The “roadmap” for the ProtectEU initiative, recently announced by the European Commission and framed as an effort to “ensure effective and lawful access” to data for law enforcement and judicial authorities, marks a reversal of democratic priorities: privacy and fundamental rights are treated as obstacles to be managed, rather than founding values to be protected. In document COM/2025/349 final, drafted as part of the ProtectEU strategy, the new “internal security” plan unveiled b...| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Association for the promotion and protection ...
Today, the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policies credited our bank account with the 5x1000 donated by Italian residents when they filed their 2023 taxes. The 5x1000 is a tax mechanism allowing Italian taxpayers to allocate 0.5% of their income tax to support nonprofit organizations, scientific research, cultural activities, or social initiatives of their choice. It provides a way for citizens to contribute to public-interest causes without incurring additional costs. As publicly disc...| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Association for the promotion and protection ...
“This is an industry that should not exist” said Edward Snowden in 2021, referring to NSO Group infamous Pegasus and its competitors. It is evident that digital surveillance through spyware is one of the major threats to privacy and users worldwide. Whether it involves spyware developed by criminals for extortion, advanced tools created by well-established European companies and authorized by major democratic governments (and non-democratic ones), or low-cost, amateur software designed to...| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Association for the promotion and protection ...
In the last few days, many Tor relay operators - mainly hosting relay nodes on providers like Hetzner - began receiving abuse notices. All the abuses reported many failed SSH login attempts - part of a brute force attack - coming from their Tor relays. Tor relays normally only transport traffic between a guard and an exit node of the Tor network, and per-se should not perform any SSH connections to internet-facing hosts, let alone performing SSH brute force attacks. After a first analysis by ...| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Association for the promotion and protection ...
We have registered with RIPE NCC as ORG-ON69-RIPE. Thanks to a generous sponsoring LIR (Local Internet Registry) organization, we are now a sponsored organization, and we can request resources from the RIR. As such, we have applied for an Autonomous System number and have been assigned the number 214094. We are in the process of obtaining a PI (Provider Independent) or Legacy IPv4 /24 block and IPv6 address space as well, in order to announce it directly from our local urban “datacenter”.| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Association for the promotion and protection ...

In the previous blog post, we summarized part of the Cellebrite product history, and grasped some insights on the market of surveillance software and equipment aimed at mobile forensics. In this blog post, we will explore the current unlocking capabilities, as per their February 2025 documentation distributed to customers. We’ll also introduce some concepts and terminology, and hint at basic mitigations, though proper follow up will come in subsequent posts.| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Associazione per la promozione e la tutela de...

Contact Info changes # We have updated the ContactInfo field in the torrc configuration of all our relays to align with the proposed ContactInfo Information Sharing Specification. This standard defines a structured format for describing key attributes of a relay family operator. Ensuring operators are reachable and that relays are associated with trusted individuals or organizations is crucial for the health of the Tor Network. To enhance transparency, we have also published proof of relay ow...| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Associazione per la promozione e la tutela de...
In recent months, we had the pleasure of collaborating with I.I.S. Ettore Majorana in Turin for a series of meetings on digital security, hacker culture, and education for a criticial approach to the use of technology. The experience was incredibly positive: we met curious students eager to better understand the mechanisms of the digital world and, most importantly, to protect their online privacy. Why go to schools? # We live in an era where technology permeates every aspect of our daily lives.| Blogs on Osservatorio Nessuno - Associazione per la promozione e la tutela de...
