Careless Whisper: Exploiting Silent Delivery Receipts to Monitor Users on Mobile Instant Messengers #SilentReceipts #UserMonitoring #PrivacyRisk #MessagingApps #SecurityExploit arxiv.org/abs/2411.11194

NEW BOMBSHELL REPORT: Mobile numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to top Trump officials including Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard have been found online, revealing an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels. TECHNOLOGY NEWSWIRE: Free Spy Tool Can Track 3 Billion WhatsApp and Signal Users CYBER NEWS: A tool for tracking over three billion WhatsApp and Signal users has been publicly released MORE FROM THE ARTICLE: The new user activity tracking method exploits how WhatsApp or Signal messaging protocols work at the fundamental level -- it abuses delivery receipts to calculate the signal round-trip time (RTT). Apparently, anyone can ping your device, the app will respond, and the RTT will vary wildly depending on what the phone is doing and whether it is using WiFi or mobile data. Security researchers first described this vulnerability, dubbed "Silent Whisper," in a paper released last year." An adversary can craft stealthy messages that enable probing a target at high frequency (up to sub-second granularity) while not causing any notification at the target side and also in the absence of an ongoing conversation," warned researchers from Gegenhuber et al., University of Vienna & SBA Research. However, now one cybersecurity researcher, operating under the alias "gommzystudio" on GitHub, has released a proof-of-concept tool that demonstrates how easy it is to track sensitive user activity." A phone number can reveal whether a device is active, in standby, or offline (and more)," the developer writes. BUT, BUT, BUT... Considering the reported use of Signal by "Secretary Of War" PeteHegseth, this could be more than concerning.... If the past is prologue then a lot will happen in the next couple of years. And we are not prepared for any of it. cybernews.com/security/whats… Filed Under.... #CyberSecurity, #PrivacyVulnerability, #WhatsAppTracking, #SignalTracking, #SilentWhisper, #CarelessWhisper, #RTTExploit, #DeliveryReceipts, #BatteryDrain, #DataDrain, #PhoneNumberTracking, #DeviceActivity, #OnlineStatusLeak, #UserMonitoring, #SurveillanceTool, #GitHubPoC, #gommzystudio, #MetaFlaw, #SignalFlaw, #UnpatchedVuln, #MessagingApps, #EndToEndEncryption, #PrivacyLeak, #CyberThreat, #InfoSec, #HackingTool, #ProofOfConcept, #RealTimeTracking, #ActivityInference, #SleepPatterns, #HomeDetection, #MobileData, #WiFiDetection, #StandbyMode, #OfflineDetection, #SecurityResearch, #UniversityOfVienna, #SBAResearch, #CyberNews, #TechNews, #PeteHegseth, #SignalApp, #NationalSecurity, #DataBreach, #TrumpOfficials, #MikeWaltz, #TulsiGabbard, #SecurityBreach, #CyberRisk
