The Wall Street Journal reports that the US government is actively tracking smartphones through a software development kit, or SDK, which is bundled with many popular apps. This SDK was added by a government contractor called Anomaly Six and this type of tracking is technically legal because it\u2019s being done through a third party. The worst part about this news is that we still don\u2019t know which specific apps are working with Anomaly Six.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/how-the-government-legally-tracks-your-smartphone-use-with-the-anomaly-six-sdk\/?aff=PNO12\">https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/how-the-government-legally-tracks-your-smartphone-use-with-the-anomaly-six-sdk\/<\/a><\/div>\n<h3>New Jersey Supreme Court rules that passcodes aren\u2019t protected by Fifth Amendment<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-300x148.jpg\" alt=\"New Jersey Supreme Court rules that passcodes aren't protected by Fifth Amendment\" width=\"300\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-1024x504.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-768x378.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-1200x591.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment-846x416.jpg 846w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-Jersey-Supreme-Court-rules-that-passcodes-arent-protected-by-Fifth-Amendment.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/>The top court in New Jersey has decided that those in the Garden State can be compelled by the court to unlock their phones.

Privacy advocates were recently vindicated when an appeals court agreed that facial recognition technology breaches certain rights and laws. The case was brought by a human rights organization called Liberty and represents a major victory for privacy from law enforcement in the UK. Hopefully other countries can pass or enforce facial recognition laws to stop the misuse of this technology before it ends up being used on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>PNO wants to know!

While those that use Instagram give up certain privacy rights when they use the platform, the issue is that a picture that includes the face of your friend who hasn\u2019t given consent to Facebook or Instagram could be used for facial recognition data. If that sounds familiar, it\u2019s because Facebook previously had to pay a 650 million dollar fine for doing the same thing with Facebook pictures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/instagram-faces-500-billion-lawsuit-for-gathering-facial-biometrics-data-without-consent\/?aff=PNO12\">https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/instagram-faces-500-billion-lawsuit-for-gathering-facial-biometrics-data-without-consent\/<\/a><\/div>\n<h3>New attack can decrypt 4G (LTE) calls to eavesdrop on conversations<\/h3>\n<p>A new attack that researchers are calling ReVoLTE (revolt-y) lets hackers eavesdrop on your phone calls made over 4G LTE.

TikTok used a bug in Android phones to be able to read the MAC addresses of devices that had TikTok installed and send that information back to China.
