Kazakhstan will force its citizens to install internet backdoors

[Borg 386]

In less than a month, Kazakhstan will begin enforcing a new law that requires every internet user in the country to install a backdoor, allowing the government to conduct surveillance.

In a brief statement (translated), KazakhTelecom, the country's largest telecom, said citizens are "obliged" to install a "national security certificate" on every device, including desktops and mobile devices.

This allows the government to conduct a so-called "man-in-the-middle" attack, which allows the government to intercept every secure connection in the country and snoop on web browsing history, usernames and passwords, and even secure and HTTPS-encrypted traffic.

Telecom companies must monitor which internet users on its networks have not installed the certificate, according to a translation of the statement.

I wonder how long it will be before our "Small Government" Conservative politicians decide that this is a great idea and that it should be inflicted on us (Australians)?

It's pretty much already happening here (NSA).

I am surprised Linux was not included. I am surprised the mobile devices are included, if I am not mistaken the mobile device may not accept the certificate.

It's highly illegal to do that in the U.S. so my advice is don't...
















get caught doing it.

Sort of. You can legally knock down a drone over your own property in certain circumstances but the question is how. You are correct in a lot of states you can not shoot guns off outside of your home. That because what goes up, must go down. I really don't like the idea of delivery drones.

Drone shooting can become a sport kind of like skeet shooting.

Use a water cannon. The new thing will be turrets on your house equipped with high pressure water device. Hmm I going to head over to Go Fund Me and get this idea off the ground.. Drown a Drone

Someone needs to come up with Silly String on steroids.

Seriously, guys, in the U.S., it is a Federal offense to fire any firearm, laser, etc. at any aircraft (and drones are considered by the FAA to be aircraft) even if it is over your property, spying on you, etc. (I don't like it either but that is the way it is). There have been several incidents reported in the news over the past year and the persons who did the shooting were charged and convicted every time. It's fun to joke here about diabolical ways to take the annoying little buggers out (I like the steroidal Silly String myself) but, in the real world, it's not a joking matter.
