US Immigration and Customs Enforcement put out a fresh call for contracts for surveillance technologies before an anticipated surge in the number of people it monitors ahead of deportation hearings.

On November 6, just hours after news outlets declared that Donald Trump had been elected the next president of the United States, Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted a notice asking companies to submit plans for how they would expand ICE’s system of ankle monitors, GPS trackers, biometric check-in technology, and human agents monitoring “non-citizens” awaiting immigration court hearings or deportation.

The notice signals the mechanisms through which ICE will expand its intensive surveillance of people awaiting deportation hearings—a list that could grow from under 200,000 to more than 5 million.

Throughout Trump’s presidential campaign, he has promised to execute “the largest deportation operation in American history.” Beyond promising workplace raids and giant detention “camps,” Trump hasn’t released specific plans for how his mass deportations would work. However, it’s likely that many granular aspects of a mass monitoring, detention, and deportation program would be planned by private companies contracting with ICE.

ICE’s recent notice asks interested companies to send specific details about how they would store location data and personal information, where their office locations would be, how they would staff agents, and what technology they have for remote surveillance, among other details. Currently, ICE uses a combination of ankle monitors and GPS-enabled smartwatches and smartphone apps to remotely monitor people. It also uses apps with facial recognition for “biometric” check-ins.

The notice says companies must have facilities with “suitably large intake rooms” for people being enrolled in ICE surveillance. They also must have the “ability to perform mass-scale intakes as required by unforeseeable events.”

Contractors would be facilitating ICE’s Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, which is a way for ICE to monitor these undocumented or unnaturalized people without placing them in a detention facility. ISAP is meant especially for people who have been in the United States for some period of time and already have a house, apartment, or other residence. ISAP has flourished under President Biden, who has more than doubled the number of participants since December 2020, putting the current total at almost 200,000 people.

For ICE, according to the November notice, the program offers “considerable cost savings” compared to detention. So even if Trump follows through on his promise of mass detention, it’s likely that ISAP would be a significant aspect of any mass deportation program.

Compared to its recent November notice, ICE was more detailed about its 2025 plans in a different notice released last year. This earlier notice shows that ICE was preparing for a more intense immigration policy on the horizon regardless of who eventually won the election.

In the 2023 notice, ICE says that ISAP’s parent program, Alternatives to Detention, would be rebranded as Release and Reporting Management. This new program would involve monitoring every single non-detained person who’s awaiting a court hearing or deportation, as opposed to just some. At the time the notice was published, ICE said 5.7 million people were eligible to be monitored under the new program—meaning that if implemented, the scale of ICE’s remote surveillance would increase by approximately 3,000 percent.

According to a government contract database, B.I. Incorporated has been ICE’s ISAP contractor since at least 2005. The company is a subsidiary of GEO Group, which is one of the largest private prison companies in the US.

Though the stock market as a whole went up the day after Trump’s victory, GEO Group’s stock boost made it “the single biggest winner in the US stock market—among companies of any size,” according to Robinhood-owned investment news site Sherwood News. Its five-year contract to run ISAP, worth $2.2 billion, is scheduled to expire next year.

On a post-election earnings call for GEO Group, CEO Brian Evans said that the company could increase its ISAP capacity by “several hundreds of thousands of participants, and up to several million if necessary,” as reported by HuffPo. The company’s COO, Wayne Calabrese, added that they have already informed ICE that it’s ready to do this.

“We expect the incoming Trump administration to take a much more expansive approach to monitoring the several millions of individuals who are currently on the non-detained immigrant docket,” Calabrese said on the call.

According to HuffPo, GEO Group competitor CoreCivic (previously called Corrections Corporation of America) had its own post-election earnings call, during which CEO Damon Hininger said that the timing of the November 6 ICE notice was “probably not a coincidence.”

“We took that as a very encouraging sign,” Hininger said.

**Exploitability Metrics**

Attack Vector: This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible. This metric value (and consequently the resulting severity) will be larger the more remote (logically, and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerable system. The assumption is that the number of potential attackers for a vulnerability that could be exploited from across a network is larger than the number of potential attackers that could exploit a vulnerability requiring physical access to a device, and therefore warrants a greater severity.

Attack Complexity: This metric captures measurable actions that must be taken by the attacker to actively evade or circumvent existing built-in security-enhancing conditions in order to obtain a working exploit. These are conditions whose primary purpose is to increase security and/or increase exploit engineering complexity. A vulnerability exploitable without a target-specific variable has a lower complexity than a vulnerability that would require non-trivial customization. This metric is meant to capture security mechanisms utilized by the vulnerable system.

Attack Requirements: This metric captures the prerequisite deployment and execution conditions or variables of the vulnerable system that enable the attack. These differ from security-enhancing techniques/technologies (ref Attack Complexity) as the primary purpose of these conditions is not to explicitly mitigate attacks, but rather, emerge naturally as a consequence of the deployment and execution of the vulnerable system.

Privileges Required: This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess prior to successfully exploiting the vulnerability. The method by which the attacker obtains privileged credentials prior to the attack (e.g., free trial accounts), is outside the scope of this metric. Generally, self-service provisioned accounts do not constitute a privilege requirement if the attacker can grant themselves privileges as part of the attack.

User interaction: This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable system. This metric determines whether the vulnerability can be exploited solely at the will of the attacker, or whether a separate user (or user-initiated process) must participate in some manner.

**Vulnerable System Impact Metrics**

Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the VULNERABLE SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.

Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).

Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.

**Subsequent System Impact Metrics**

Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.

Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).

Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-9331-03

Atlas Biomed, a DNA testing company that promised clients insights into their genetic disposition has suddenly disappeared.

A DNA testing company that promised clients insights into their genetic disposition has suddenly disappeared. The BBC reports it tried several methods to reach the company but failed in this effort.

London offices are closed, nobody answers the phone, and clients are no longer capable of accessing their online records. All the company’s social media accounts haven’t been updated since 2023 at the latest.

The atlasbiomed.com domain appears to be inactive. Customers were only able to look at their test results online, these were not downloadable, so now they are not only unable to see them, but they also have no idea what has happened to that data.

Although there is no evidence that any of the data has been misused, it is worrying to not know who now has access to the data, especially now that the investigation shows that there might be ties to Russia.

While four out of eight company officers have resigned, two of those that remain are listed at the same address in Moscow. That happens to be the same address as that of a Russian billionaire, who is described as a now resigned director.

DNA testing has become so commonplace that many people have blindly participated without truly understanding the implications. It has always been a problem to figure out who you could trust with your genetic data. For some people it’s their cheapest chance of finding out whether they are affected by some genetic disorder.

Since those early days, we’ve had several warnings about how submitting your genetic data can go sideways.

In 2018, MyHeritage suffered a security incident which exposed the email addresses and hashed passwords of 92 million users.

In 2020, Ancestry was acquired by investment firm Blackstone for $4.7 billion, which raised questions about the potential commercialization of genetic data and its transfer to new owners.

And the ongoing saga of what happened at 23andMe is the clearest example of why people would be hesitant to submit genetic data. In 2023, cybercriminals put up information belonging to as many as seven million 23andMe customers for sale on criminal forums following a credential stuffing attack against the genomics company.

Since then all board members have resigned, except for CEO Anne Wojcicki who has stood by her plans to take the company private, raising again the subject of what happens to customer genetic data when a company is sold.

Data breaches happen to the best companies. So, even if a company has good intentions, there is still a risk of your genetic data being linked to your personally identifiable information (PII). This makes the information a treasure trove for advertisers, insurance companies, and Big Pharma.

All of this makes it very understandable that customers of Atlas Biomed are worried about where their data might end up.

**Words of warning**

The UK regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has confirmed it has received a complaint about Atlas Biomed, saying in a statement:

> “People have the right to expect that organizations will handle their personal information securely and responsibly.”

Unfortunately, we know that not all organizations will meet that expectation, so there are a few things you should keep in mind.

If you submit genetic material, research the company you want to trust with it thoroughly.

Only share the personal information you absolutely have to provide with the genetic testing company. Lie if you must and create a separate free email account so the information can’t be tied to your main account.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the company’s privacy policy and opt out of sharing information where possible. Make sure to stay informed about any policy updates or changes from the company.

As a wise lady and one of my former editors once wrote:

> “Many a friend and family member have scoffed at my warnings to stay away from consumer DNA testing kits, remarking that they have nothing to hide or that there’s no harm in releasing their DNA into the hands of researchers. I honestly hope they’re right.
> 
> I hope they never have to fear having their health insurance ripped away because of pre-existing conditions or an increased risk of developing certain diseases. I hope they aren’t inundated with marketing emails about cancer-preventative nutrition or the best new medicines to prolong the onset of Alzheimer’s. I sincerely hope they’re never targeted by racial-profiling police officers, denied a job by a prejudiced employer or buried in paperwork after having their identity stolen by a hacker. And I fervently hope they’ll never have to hide their genetic profile from a government hell-bent on ridding its country of a certain ethnicity or race.”

**We don’t just report on threats—we remove them**

Cybersecurity risks should never spread beyond a headline. Keep threats off your devices by downloading Malwarebytes today.

 DNA testing company vanishes along with its customers&#8217; genetic data 

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

Debian Security Advisory 5805-1

A significant amount of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel have been resolved that include use-after-free and race conditions.

    Linux kernel vulnerabilitiesA security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:-   Ubuntu 20.04 LTS-   Ubuntu 18.04 LTS-   Ubuntu 16.04 LTS-   Ubuntu 22.04 LTS-   Ubuntu 14.04 LTSSummarySeveral security issues were fixed in the kernel.Software Description-   linux - Linux kernel-   linux-aws - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems-   linux-azure - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems-   linux-gcp - Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems-   linux-gke - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems-   linux-gkeop - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems-   linux-ibm - Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems-   linux-oracle - Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systemsDetailsIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use ip_local_out()and other functions can pass skb->sk as function argument. If the skb isa fragment and reassembly happens before such function call returns, thesk must not be released. This affects skb fragments reassembled vianetfilter or similar modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c, when run aspart of tx pipeline. Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of this bug.Quoting Eric: Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implyingskb_orphan(), which is buggy because output path relies on sk notdisappearing. A relevant old patch about the issue was : 8282f27449bf(“inet: frag: Always orphan skbs inside ip_defrag()”) [..net/ipv4/ip_output.c depends on skb->sk being set, and probably to aninet socket, not an arbitrary one. If we orphan the packet in ipvlan,then downstream things like FQ packet scheduler will not work properly.We need to change ip_defrag() to only use skb_orphan() when reallyneeded, ie whenever frag_list is going to be used. Eric suggested tostash sk in fragment queue and made an initial patch. However there is aproblem with this: If skb is refragmented again right after,ip_do_fragment() will copy head->sk to the new fragments, and sets updestructor to sock_wfree. IOW, we have no choice but to fix up sk_wmemaccouting to reflect the fully reassembled skb, else wmem willunderflow. This change moves the orphan down into the core, to lastpossible moment. As ip_defrag_offset is aliased with sk_buff->sk member,we must move the offset into the FRAG_CB, else skb->sk gets clobbered.This allows to delay the orphaning long enough to learn if the skb hasto be queued or if the skb is completing the reasm queue. In the formercase, things work as before, skb is orphaned. This is safe because skbgets queued/stolen and won’t continue past reasm engine. In the lattercase, we will steal the skb->sk reference, reattach it to the head skb,and fix up wmem accouting when inet_frag inflates truesize.(CVE-2024-26921)In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect() Garbagecollector does not take into account the risk of embryo getting enqueuedduring the garbage collection. If such embryo has a peer that carriesSCM_RIGHTS, two consecutive passes of scan_children() may see adifferent set of children.

If there is a GC-candidate listening socket, lock/unlockits state. This makes GC wait until the end of any ongoing connect() tothat socket. After flipping the lock, a possibly SCM-laden embryo isalready enqueued. And if there is another embryo coming, it can notpossibly carry SCM_RIGHTS. At this point, unix_inflight() can not happenbecause unix_gc_lock is already taken. Inflight graph remainsunaffected. (CVE-2024-26923)In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm:swap: fix race between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff() There waspreviously a theoretical window where swapoff() could run and teardown aswap_info_struct while a call to free_swap_and_cache() was running inanother thread. This could cause, amongst other bad possibilities,swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() (called by free_swap_and_cache()) toaccess the freed memory for swap_map. This is a theoretical problem andI haven’t been able to provoke it from a test case. But there has beenagreement based on code review that this is possible (see link below).Fix it by using get_swap_device()/put_swap_device(), which will stallswapoff(). There was an extra check in _swap_info_get() to confirm thatthe swap entry was not free. This isn’t present in get_swap_device()because it doesn’t make sense in general due to the race between gettingthe reference and swapoff. So I’ve added an equivalent check directly infree_swap_and_cache().
