Security News This Week: A Devastating Report on the CIA's Deadly Mistakes in China

Wired  

There's no such thing as summer vacation in security, and researchers started off this week by disclosing a problematic flaw in Intel processors that undermines the company's so-called secure enclave offering, and potentially other capabilities like virtual machines. Activists in Syria are establishing a sensor network to give civilians advanced warning about airstrikes, invisible mouse clicks could let malware onto macOS devices, and vulnerabilities in fax machines are putting lots of corporate networks at risk—even in 2018. Beginning in late 2010, the Chinese government spent roughly two years infiltrating the pool of CIA agents in China and executing many of them—possibly 30 people in all. It has been unclear how the Chinese government knew who to target, but US officials told Foreign Policy this week that Chinese operatives compromised the CIA spy network thanks to flaws in what was supposed to be a secure communication system. The news comes as Microsoft officials said last month that three congressional campaigns have faced phishing attacks and other hacking attempts so far in the 2018 midterm campaign season.
