“DICT’s ‘Project: SIM Check Mo’ puts subscribers at risk of number scraping, other attacks”

“The project lets any mobile user to text “SIM Check” plus the phone number of any subscriber to 1326 (DICT’s hotline), and they will receive the registration status of the number, the initials of its owner, and if the record of the number is in good standing.”

‘“Project: SIM Check Mo” is a “solution” looking for a problem that it can eventually become. Already, foreign numbers such as Malaysian ones are being used to spread spam and scam messages to Philippine mobile subscribers. SIM Check Mo simply cannot address that. As such, this project will be a failure from day one.’

“NTC, telcos checking legality of deactivating apps, services for unregistered SIM users”

"Let's say after the 60 days, you will lose your access to your Facebook accounts or our TikTok accounts, but you still can use your phone, you can still call, you can still text. And then after a certain period, you will lose your outgoing calls," Uy explained.

The official said the same tactic has been implemented in other countries.

In India, a number of Chinese mobile applications, like TikTok, are banned due to security concerns.

BOOM!

“The National Telecommunications Commission said Wednesday it did not give permission for telcos to use emergency alerts to remind their users to register their SIMs.”

"The SIM card registration is an invasion of privacy and the alert warning for this is not the disaster I envisioned when I authored the bill," Colmenares said.

They should be penalized for it. They can use the money they are charging people for manually helping them register their SIM cards. ^_~

“While we understand the importance of addressing crimes, misinformation, and scams, the Mozilla Philippines Community firmly believes that the policy neglects the critical role of online anonymity in safeguarding whistleblowers and promoting public discourse. Additionally, the deployment of digital identity systems may create security risks that could have catastrophic effects in the event of a data breach.”

2021 Story Relates: ISP's Quietly Selling Netflow Data

What really concerns me most about all of this is the Team Cymru CEO sitting on Tor Project's board.

Isn't that a bit of a conflict of interest?? :ohgno:

I don't think these articles will make the world's most vulnerable more comfortable using Tor.

Tor is a tool. It's still very useful in most cases, but never been an all in one solution.

Creating another layered network, between you and your destination.

If life depends on it, never trust any single tool completely on its own.

It's why I made this tutorial on Proxychains: connect to Tor using a random chain of proxies, and Tor in the middle, preventing single points of failure:

Tor Bridges are better than no tor bridges.

And you can also connect to a proxy inside Tor Browser.

(more anonymous than using a VPN with your name or payment method attached to it)

Want to try connecting through a proxy?

Try some of the proxies listed on the Gitea Onion (Tor browser accessible link):

Have to say I'm really concerned about this... We've known for a while ISP's have been quietly selling raw "netflow" data to people like Team Cymru.

Story out: access to 90% internet data, selling to military, corporations. ?

Surveillance is an evil, inhumane venture. Never forget that.
