Buon sabato a tutti! È online la consuenta puntata di #NINAsec, la newsletter.

Oggi si parla di vulnerabilità, #RCE e #backdoor ma con un taglio un po’ più tecnico, con spunti di codice per l’implementazione.
E il solito #funfact 😜

📢 La Banca Centrale di Papua Nuova Guinea (BPNG) ha dimostrato una prontezza e un'efficacia notevoli nel respingere un recente attacco cibernetico.

✅ L'incidente, rilevato il 21 febbraio in un ambiente di test isolato, è stato completamente risolto entro il 23 febbraio, senza alcuna interruzione dei servizi bancari o compromissione dei dati degli stakeholder.

👩‍💼 Il Governatore Elizabeth Genia ha sottolineato che questo evento è stato distinto da altri incidenti di sicurezza informatica segnalati nel paese, evidenziando l'impegno costante della BPNG nel rafforzare le proprie difese attraverso sistemi di monitoraggio avanzati e la collaborazione internazionale.

🔑 Punti chiave:

• Nessun impatto sui dati finanziari o sulle operazioni bancarie.
• Risoluzione rapida e efficace.
• Impegno continuo per la sicurezza informatica.

Questo episodio ci ricorda l'importanza cruciale della vigilanza e degli investimenti nella sicurezza informatica per proteggere le infrastrutture finanziarie critiche.

Diritto di accesso ai propri dati personali: il caos operativo delle linee guida Ue

Le linee guida europee sul diritto di accesso si scontrano con una realtà frammentata. Il report del Garante europeo della protezione dei dati (GEPD) evidenzia criticità nelle procedure, tempistiche e interpretazioni, suggerendo soluzioni per una gestione più efficace per garantire il diritto di accesso delle persone ai propri dati trattati dalle istituzioni dell’UE

FOSDEM 2025 - How we are defending Software Freedom against Apple at the EU's highest court

Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, keynote speech

Apple is one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world. Its unbalanced power spans over software and devices, trapping end-users and developers in tight lock-ins. This approach has prevented Free Software to flourish in environments controlled by Apple.

The EU has reacted to Apple's monopolistic practices by passing the Digital Markets Act - a law containing several anti-monopoly obligations against big tech. By designating Apple as a "gatekeeper" of digital markets in the EU, the DMA, the company has now to comply with several rules regarding sideloading, enabling of alternative app stores and interoperability of its operating systems. Apple has put forward an aggressive policy against the DMA. The company started litigation against the Euopean Commission to dodge DMA obligations.

Due to the high risks against software freedom, the FSFE was granted right to intervene in the case. By demonstrating that Apple is being regulated in light of public interest, the FSFE is proving to the court that interoperability and software freedom are compatible with human rights.

In this talk, Lucas Lasota explains why this court case is pivotal for Free Software in Europe. In case the FSFE succeeds, Free Software developers will enjoy higher degrees of software freedom in Apple devices. They will also enjoy better access and interoperability by being able to demand effective and free-of-charge interoperability between their software and Apple’s software and hardware.

"I read this book to my 6-year old child who was drawn by the beautiful illustrations and couldn’t wait to hear the story. It’s been the start of a much-needed conversation on out-of-the-box thinking, digital freedom, and contesting power in the age of surveillance."
