attackers can use the SATA cable to transfer a brief amount of
sensitive information from highly secured, air-gap computers
wirelessly to a nearby receiver. Furthermore, we show that the attack
can operate from user mode, is effective even from inside a Virtual
Machine (VM), and can successfully work with other running workloads
in the background. Finally, we discuss defense and mitigation
techniques for this new air-gap attack.

Russia Delivers a Scathing Setback to Crypto

 Russia Delivers a Scathing Setback to Crypto 
https://share.newsbreak.com/1gp0afkg

Hardly a week goes by without the young crypto industry receiving some bad news.

The industry is currently playing a guessing game which consists of trying to 
guess which crypto company or crypto platform is next to be impacted by the 
liquidity crisis affecting prominent crypto lenders like Celsius Network, 
Voyager Digital and BlockFi.

This cash crunch crisis comes from the fall in cryptocurrency prices that led 
to a collapse of more than $2 trillion in the crypto market since November. The 
damages are substantial. Celsius and Voyager have filed for Chapter 11 
bankruptcy and their customers don't even know if they will be able to get 
their money back.

Other platforms like Babel Finance, CoinLoan or CoinFlex have suspended 
withdrawals, thus preventing their customers from having access to their funds. 
BlockFi was bailed out by cryptocurrency exchange FTX.com.

Another difficulty for the sector is how to bring back retail investors, many 
of whom fled the crypto sector after suffering colossal losses? Some investors 
even lost everything following the crash of sister tokens Luna and UST in May. 
Three Arrows Capital, also known as 3AC, a crypto hedge fund was forced into 
liquidation.

As if that were not enough, bad news has just arrived from Russia. Indeed, 
President Vladimir Putin has just signed a tougher law against cryptocurrencies 
after it was passed by the Russian National Assembly or Duma on July 8.

This law banned any payment for assets, goods, products and services with 
digital means or any utility tokens. It is the latest legal arsenal adopted by 
Moscow to prevent cryptocurrencies from being used as a means of payment.

Crypto and Sanctions

The Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov had introduced a draft On Digital 
Currency in parliament for regulation of the sector in February.

The Russian government, however, didn't follow the recommendation of the 
Central Bank of Russia, which called in March for an outright ban on 
cryptocurrencies and the entire crypto industry in the country. The institution 
recommended a ban on trading, mining, and paying for goods and services with 
cryptocurrencies.

The Russian war in Ukraine may play a big role here. In the face of NATO 
sanctions, there has been a surge of interest in how Russia might use 
cryptocurrencies to sidestep sanctions. Selected Russian banks were 
disconnected from the SWIFT, a secure messaging system used by financial 
institutions, brokers, and investment firms.

Russia's economy has suffered under the sanctions with the ruble's value 
plummeting.

According to government figures,

SATAn hack can steal data directly from your SATA cable

 SATAn hack can steal data directly from your SATA cable 
https://share.newsbreak.com/1gozsduo

Researchers at the University of the Negev, Israel, have published a paper that 
demonstrates how a hacker could extract data from an otherwise secure system 
via its SATA cable. The attack uses the SATA cable itself as a form of wireless 
transmitter, and the data it carries can be intercepted as a form of radio 
signal in the 6GHz band. The attack is appropriately referred to as SATAn.

The researchers published a paper here (opens in new tab) (via Tom’s Hardware 
(opens in new tab)). They successfully demonstrated the technique and showed it 
in a video that’s included above. It has to be said that this kind of attack is 
complicated and requires specific malware to be installed on the target 
machine. It requires specialized shellcode to modify file system activity that 
generates identifiable radio signals from SATA cables.The electromagnetic 
leakage of the cables can be intercepted by a wireless receiver and replicated 
on a second device. The researchers entered the word ‘secret’ on the target 
machine, which was picked up by a second machine. It’s just a simple demo but 
there’s no reason that targeted malware couldn’t be used to extract passwords 
or other sensitive text information.

It’s a complicated method as it would require access to the target computer. An 
air gapped system without any network access would require malware to be 
directly installed. There’s also the problem that the SATA signal emission is 
weak and requires the receiving antenna to be around 1 meter away. It’s not 
easy to just walk up to a secure system and say hi.

A Beginner’s Guide to Quantum Programming

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

A Beginner’s Guide to Quantum Programming 
https://share.newsbreak.com/1govv8d9

A new guide on programming quantum algorithms leads programmers through every 
step, from theory to implementing the algorithms on IBM’s publicly accessible 
5-qubit ibmqx4 quantum computer and others.

The guide covers the fundamentals, along with a summary of the main quantum 
algorithms and instructions on how to implement them on publicly available 
quantum computers


As quantum computers proliferate and become more widely available, would-be 
quantum programmers are left scratching their brains over how to get started in 
the field. A new beginner’s guide offers a complete introduction to quantum 
algorithms and their implementation on existing hardware.“Writing quantum 
algorithms is radically different from writing classical computing programs and 
requires some understanding of quantum principles and the mathematics behind 
them,” said Andrey Y. Lokhov, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and 
lead author of the recently published guide in ACM Transactions on QuantAnother 
section looks at the various types of quantum algorithms. From there, the guide 
dives into the 20 selected algorithms, with a problem definition, description, 
and steps for implementing each one on the IBM or, in a few cases, other 
computers.




Extensive references at the end of the guide will help interested readers go 
deeper in their explorations of quantum algorithms.

The study was funded by the Information Science and Technology Institute at Los 
Alamos National Laboratory through the Laboratory Directed Research and 
Development program.

i'm thinking i could probably make this phone work by just treating it
like a mediatek phone.

i'm wondering if when spreadtrum rebranded to unisoc, they outsourced
some of their stuff to mediatek or whatever mediatek uses, like other
companies do as other companies grow bigger faster than they do.

this chipset is the first chipset produced by unisoc, after they
rebranded from spreadtrum.

i'm wondering if the people who said that spreadtrum wasn't like
mediatek, and was unreasonable to unlock, were talking about
pre-unisoc stuff.

Homeland Security Is Buying Its Way Around the Fourth Amendment

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

 Homeland Security Is Buying Its Way Around the Fourth Amendment 
https://share.newsbreak.com/1goc7w5v

American taxpayers pay to be spied upon. That's one takeaway from new documents 
obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has been examining 
how federal agents spent millions to purchase massive troves of cellphone 
location data and dodge Fourth Amendment requirements.

As part of a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the 
ACLU obtained thousands of previously unreleased records showing how DHS 
agencies—including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement (ICE)—are purchasing and accessing "huge volumes of 
people's cell phone location information quietly extracted from smartphone 
apps."

These agencies are "sidestepping our Fourth Amendment right against 
unreasonable government searches and seizures," suggests the ACLU.

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court held (in Carpenter v. United States) that under 
the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement must have a warrant before accessing a 
suspect's phone location data from cellular service providers. But federal 
authorities have been getting around this by purchasing aggregated cellphone 
location data from data broker firms like Venntel and Babel Street. And they're 
spending millions of taxpayer dollars doing it.

This was first revealed by the Wall Street Journal back in 2020. The ACLU then 
set out to learn more, filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and 
later suing to force DHS, ICE, and CBP to respond.

"Although the litigation is ongoing, we are now making public the records that 
CBP, ICE, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, and several offices 
within DHS Headquarters have provided us to date," the ACLU announced yesterday.

Cellphone location data purchased by DHS is aggregated. It doesn't directly 
link the names or personal information of cellphone users to specific location 
data. But there's still a lot of privacy-infringing information that can be 
gleaned from such information, says the ACLU:


In the documents we received over the past year, we found Venntel marketing 
materials sent to DHS explaining how the company collects more than 15 billion 
location points from over 250 million cell phones and other mobile devices 
every day.

With this data, law enforcement can "identify devices observed at places of 
interest," and "identify repeat visitors, frequented locations, pinpoint known 
associates, and discover pattern of life," according to a Venntel marketing 
brochure. The documents belabor how precise and illuminating this data is, 
allowing "pattern of life analysis to identify persons of interest." By 
searching through this massive trove of location information at their whim, 
government investigators can identify and track specific individuals or 
everyone in a particular area, learning details of our private activities and 
associations.

Re: [ot][spam] log: trying to take control of my free government phone

i tried to search xda for mt6739 information and am getting this
error: "The forums are currently offline while we are performing

google shows that there is indeed discussion around the mt6739

given the use of hw_code and separate use of platform, there is
probably some underlying thing that both mediatek and unisoc share. it
seems likely that bootloader stuff would work on both the same,
although they might need different download agents.

it could be interesting to compare the unisoc download agent with the
mediatek download agent, if it uses one.

this hardware code is actually in the mediatek platform table

this unisoc chipset might be an MT6739

i found you can try to compare the two chipsets at phonedb.net

https://phonedb.net/index.php?m=processor=769=spreadtrum_sc9832e
mediatek chipset:
https://phonedb.net/index.php?m=processor=748=mediatek_mt6739

- they are both based on 4x ARM Cortex-A53 MPcore .
- they are specified with different emmc revisions; the mediatek
chipset is a newer emmc revision, despite being released a year prior
- they have different embedded GPUs
- they appear to support the same suites of cellular data protocols
- they support the same display pixel dimensions and their modem
featuresets have the same strings
- the mediatek chipset supports opencl and vulkan (gpu driver
features), which the unisoc chipset does not

the unisoc page links to a datasheet. the link is broken.

they seem similar enough for it to be worthwhile spending some time
seeing if things that work on the mediatek chipset work on the unisoc
one with the same bootloader hw code.

so, i tried booting up the mediatek flasher, to see if it would do
anytihng, and ran into the same issue i ran into with the unisoc
flasher: it refuses to run unless you provide it with a partition map
in advance, and i haven't found a factory image for this phone yet.

_however_, i know from working with the protocol under the hood with
the mediatek phone, that it doesn't actually use the partition map for
anything for most of the protocol. it's a soft barrier.

the oem command does not work on this phone. i did find at
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/
that oem commands are likely sent as strings straight to the device,
and can usually be enumerated by grepping for strings in the boot
loader.

the device has a vbmeta partition, i guess all devices with verified
boot enabled likely do.

i'm a little surprised the boot thing from russia didn't work. i could
ask more at their forum, or ask the dev with the similar device; i
think i'd like to learn a little more about it first. i'm a little
curious about profiling the bootloader to see what it might be.

i could also try to reverse engineer the factory flasher a little, and
see if there are some useful codes or identifying information.

when I connect the phone to the system, it behaves similar to the
mediatek phone, offering a brief serial interface and relating
commands via it. it actually responds to my 'backyard mediatek
flasher''s handshake, with the same 'READY' exchange protocol. The
output of test.py is this:

Device preloader version: 0x3
hw_code=0x699 unk1=0x0 hw_subcode=0x8a00 hw_version=0xcb00 unk2=0x2 unk3=0x0

These are very similar values to the mediatek situation. It implies
that the two are speaking the same protocol, whatever protocol it is.
The chipsets are both based on arm.

after rebooting my system back to linux, it actually unhibernated!
often it will just boot up again, fscking the disk to handle nothing
having been cleanly closed. it is great to have the

this link seems helpful, if untrustworthy:

a google drive link to android_device_unlock.rar

the original post seems helpful, but most of the primary material
seems to be in russian, a language i have not myself learned yet. my
browser isn't showing the automatic "translate" popup and i failed to
find the search button on the russian site.

the dev of the open source OS i got working with the unihertz titan
uses a qin 2 pro:

hovatek has a lot of unisoc information. they link to a fastboot for
unlocking that is on mega.nz:

the mega.nz link just loads a lot of ads for me.

it's great to find a more normative set of information for this phone chipset.

it looks like there is a modified fastboot binary being used, that can
extract a special code from the phone that can be used to unlock it

it seems like it makes sense to try to get ahold of that binary, run
it, and figure out what its secret protocol is

so, the windows flasher i tried needs a .pac file for the phone . it
needs two partitions from it, and won't do much of anything without
them, including apparently downloading data from the phone. i'm not
sure where to find this factory image for this phone, but could look
more places.

another thing i found is that there are of course a handful of
hardware dongles for working with this chipset and phones directly.
this idea is inspiring. if the dongle approach works, then i might be
able to bypass any lock restrictions on the device by simply treating
it as a new device i am building.

it looks like the partitions it needs, fd1 and fd2, may simply be the
user and system partitions. i found a janky instruction guide for
generating a .pac file from backup images of a rooted phone. they
actually use the windows flasher tool, to pack the files into a .pac
file.

but i'll at least reboot into windows and try a factory flasher out!
there are at least 3 different factory flashers

i'm imagining there's a good chance an exploit or opening the hardware

dissociated discouragement.

"Reboot to bootloader" places it into the same-looking system as the
unihertz titan, where it is waiting for commands from fastboot.

unfortunately, when i do "fastboot flashing unlock", it says "unlock failed" :(

so flashing this phone may be a long-term adventure in learning the
bootloaders and flashing protocols

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

i have a serrano hot pepper l55b phone purportedly with a unisoc
chipset, running android 10 based on treble.

these phones can be gotten very cheaply, with a free plan, in the usa.
although i think the phone you get from the program changes. i got
mine because i got on foodstamps, at my family's request, and i wasn't
set up with a working phone, and this worked out for me.

it would be a good thing to make the phone run a custom rom so all the
other people who use it could use a normal phone. it is not normal
when bought. it is full of advertisements, very slow, and it wouldn't
let me use it to tether. i think it has other limitations too.

i searched earlier for OEM unlocking on the phone, but did not find
it. now, with my experience just working on the unihertz titan, i
found OEM unlocking. it is under system->advanced->developer options.

although somebody told me this phone could not run a gsi, it looks
pretty likely to me that it can. if the bootloader can be unlocked,
and there is a public factory flasher, then we just need to put an
appropriate treble system partition on it, and it might run like a
thousand dollar phone from silicon valley, dunno

This phone just needs a normal treble A/B arm64 OS.

Instructions for building from source at

Two posts earlier in this thread are some quick links to flashing information.

Re: [ot][personal][spam] trying to make my unihertz titan boot

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

the build instructions from the wiki are very simple. it's just one command.

meanwhile, the phone i actually use is a free government phone, and
i'd like to see what the barrier is around using it with an open
source OS.

the factory OS has more advertisement apps than normal apps, and it
takes a few minutes to respond to a touch. additionally it has some
issue going on where when i touch it it may register the touch in a
different spot than where i touched, making typing and swiping very
hard, and i'm not sure how i would diagnose this on a closed phone.

this free government phone has a unisoc chipset. it looks like there's
a factory flash tool at
https://spdflashtool.com/download/spd-flash-tool-r26-21-2801 .

i downloaded the 'treble info' app on it, and it is treble-based, so
an open source OS would run.

i've heard these phones are locked, and that trying this fruitless.
i'd like to learn the detail myself.

As surely as power follows wealth, those who make money decide that society,

should pay attention to them in another. And so, high-technocrats are beginning

I never figured out mtkclient, unfortunately. I never even got in
communication with one of the devs or users.

However, I've got all the v2xx phhusson treble builds booting on the
device using fastboot, which is great stability on that front. Even
running a rooted phone at all would be a step up for me.

I'm spending some time trying to build the treble releases from
source. This likely means finding a system with more storage space to
do the build on.

2022-07-19 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many

One way to flash and backup this phone is by using the FACTORY
FLASHER. I downloaded SP Flash Tool from
https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool and expanded it to ~/pkg
.

NOTE: New versions of SP Flash Tool will upgrade the boot download
agent (a boot software package with an extensive rpc interface), which
may make it much harder to install 3rd party flashing tools. I have
already performed this mistake on my own device, however.

The flasher uses a scatter file which I believe is just a list of
partition mappings.

The FACTORY IMAGE can be found at
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1fpO65z2_r9zT8UImuV8-5JCRBy33yZcV
. This is in the UnihertzTitan folder on my Windows partition. I do
not recommend using Unihert'z rebranded mediatek flasher, because it
only runs on Windows. The official generic mediatek flashers work fine
and are made for linux, where it is easy to log syscalls etc. There
are b2sums and sha256sums of many of these images in this thread.

The device can also be flashed with FASTBOOT, although this does not
provide for imaging in the other direction. One way to boot to
fastboot is by holding volume-up during boot, then rebooting to
bootloader mode.

First unlock the bootloader:
$ fastboot flashing unlock
And confirm unlocking on the phone by pressing volume-up.

Then flash:
$ fastboot flash system system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img

TREBLE SYSTEM IMAGE b2sums are in the "making my unihertz titan boot"
spam thread at
https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2022-May/099255.html
. The urls for downloading them are like
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/download/TAG/system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
where TAG is something like v207 .

I may have tested these images before, but I haven't quite found where
my work was if so. I recall they stop running after a major change in
the repository.
I have tested these images today:
- v207 runs fine
- v208 runs fine
- v210 runs fine
- v214 runs fine
- v220 runs fine
- v222 runs fine LATEST KNOWN WORKING

URL for the latest image I've booted successfully:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/download/v222/system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz

I have not tested any variants other than "vanilla" at this time.

I got a DIFFERENT CHECKSUM for v208 today. I have only checked the
images listed below. I am assuming that my differing checksum was due
to an incomplete download previously, and including the size here.

BUILDING FROM SOURCE
I haven't done this successfully yet. It likely involves cloning and
building huge trees of android code for a long time.
git clone https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations
cd treble_experimentations
git checkout v222
mkdir build
cd build
# note: this likely builds r40; the v222 releases on github appear to
be r41 . graphene10 is the same android ver as aosp10, could try it
too. the build-dakkar script does more of the repo stuff
automatically.
bash ../build-dakkar.sh aosp10 arm64-ab-vanilla-su
# when it asks to sync, hit Y the first time so as to build the
directory structure I guess

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS I ran into:
- at first after flashing treble with fastboot, the phone would
BOOTLOOP. I'm wondering if this is because I didn't do `fastboot
flashing unlock` before flashing with fastboot, or maybe because I was
flashing a partial download. I resolved it by reflashing the factory
image and using fastboot again. I did not need to perform OEM
unlocking after resetting to the factory image; it still had OEM
unlocking enabled. I may not have needed to reflash with the factory
image at all.

INCOMPLETE data for accessing the phone directly may be found near
https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient which is one of the open source
flashers. I also started a python

New Records Detail DHS Purchase and Use of Vast Quantities of Cell
Phone Location Data
Thousands of previously unreleased records illustrate how government
agencies sidestep our Fourth Amendment rights.
A photo of three cell phone towers in front of a sunset.
July 18, 2022
Shreya Tewari, Brennan Fellow, ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project 
Fikayo Walter-Johnson, Paralegal, ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and
Technology Project

Today, the ACLU published thousands of pages of previously unreleased
records about how Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, and other parts of the Department of Homeland
Security are sidestepping our Fourth Amendment right against
unreasonable government searches and seizures by buying access to, and
using, huge volumes of people’s cell phone location information
quietly extracted from smartphone apps.

The records, which the ACLU obtained over the course of the last year
through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, shed new light on
the government’s ability to obtain our most private information by
simply opening the federal wallet. These documents are further proof
that Congress needs to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act,
which would end law enforcement agencies’ practice of buying their way
around the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.

ICE’s and CBP’s warrantless purchase of access to people’s sensitive
location information was first reported by The Wall Street Journal in
early 2020. After the news broke, we submitted a FOIA request to DHS,
ICE, and CBP, and we sued to force the agencies to respond to the
request in December 2020. Although the litigation is ongoing, we are
now making public the records that CBP, ICE, the U.S. Secret Service,
the U.S. Coast Guard, and several offices within DHS Headquarters have
provided us to date.

The released records shine a light on the millions of taxpayer dollars
DHS used to buy access to cell phone location information being
aggregated and sold by two shadowy data brokers, Venntel and Babel
Street. The documents expose those companies’ — and the government’s —
attempts to rationalize this unfettered sale of massive quantities of
data in the face of U.S. Supreme Court precedent protecting similar
cell phone location data against warrantless government access.

Four years ago, in Carpenter v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled
that the government needs a warrant to access a person’s cellphone
location history from cellular service providers because of the
“privacies of life” those records can reveal. That case hinged on a
request for one suspect’s historical location information over a
several-month period. In the documents we received over the past year,
we found Venntel marketing materials sent to DHS explaining how the
company collects more than 15 billion location points from over 250
million cell phones and other mobile devices every day.

With this data, law enforcement can “identify devices observed at
places of interest,” and “identify repeat visitors, frequented
locations, pinpoint known associates, and discover pattern of life,”
according to a Venntel marketing brochure. The documents belabor how
precise and illuminating this data is, allowing “pattern of life
analysis to identify persons of interest.” By searching through this
massive trove of location information at their whim, government
investigators can identify and track specific individuals or everyone
in a particular area, learning details of our private activities and
associations.

The government should not be allowed to purchase its way around
bedrock
